Gold689, maybe contact your local gem club? They'd have quite a few lapidary enthusiasts who might be happy to cut it for you for a nominal fee... I'd offer but I'm still a novice.

There are some wonderful people on this forum, thank you for the offer of help :)

Hey deepblue, that'd be great :) we've been talking about trying daylesford out tomorrow. Would you be around, and happy to show us a spot? We'd be very grateful :) and we can shout some lunch!

Hello all, Me, the hubby and a friend are headed up to blackwood on Sunday for a bit of fossicking, and we were going by a map in Gemstones of Victoria, but it's looking a bit outdated now. For instance, they suggest trying the Lederderg river, and nowadays that's off limits. So what I'm...

Oh Dug, absolutely! The day was a blast and I can't wait to do it again. I didn't get anything I could cut myself but I can send it into Lambert and see what I get. It really is fun :)

Hello there! As a novice gold prospector, what basic gear would I need for panning and where could I make such a purchase? I know there's Ebay but I wouldn't mind checking out some shops, too, if there's any around that sell what I need. Cheers, Kitangel

Not yet, that's a question I was going to ask somewhere.... probably on the tools section.... where can I buy them? And some sieves, maybe? I know there's Ebay but I was wondering if there's anywhere... more solid. Sorry :S

Hey WalnLiz, Thank you so much! I've been scouring Youtube for different tutorials and I've seen most of your videos, you're really knowledgeable! I'm looking forward to babysitter time for the kids so the hubby and I can really get down to it. We've just got to practie a lot now :) Thank you...
