Picked the young bloke up a Minelab GoFind 40 during the week for $100. Very impressive so far. I have had him down the local park digging his fair share of ring pulls, bottle caps etc. Im glad i went for the lighter gofind as he says his arm gets tired pretty quick. Ive started adding a little...

Thanks guys, he is lucky he has two bikes so he is only getting rid of one. I was thinking more the 705 as i have used a 305 and didn't mind it. The young bloke is keen to learn and it beats shoveling dirt all day through a sluice. I think he is more interested in finding something, i think he...

Hi guys, Ill try this again in the right topic. My young bloke has asked me to sell his motorbike and buy him a metal detector. Im just wondering if im better off going all out or start him off on something simple. Im assuming i will be doing the swinging and he will be doing the digging as...

we had some of those bangles made in bali from $2 coins (or scrap brass). We have had some made up for our kids.

My brain is hurting...... Trust me when i say i have no expectations of going out and finding anything. I love the fact that he has an interest and it gets us out and about. I just want to feed his passion and get outdoors so i figure sticking with gold ground will see us doing a bit of...

So after a fun weekend away with the young fella he has been on youtube watching all things "GOLD". He currently has a $20 Kmart special metal detector he bought with his christmas gift voucher and he wants to upgrade. I wouldn't mind a decent detector either and it looks like i can kill two...

Thanks heaps for the help with location. The two of them were conspiring in the car for the next adventure and then crashed out about 15 min down the road and slept until we pulled in to the driveway. They had a great day creating their own fun with rocks and water, you wont get that out of an Xbox.

Got the young bloke out early this morning and headed for a drive to Oallen Ford. We seemed to be the only ones there without a highbanker but that didnt stop us. We found a nice spot by the river and started panning some material. Found small flecks in every pan, some tiny others a little...

Thanks wal. I will throw him in the car and head for a drive.

Looking for some info on where to take my young bloke to get some colour in his pan. He only need to see a flake and he will be happy as his been pestering me to get this walbanker built and i figure i can stall him with a pan for a while. somewhere close to camden would be good but don't mind...

i just had a look to see at some of your posts, i seen that damn leech van today at Oran Park and was laughing, then seen your photo of the van at cowpasture rd. I am sure i will be in touch.

i would send you a PM but i have not learnt to use the force yet, once i reach 10 posts i can level up and become a "real boy". Ive got a mate seeing if he has some in his bunch of crap but if he comes up short, which i assume he will, i will get in touch. Where abouts are you?

Hi guys, I have been through every page of this DIY and am now motivated to start my own uild. For those that are having issues sourcing i had luck with the following, Cable Tray - CNW Electrical and also JR Turk. Miners Mat (backed) - Purchased the same as Wals from bunning and then found the...

Ive been browsing the forum over the past few days, seeing as i am housebound after just having a shoulder reconstruction. I have been sourcing all the gear to knock up a walbanker. I think my young bloke will enjoy building it as well and im sure it will make every spec of gold that comes out...

Thanks for the replies, i will probably take him for an overnight trip so anywhere that has a good spot to throw a swag will be a bonus. I will look into knocking up my own high banker, its just a matter of finding time.The walbanker looks great, i might even be able to modify it so its small...

HI all, My names Ryan and I've recently moved down to Sydney from Darwin where i had some small success with fossicking. After many hours of ground work up north i have now moved south and have a blank canvas to start researching gold in NSW. I mainly pan gold with my son as he is very keen and...
