Bob digs the clay, shovels it into the big drum (an old oil tank cut in half) which has a sieve in it. I hose it with the high pressure hose which breaks it down. He shovels the rocks out, & the gold bearing dirt mostly stays in the drum till we wash out. It then flows through the sluice &...

Morning members :) Did you see the article last week about Centrelink watching ebay & other internet sites for people who are selling gold? They said they have caught many welfare recipients who are selling on these sites. :o ranma
