It's been ages since I jumped on here or had a chance to go out! I thought I was itching to get out before, after jumping back on here its more like a whole body burning lol. Going out this weekend, beyond ready to go!

Im just north of launceston but happy to travel if the prospects are decent. Im thinking of joining the local lapidary club in hopes of meeting some locals that might want to part with some wisdoms. Just a matter of finding the time.

Cheers for the links! Yeah i was thinking tin fields, just not sure about access. Also don't want to get shot by any crazy land owners :P

Is that in the public fossicking area or further down stream?

Hi all, I've been absent for quite a while due to ill health, but im back and running again and i have the itch to get out something fierce! I moved to tassie nearly 3 years ago, but fell ill pretty soon after arriving and haven't had a chance to get out there really yet. I don't know where to...

Hi all, I am flying up to melbourne mid this month to go on a family prospecting trip. My grandad wants us to all help him dig out a hole he swears has something at the bottom of it, and just generally have the "one more big family trip with everyone" before... you know.... He knows everything...

Has anybody been back out the weld since it got sucked clean? Im hoping to get out in the next couple of weeks. Hoping i dont find a sorry sight when i get there though.

I would hire wal, liz, Colin and lea, and pick their brains on everything gem for a few days, I would hire liz to teach me how to cut stones, then buy 4wd, build a walbanker, and send a case of beer to them each every time I found a stone over 40ct. Oh and a pop up trailer.

I'm in the west Tamar region, went for a drive over to weld today, didn't have much time and it was my first trip there so I didn't get a great deal done, sure is a lot of spinel out there though, always gets me excited. We should get a group of us out there sometime.

Hi all, So I made the jump over the water and moved down to tassie! It is stunning down here, good news I haven't grown a second head yet, but bad news, I don't know any of the prospecting areas down here. Help! Itching to get out, but don't know which direction to drive.

Found my new plan for the zombie apocalypse!

I am not alone! :P \m/

Off to GG tomorrow with my bf and mum for my birthday, just wondering if anyone has seen any snakes or other nasties lately? Except the dead sheep, I smelt that one already, and i'm armed for the leeches (taking no prisoners!) Also just curious on opinions on the up stream vs down stream of...

Some beautiful colours! Getting a real bad itch to get back out there..... Ahhh!!! Anybody going out in the next week or two before chrissy?

hi everyone, i am thinking it is time to amp up my gear and add a high banker to the mix. At the moment all i use is sieves and pans, i chase sapphires and gems, and sometimes gold. I was wondering how much i am looking at spending on a setup if purchase from a shop, and then how much i am...

Richo, how did you go yesterday? Good to meet you and the missus. I don't think that sun could of been any stronger if it wanted to, invisible zinc didn't even save my shoulders. What's up stream like? I've not been up there yet.

Any chance of getting a photo of them with light passing through? Might help to see the structure a bit better.

Done mate, good luck to them.
