    Are we still allowed to go prospecting?

    Your partners a Nurse. She is best placed to coach you in what to do/what not to do. Their procedures are strict no? If the shite hits the fan locally here she'll need support too. My wife has a high risk job as well but I'll be damned if I'd go scurrying off into the bush to leave her by...

    Are we still allowed to go prospecting?

    Im 70 and my wife works in the Aged Care industry. The government tells me to stay indoors but she relies on me for transport. Her work places me at risk of contracting the virus. She has told me to get up the bush but Im not going to let her get in a taxi day and night and risk infection from a...

    No work looking for place to go

    Its strange. I was just thinking that this afternoon. This occurrence may not happen in isolation or the virus could mutate and wreak further havoc down on us. At least, if it happens while were isolated from the rest of the world, we may avoid the impact.

    No work looking for place to go

    The way I understand it is that every day that new cases are diagnosed, we are at least two weeks away from beating it. This is complicated if they are unable to verify the source and subsequent contacts. So, if you want to go bush, you need to take into account that you need supplies for the...

    Gold Monster for sale.

    Ive never used it. I have replaced the two upper shafts with a one-piece carbon fibre shaft so it can be shortened for travel/storage. It is complete, including original box. Also comes with a detector bag (XP Deus minus the badge.) I cant post it as it wont fit in the box anymore. (Carbon shaft...

    Panning vs Detecting

    I always pan an area thats new to me. The results give me an indication whether its worth detecting the dry ground. I also prospect by running my gold detector over crevices in the creek. Plus, its a lot cooler in the creek. ????

    Proud to be Aussie?

    Is this the same country that came together during the bushfires? Im afraid not. There are two types of people. Givers and takers. Thats always been true. I just didnt realise the takers numbered so high. And, I didnt realise how naive I am. Sad, really. What a bunch of xxxxxxxxx. (Mods may...

    Proud to be Aussie?

    Australia exports two thirds of the food it produces. We are a land of beef, sheep and wheat. There is absolutely no need for this behaviour. Its our overseas customers who should be worried. NOT US!!! Im on an aged pension. Im managing but cant afford to bulk buy to any extent. Hopefully those...

    INSIDE NOKTA & MAKRO DETECTORS

    Embers. I have been a Minelab fan since I bought my new Goldseekers 16000 back in the 80s. I recently added a Nokta Simplex+ to my collection and I have to say its an impressive piece of kit, especially taking into account its price tag. Its also of note that Noktas products are not made in...

    Highsluice

    Dont get me wrong, Im not knocking the idea. I have considered it, too. Thats why I asked the Ranger for his opinion.

    Highsluice

    I hear what has been said above. The Ranger I spoke to interpreted using the method of utilising reduction piping to increase water pressure as hydraulic mining and referred to the guide. Ive attached the section below:

    https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/doc/member-docs/4872/1583034004_fossicking-a-guide-to-fossicking-in-nsw_copy.pdf I have seen this in old pics and stories of sluicing with a monitor in the US during their gold rush. They had the advantage of plenty of water coming off the Rockies with...

    Who Buys Meteorites in Australia? Please Give Referals

    I believe that some state governments, maybe all?, require found meteorites to be handed in. Others here are probably more au fait on the laws.
