Having a re-think/upgrade on my prospecting gear and looking at some point to purchase a water pump capable of both running a 1.5" water hose at full noise as a pressure nozzle, and alternatively will also use it to power a walbanker type setup spraybar. was looking on ebay and a Warton 8HP...

HeadsUp cut me a couple of bits some months ago but have changed plans and building a wider sluicebox to fit the new pump. $20 each, will post for $14 statewide or pickup Melbourne Point cook (or can bring into CBD work days) Just going to sit around looking pretty otherwise.

Between heading back to NZ shortly for Xmas (down to Queenstown also for a week poking around in some private land), and then a month in Nepal shortly after I get back I've realised most of my gear is not going to get a run this summer. And I have plans for a much bigger setup anyways so can...

I'm hoping someone has some lying around they are not using. Failing that maybe someone wants to go halves with me for a new 100m roll (best price per m new). Or if someone can point me to a local vic distributor. My best price so far is $171 for 50m (Rato power products) cheers

I was up that way a few weeks ago and some interesting areas. A few mines, and Edwards reef (next to Mt Useful and up the road from store point) was once a bustling little community. was an interesting drive and a break from reccying into some of the deeper valleys. I didn't have the 2300 with...

And my apologies for the 2nd hand nature of this, but it comes from a reliable source. I have a picture of the guys who found it holding the pans in the Minelab store in Melbourne, and sadly one of them passed away in 2014 so we will never know where he got it from. He was an acquaintance of my...

Some eye candy from my weekend out Gippsland. :)

New to Victoria, and I'm often out and about wandering around forests in West Gippsland. I see this year is looking like a potentially bad or at least long fire season. How do you keep yourself informed when you are off the beaten path for a number of days at a time and out of mobile coverage...

I am planning on heading west of Muckleford this Saturday if anyone is interested in joining me for some detecting company for the day. Will leave Melbourne about 05:30 and probably pack it in about 14:00 Happy to provide transport from Point cook, or simply meet up somewhere there.

Hey My Sister just sent me this picture (I think it was a subtle hint). but pretty cool present idea.

Panning in the hail! ....aaaaaand then it snowed.... have returned home wearing 4 layers and still half frozen.

I thought this was a pretty cool vid. Awesome old quartz structures inside, and ice at the entrance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2V7SAZjKhc

I got given 50kg's of black sand concentrates from the inside of some old mining machine. My initial joy wore off when I found out it had already been through a sluice a couple of times, and a couple of test pans realised just how dense this black sand was, but there was a couple of specks still...

Hi, Any suggestions for a day trip out of West Melbourne? Went to Andersons creek a few weeks back (pan/sluice), and also a reccy trip into the upper latrobe valley (damn the water was COLD!) but would like to explore out west melbourne if anyone has any suggestions. Rainfall has been fairly...
