    Paradise, Chowey, Mt. Shamrock gold fields

    Thanks dwt - low n slow it is - 60 odd views you're the only reply - pretty obscure little diggings here in S E Qld - I'm not surprised there is little feed back. The property I am on is really beautiful - so it's a win, win ..... gold would be a nice bonus tho.

    Money Tree ?

    Also would like to ask if there is detectable gold around the Paradise dam - Mt Shamrock area in S E Qld. It was an old Gold location 1870-1885 but I am still unclear on weather or not that sort of gold diggings and today's modern detecting would be compatible - that's not very clear I know but...

    Money Tree ?

    So I am having major old lap top issues at the moment and not being ignorant in not responding to to your helpful (in some cases) responses. I will return to aforementioned tree and possibly cut it down but there is definitely no wire or such visibly in it and each individual root gives a signal...

    Money Tree ?

    Guys I am pretty new at this lark but got a bit of a handle on how my new gpx 5000 works after about 7 hit outs. But today I have got to say has been my most frustrating yet!! I have never read or heard of trees giving a strong positive signal but I experienced it today. I thought I was finally...
