As can i Loamer, and i will be putting this to the test, more so looking to intersect reefs, indicators, not to specifically pin point gold. im crazy at the best of times so to assume this would be.............. well id be wearing one of those funny jackets that do up from behind you and no...

Now thats a precarious way to kick off a Topic :) and who better to do it than yours truly. Just the other day out on a gold field, no where near Clunes 3 old fellas were takin the piss out our ability to find big gold. i at the time had a giggle. sometimes doing it 'just for the sheer...

Found this the other morning. this pic i kinda Hijacked but i can tell you that the coin i have is either 1823 or 1825. either way it precedes the gold era in Ballarat. this Relic patch is getting exciting, also i found 2 buttons and a Muscat ball and the usual suspects. :)

i tend to go for a walk along the creeks and see what their doing :) helps to pick a dig spot when it drops. and i earmarked 3 likely spots to have a go at in the next week. :)

If i had the opportunity to be Prospecting full time, well need i say more :) So my usual week consists of me running my own gardening business throughout Ballarat, Ive also become the interim Liason for the newly created Bendigo PMAV branch. prospecting on a daily basis, be it pan, swing, dry...

Funny how a 100 ft hole is ok from the 1800's, yet a 2" scrape is condoned ay

Hi Keepondiggin Go back and read what I said,my point that it would excuse for parks and greens to ban them. I was there back in the days of days for the fight to retain dredging,and the BS that was put up by the opposition to us,several us were on ABC country wide,then the crap appeared when...

Hey Matt, Golddigga and i spoke out this earlier on the phone and believe a day out is a go, the where and when bit...... to be continued............ KoD

Jim, you can safely get a 140, the amount of continious work involved is immense, its the untold truth to it. there is a great deal to do on the run, but like all tools a system forms quickly. having 3 of you digging, processing and prep would work hands down, if you for what ever reason believe...

All the above :) SD's are the go for deeper Targets but Id say look seriously at a P.I machine. ( Pulse Induction ) given its WA the machine will be used at your in good stead with the above advice, i didnt want to feel left out throwing in my 1/2 grams worth KoD

I guess its like Lego and Lego ( in SA ) the say Lago..................go figure. its the instrument of war, so its title to me is insignificant, it works, so ill just keep Dry Washing, lol

I may have already mentioned this but here we go again :) Apart fom myself, Goldiggs,DD who else has run a Dry Washer in Vic? Im interested to know the success story and if your brave enough to share the failure story too. Gold digga n i know the value of research and this method is a sure fire...

If you look after and maintain your machinery, run them with some thought then why so much debate? Lets face it, how hard is a noise plate or muffler to buy or make?? Yup, 2 strokes are louder and may foul but work smart and you eliminate a key issue or two turning it into a machine worth using...

Cheers guys, feelin the love :) yes, the 2100 is gone, replaced with a dry washer but i endeavor to get another swinger. thats a nice nug pic to use digg, might just hijack it, haha ill post a story or two im sure. :) talk to you lot soon. KoD

Hey matt, just reading through and i know you mentioned ya budget mate. Id seriously consider an SD2100. yes they are more expensive but well worth the time saving for one. i have found many bits with mine, although recently i sold it to get a drywasher. but my avatar is a 6.5gm nug found close...

Keep in mind you can get a hand crank version, i dont know its work rate but gives you grounds to argue the mech laws as its your muscle not a ump, besides the NSW laws are just ridiculous. Hey golddiggs, got good crunchy stuff so game on man :)

LOL LOL LOL Good morning Sir, oh i was gunna but a nice change would be to dig in natural light, not via head lamp, although i could run a 50 metre lead and rig up the 500w work light............ might take u up on the offer this week. i have a good feeling for the new spot and would love a day...
