I have been running a small hobby business for a few years no and been advertising on Ebay as a classified ad with reasonable success. How ever I missed my last email to re list and the ad has gone. I spent most of the day texting with ebay only to be told by two people that once it is gone it...

Thanks. That's good to know as it is not too far away. I expect they are off the beaten track as everyone and his dog will have hit the town area. Can you give examples, names so I can locate them on google.

I got it. Here it is for all to use. Cheers Doug WD

Well. I had to try.

Hi TM That's fine. I have been considering getting back up that way. I have interest in ghost town Stirling. It is off the omeo road just past Tambo Crossig. Turn left and it is about 20 minutes in. It was mined for gold in the old day's as well as I think tin. Chinese diggings in area. If you...

Hi. I am trying to save time. I wish to gold prospect north east or east of melbourn (not too far) that I can find some gold. Does anyone have or know where I can get one. I am looking for a good map showing creeks (not on probhibited list) showing the best area to try. You know.... one with an...

I would have said. "In the country" haha

Hello. As far as not knowing what your doing. That does't matter that much as long as you enjoy doing it and ask questions. Ask many questions. That is how you learn what your doing. And I liked your intro. By the way, roughly where in east gippy are you. I have interest in prospecting that area...

Mine is based on a property I had up bush. There were so many wombat holes that my wife said that when I kick off all she had to do was toss me down one. And I like scraping for gold.

Hi. Yes I have a jeep 4x4 and it is really a pop top camper. has plenty of ground clearance and bearings will be done in the coming week. This unit will be checked out and serviced before I use it anywhere. A few years back I used to do on site services on caravans so I know what to keep an eye...

Hi everyone. It seems that my planned trip to Eldorado Reedy Creek is put on hold for a short while. I have just bought myself an old capmer van (pop Top) and we now need to prepare it for our use. This will make things much easier for us to get away in the future so I think it is worth it. So...

Some links to the history of the area. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/7893343...

Hi PabloP. I have checked the exempt creeks and rivers list and Haunted stream is not on it. I have also researched the gold history of Stirling, an old ghost town where they were mining gold. The old diggings at Stirling along the stream are stl there. Access is off the Omeo road just past...

Has anybody had any info on this area. I have been to Haunted stream at Stirling years ago and had a dredge but didn'y know how to use it properly. The dredge is well gone but now getting into prospecting with pan and highbanker. I know gold was mined there and also I think tin. My question is...

Hi. I was up at Wedderburn in vic a few years back and swinging a Garrett deep seeker. I was not having much luck but kept at it. I did eventually find my first nugget. It was huge. I did not know what to do. I could not get it out of the hole. Did not want to leave it iin case someone came...
