Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Parents are busy all weekend and then away for a fortnight interstate so no good on that front :( Shame as they would be a great addition but I honestly dont know when Id get the chance to get down myself either Obviously not meant to be, hope whoever...

Wow!! Man Cave goes upmarket. Can you let me talk to Dad tomorrow, hes a bit closer in Frankston than I am in Ballarat. Ill let you know as soon as I do Brett

Looks the goods GG, still gathering materials so you are miles ahead of me. Give me a shout if & when you are heading up this way again

Thanks NightJar Got a printed copy of the same, no mention of machine gunning... Going out tomorrow for a swing so will see if I can learn a little more from a little more swing and scraping

Thanks, I've watched many a YouTube in the lead up to this and haven't heard one like this. Feeling better to know it isn't completely out of the box strange

Hi all, New to this portion of the forum having been a pan and shovel man up till now. Finally found what I thought was a great buy for an SD2000 and jumped in It's with me now and it's had a hard life in WA, as a bonus it had already had the crystal mod performed - however the switch knob is...

Hi, there are some puddles about and evidence of high bankers around. Still only standing water, some in the middle reaches of Cotty's whet it runs parallel to Wolfes/Drakes Rd (depends if you are using the right name or the google map) I'd say you are in for a little digging to get a decent...

Nice work PP, great way to break the drought

Had the chance to head out to Slaty Creek (Creswick) The weather held out till it was time to grab the kids so have to be happy. More rain now so the puddles are surely growing First time in a new spot and moved 6-8 buckets for a little show. Chunkier than sailors creek but nothing too crazy

Yep, still plenty of mercury out there. Even in my small experience I have had to 'rescue' gold I've panned from sailors creek Daylesford from mercury entrapment. First time was a fright, heavy silver lump in pan and thought to myself, 'hmmmm, strange. I'll just pop that in the vial with the...

Thanks AR, pots will probably get a strip & clean, replaced from the stash if needed. Was hoping someone had found some specs in their internet travels as the coils are epoxied within an inch of their lives so will make in situ readings a bit of a pain Just looking to have a little fun and...

hi, Seems a few coinmaster users about so hoping for a hand I have two old coinmaster 6000's and a Sears re-brand ( I think it is similar to a 5900) My drama is I have only one coil and it is need of repair, cracked casing and no top connector Thought I'd have a go a rolling my own and wanted...

Interesting googling From what I've been able to find it's either 100 or 200 mesh gear depending on personal take So 100 mesh is ~149u (micron) that's 0.149 mm The pin in the pic is about 250 micron at the point where is zips out of frame comparing it to my recently dug out micro drill bits. The...

So tell me, are you guys getting smaller gear than this? That's a pin point beside for reference. Sorry about the fuzzy shot, phone camera & 30x glass in combination This is about the limit of my eyes so if it's not fine gold then even if it's in the pan I ain't getting it :D

Hey Eski, I'm just down the road in the forest( from the fire shed that is) Always good to hear from someone who recognises home, not too many know where Mollongghip is. All local-ish Daylesford gold, handy to access when I've got a spare hour or two between kid pickups and work etc

Re: the plate trick Please notice the white backdrop :) I do the same, chase off the stray rubbish with a dressmaker's pin then put away the gold Realised that there is gold on the five cent in the pic so not the exactly the pic I thought I was putting up, to be totally honest that is after...

Thanks guys, so maybe I've over guesstimated what fine gold is :) Lots more water since last I saw you Maltisau, most of the section near the bridge is now deep enough to pan in and there is definite movement in the stream Will post up a few shots in show'n'tell now I've figured out how to...
