Hi Guys, I'm after some costume Gemstones, Acrylic or similar. One Clear, like a diamond, the other black or smokey. Maybe 30-40mm diameter? doesn't mater what type of cut, preferably the same. Anyone know where I might be able to get some?

Yeah guys I'm after the bit on the end of the shaft that bolts onto the coil. basically mine at the moment is a bit of wood with a hole in it, and it gets loose too easily. The thing "old hand" has above is what i'm after.

OK so i've been struggling along with the coil attached to a bit of wood, but it keeps coming loose. So is there anywhere i can get a plastic moulded piece for mounting a coil on? I've not had much luck online finding one. Thanks James

Just bought a new house, thats new for me, the house is at least pre 1911, but i've not had much luck in finding out how old it is. So either way, since i'm getting the place restumped, i thought I'd look around under neither the bit that is probably the oldest bit. And i found the these...

Whats the go at misery creek? Anything other than gold there?

I found the best way to fid the ones with good olivine in them was by the shape. once you've got your eye in on the shapes, like big potatos you'll find them easy. Also look around cos you can find calcite crystals too, but hey are harder to find. Good luck! Take a box with you to take some...

Best place to go would be Mt Shadwell, in mortlake. The Olivine Bombs are really easy to find, its free, and they have a guide come and help. very kid friendly.

Hi Guys, I'm headed up to Donald this weekend to pick up a car(for parts) and wondering if there is anything interesting fossicking wise nearby? was thinking of making it a weekend, but not sure whats about. Thanks

The guy in the prospecting shop in myers street in geelong has one of these on his wall. He knew a bit about them.

Looking for a set of headphones for the f1a4 prefer a working set, but a dead set with the original connector would be awesome so i could mod it. Pm me if you have anything.

So on Saturday the brother in law and myself went down to the beach for a quick swing. He has an SDC and i have the cobbled together F1a4 with an 11" mono. We spread out and he starts digging straight away(near the main beach entrance) and finds, tent peg. I wonder off down the beach and try...

There are lots of things that are magnetic, but not made of iron. Water for example, is diamagnetic but can be effected by a magnetic field. Oxygen is another https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_oxygen#Red_oxygen

Went to the Beach yesterday, and did some looking round. Checked out that white lump, and it was a hard white clay. so nothing interesting. Found a bunch of Seashell fossils in rocks, see pic below. Also found a large shell, in the clay in the cliff, which i dug out and kept. Not a fossil per...

Went to Bells last night, and though i didn't have a chance to poke around i did see the below object suck out of the cliff. There are very few white stones on the beach and the only one other than this i had seen, looked like a chunk of chert, so i think thats what this thing is, but it's...

I'm actually going to be down there tonight too, so will have a quick look as long as the weather is ok.

I'm going to head down there again on tuesday and have an unencumbered look around, I think the kids brought a couple of bits of that up to ask if it was a fossil. No crystals, but very chalky yellowish chunks.

Took the kids down there,(30 or so) and did a spiel on the rocks and sedimentary layers and stuff, and then sent them off. They found a few fossils, some sea urchin ones, a couple of shells and what looked like the top of a crab shell. I found the best one though, I reckon. was a conical sea...
