Hi all, Ive been a long time lurker and occasional poster and thought Id chime in again. I have a weekend coming up with a mate and were heading towards hill end. Balmain Bob has shown me the ropes in the area and have been incredibly grateful to have him share his knowledge of the area. I...

Nice to see this big guy online! Well done mate.

I was not aware of that. I may delay any more visits to that area for some time haha.

Good point :|

I've had ACORN help me 3 months after I reported something. Don't lose hope!

Sorry I didn't see this early DrDuck. Thank you for that interesting read. We sure have a lot to learn from history. I recently acquired a GM1000 (not the best, but its a start) and I was hoping to go out for a swing. I couldn't really see any over with other maps I have looked about, but the...

Hi DrDuck, thank you for the links :) I will look them up. Might save me buying a book for now ;) Cheers

Hello all, has anyone tried many state forests? The closest ones for me (about 1.5 hours from home) are the Mittagong ones. I tried Jellore a few days back and found very sandy terrain (unlikely to find gold). Thinking of trying Belanglo. Cheers

Hello all, I was hoping to invest in some prospecting literature. Would anyone mind sharing an opinion on Gold Prospecting - By Douglas M Stone? If there is anything you could recommend, I'm all ears :) Cheers, Mechmovt

7.62 Marksman: Many thanks for your encouragement! I'll keep at it. It was very slight disappointment, but just being out in the bush away from the busy life was really nice :) I will try a slower paced walk and swing next time. Nucopia: definitely did! Always love being away from Sydney and...

Hi all, reporting back from a day in Oberon. After spending an hour in sapphire bend with no finds, we got bogged in the mud on the way out. Luckily a lovely family gave us a hand getting out. We then made our way to porters retreat. I had a good swing of the GM1000 for a while, and found...

Thanks Nucopia :) I will try and chip in where possible to up my post numbers. I'll definitely post anything I find! Also, a small update: I will most likely be hanging around Oberon as sister does not want to go to Hill End tomorrow. However, she is keen to take a day or two for Hill End in...

Thank you everyone for the welcomes :) Nucopia: thank you for the recommendation, I will keep that in mind. Jaros: thank you! Neil: Thanks for the info! I see Bob has posted as well. I will let you know if I can get round there. Balmain Bob: Thank you for the offer Bob! I will let you know...

Hello everyone! I have recently, very recently, caught the fever (as I believe it's called). I have been reading up on the forums, and have come across some real helpful tips! Even though I'm just beginning, I thought I'd invest in what I deemed to be be semi-decent, so I went out and bought a...
