Totally agree with you Grubstake.... Cat and Matt Stay safe and cover the ground carefully, you must not miss any. Swing low and slow. Cheers Diablo

My first pick this year from my home grown avocado tree. Not bad for a backyard in Wagga. We usually get about 150 to 200 every second season just like these!

Here's another one with some pony or donkey shoes and stirrup Cheers Diablo

Hi Passlow, Best check Livingston state forest status. There was plenty Tungsten, some silver, and some gold diggings. Pretty sure all is off limits to detecting. Not sure about Berry jerry, most gold in this area is fine and sparse. Small reefs and quartz lens Cheers stay safe Diablo

Here is one I found about 30 years ago. Not as solid looking and have had to make a key. Cheers Diablo

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has had trouble contacting Gold Gem & Treasure. I received my subscription renewal last week but have been able to contact them by phone. All phones are out of service. Any ideas or info. Cheers Diablo

My thoughts, best wishes and prayers are for you both. Cheers Diablo and Wagga wagga prospecting folks

I run my 4500 with the 12 in with great results set up almost identical to Old Hand. Very good for small gold and handles the hot rocks well. Just remember Low and Slow and a nice stable threshold, ground balance often. Below is proof,,, latest from Rushworth 0.66g Best of luck! Diablo

Hello folks, Just home after a day and half at Rushworth with a nice little 1/4 gram nugget. Looking at it's smooth surface you wouldn't think it was found on top of the hill. I find Rushworth a comfortable place to detect, plenty of lead of all shapes and sizes......keeps you on your toes...

My oldest token, 1808 East India Co. My oldest coin 1812 silver shilling Cheers Diablo

A better photo of the bracelet Cheers Diablo

Hi folks, With great weather in the Wagga district and a leave pass for two days (Sat, Sun) it was time to head to the local hills with the 4500. The results with detector was poor, mainly bottle tops, iron wire and lead. Better results came from a good pair of eyes and a morbid fear of snakes...

Hi Roel, Try the link ( copy and paste) https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=Gold+mine+Wagga+&exactPhrase&anyWords&notWords&requestHandler&dateFrom&dateTo&sortby&s=20 Trove is great resource if you enjoy reading old history of your search area. Plenty of information can be gleaned from...

Mike, Just been looking at some of the info added by Goldpick, and rechecking the image of your button and I might suggest that yours maybe gilt. Worth a closer look. If they are just brass then could be a general service issue, 1899-1901. Thanks again Goldpick! I must check the diameter of mine...

Mike, Yeh, I had no luck in identifying either. I usually do all my practise around the local hills. Anytime I get a chance, I at least have the Tesoro Diablo in the car to swing around old reserves etc. even do some of the local beaches (away from the busy areas). My main interest is really...

Hi Mikezoom, Coincidentally I am from Wagga and found this button on a detecting trip to NE Vic. See my topic, "Buttons and Buckles" https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7795/1472890869_image.jpg...

You need to get an idea of the age of the sediment the shells come from. If they older than I think, 3000 yrs, they are fossils. Cheers Diablo

Sorry images didn't go up, my issue. Working now!

Hi folks, just thought I would share a passion of mine since a seed sprouted in a pot some 40 years ago. It was a good Xmas tree and indoor plant for 10 yrs before being planted out when we moved into home. Produces best every second year, but has produced 150 plus fruit in a season as good as...

Hi Justin, Last year I met a guy working at the antique shop nearly directly over the road from the Museum in the Main Street of Adelong,,,, has a stamper out the front of a good museum. Great exhibits of the gold era in the area. Including working models of crushers etc. this guy was Mathew...
