Does anyone know exactly what has been found at Silent Grove?

Hi all, I'm now in search of decent quality shod (steel sleeved) miner's pick handle or even the complete pick with head. The old school type. Has anyone seen these or have any idea who might stock them? I think I saw them in a fossicking equipment shop in Rubyvale but that was a while ago...

Ended up getting a 450mm from CMT equipment in Tweed Heads. They have lots of sieves and were extremely helpful. Would recommend anyone who needs something similar to give Dave a tingle. Thinner stainless and mesh than the old sieve but they were the only supplier I could find in Aus. With a bit...

Do you know the dimensions of the rough stone. Might help someone possibly decifer the cut size? Here's to hoping you have ridiculously large hands that just make the stone look on the smaller side? :D

Hi Chiron52, I hope you guys have a great time and enjoy your travels. Keep us posted on the treasures you find? :D :Y:

Thanks for looking for me Lone Wolf, you are a gem. Hehe :P Mr Tumbles haven't seen them in ages either. Manufacturer closed down a while ago apparently. Cmt at Tweed have a stainless version. Only non cert one I could find is Aus. What on earth happened to the 600mm big suckers.. oh well. I...

The only cutter I've ever found out that way was at 7 Oaks after the heavens graced the area with some rain, hopefully we all get a good dosing of the wet stuff soon again. Digging from the supplied pile was much easier than breaking your back with virgin dirt which was handy. I found my cutter...

Lone Wolf, do you know what dates the gem show on? :)

Haha, now I'M confused! :P

Haha thanks Jaros, took me a minute but I got you know! :8

I just had a look on the website for Mr Tumbles and they have the one I'm after listed, but whether it's in stock is another thing. Might just be a sign though as we are travelling through deepwater when we go on our rock hunt at the end of the month. You have been so helpful, I really...

Hi Lone Wolf, That is a good idea! I'm on Brisbane southside. The old sieve is approx 600mm so I was looking for something around the same size. 420mm may do though if a good price. The only one I can find is completely stainless, 450mm with a 4.5mm mesh and is around the $115 mark including...

Or if anyone fabricates their own custom sieves please let me know!

Hi 7.62marksman! Thanks for the welcome! Looking forward to being part of the group.

I have been fossicking with my family since I was an anklebiter and it was way back then that I contracted rock fever. If you can see through it, I want to dig for it! My passion is sapphires, although I've never found anything good enough to really brag about.. what a shame.. my best was a...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has ever had any luck finding a aluminium/stainless sieve that is wet rated and is larger than 450mm diameter. My old willoughby sieve has given up the ghost and I'm having absolutely not luck sourcing anything bigger than 450mm. :brokenh: Anything between...
