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...

Hi all, i was just wondering how much i would be looking at to get a stone valued or even just looked at and identified by someone? Also, how much does it cost, on average, to get a stone cut locally rather then overseas once it gets over say the 6ct mark?

Hi I am looking for 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch fossicking sieves, don't mind if they are a bit rough, as long as they are in usable condition. Thanks. :)

Went out to GG yesterday with my partner and grandparents. Grandparents got tired pretty fast and napped in the car most of the afternoon after no luck with gold. Me and Chris (my partner) got stuck in and shortly realized we didn't have the right gear, thankfully however, others did and they...

Hello everyone. I am trying my hand at fossicking this weekend, fingers crossed.. I have planned a weekend trip to sapphire bridge area with my partner and my grandparents. Both my grandparents have been gold prospectors for over 60 years now and my grandfathers knowledge on gold is incredible...
