Sorry. I should have posted them, but a guy drove up from Canberra about 9pm tonight and bought it. It's gone to a good home.

Seller shows info suggesting he's a MINELAB dealer. Central West Prospecting Supplies. Is this the same ad? PS: Damned autocorrect keeps changing MineLab to "Minicab". Driving me nuts! Grrrr!

If you want to do some serious prospecting, and if you're willing to shovel some pay dirt, then you might want to give sluicing a go. This sluice was build by Mudguts - who is well-known in this forum, and includes a powerful petrol-powered water pump complete with hoses. I'm pricing it at $300...

I have my two-coil X-terra 705 for sale. It has the two coils, one for gold and the other for finding knick-knacks, artefacts or on the beach. Don't buy a crappy Chinese-made knockoff, buy a real Minelab metal detector. Asking $500, but I'll negotiate if you're nice about it. David, Cherrybrook...

An East Kimberley prospector says the mining downturn is forcing more people to go in search of gold to make ends meet. Martin Ynema owns mining leases around the old Halls Creek town site, the birthplace of Western Australia's gold rush in the late 1800s. Read the full story below...

Some lucky person managed to unearth this 9.1 Kilo gold nugget near the town of Ruby in Alaska. It weighs a whopping 294.10 troy ounces, which makes this lovely nugget the biggest one ever found in Alaska. Isn't it a (not so) little beauty? :lol: Source: Facebook. http://on.fb.me/1PAY3AG

I thought you guys would drool over the thought of this giant 2 Kg nugget being forgotten for decades in a wooden box. http://ab.co/1NSzsdO

The JimmySierra site wants less than $25 for a copy, but it is out of print.

Thank you. That is very generous. :) I have just sent you a message. David

Thanks, AtomRat. I am glad that someone else in this forum recognised some value in the info. But I think your chemistry knowledge leave mine for dead. :-)

I am very happy for you, AtomRat. :)

New discovery, in the news today: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-19/researchers-discover-a-way-to-remove-mercury-from-water/6865462

I couldn't find it at %56 USD. Instead another is selling for more than $300 AUD: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/The-Complete-Unabridged-Zip-Zip-Book-By-Larry-Sallee-ISBN-0-9654584-2-3-/111790195765?hash=item1a07370435:g:~~QAAOSw4HVWEyIU 8)

Yeah. Probably it was all the TV crew could get hold of when making the report for the evening news.

I just found this video on Youtube. I covers some fantastic finds in the USA and in the UK.
