Hi Shanan I too am from the Glass house Mountains. I do most my prospecting around Kenelworth. Allays keen to meet new people for a dig

I pulled a nice piece ( about 1/2 the size of my little finger nail ) from under a rock in the river just down from where Reid creek runs in to the onk. Try digging behind some of the tree close to the river when the river is at its lowest. If you got up to Reid creek and then continued up...

Hi Goldenred33 from Reid creek up to Claredon. I pulled the best pieces from where reid creek meets the Onk. Hike up from Reid to and you will come across the old workings. There is exposed quarts vanes in the river and in the hill side. This is not in the National park but you are with in your...

i found a small dimond in jupiter creek along with garnett

Hi Jason Just seen your message on email. I am keen to meet up on a creek somewhere for a dig its just finding the time at the moment. Works keeping me very busy right now. I haven't even had a chance to explore that river at Woodford yet. Stay in touch and if you are going out drop me a line...

Hi Ozzie I have only panned the upper Finnis directly below the hill on which there is an old gold mine, but there was evidence some one had been detecting. There is no sign of alluvial mining and the mine its self is a reef mind. The land the mine is on is privately owned but has been deemed...

Hi Chevy1977 You can find gold in the upper reaches of the Finns river around Mount Compass. Good Gold can be found in the onkaparinga just down from Clarendon. Both locations would require permission to cross land to the rivers. However if you wanted to make the trek up the onk you could hike...

Hi Sunny Coasters. I,ll through my hat in the ring, yeah defiantly interested. I hale from Beerwah. Has anything eventuated from this. ?????

Wow, Your lucky to find anything at Jupiter's, That is of cause if you are not working the wrong side of the fence !!!!! 15 minutes and a sizable piece !! Lucky

Hi Newbie Welcome to the forum. Firstly there are a lot of variables that will determine where to start your dig like , is it a fast flowing or slow flowing, dose it flood often or very rarely, tightness of the bend and any obstacles in or around the bend, dose the creek renew its gold often...

The photo are off my two home made highbankers. I use a simple triangle slide to adjust the angle of the header box. it works well for me. just a thought

Looks impressive Revdog but I noticed you have gas struts to lift the feeder box. Two thing you might want to consider is the struts won't last to long out in the field especially with the plunger arm facing up and second you will want to be able to adjust the angle of the box depending on the...

Heres a thought I have but . I believe the concept would work but would require a fair bit of development. I would like others feed back and thoughts on the idear. Using the same stile of device with modification, instead of using water through a pump as the main driving force I was thinking...

Thanks for that link Occasional_panner. I do have a device like that which works well but i could never get down to where the gold was. I did try various configurations on my hand pump suction device. But the smaller I went the more frustrated I got with constant blockage. But I might revisit it...

so what dose that mean for us prospectors, when we drive on a road (crown land) that crosses a creek (crown Land) dose that mean we can traverse that creek through private property with out fear of prosecution as we have not crossed private property to access the creek. ?

I am down in Adelaide at the moment and I see there is still an old debate still raging about the state gov taxing farmers for using there own dam water. This poses a legal question. Dose the SA Gov then consider all dams to be state owned (crown land ) because they cant just own the water in...

Hey Guys Have a look at the scale of the thing. It has a maximum of a 12mm tube that can only be stepped down from that. In no way was it designed to move quantities of material. It comes in to use when you have cleaned out a crevices ( the conventional way ) and the crevice keeps filling with...

Yeah I've have figured out (Dredge) is a dirty word on this forum. I have a friend up here in QLD who owns a large property with old gold mines on it and a nice creek running through it and he has no problem with me trying my creations in his creek. The truth is I do less damage than others who...

Home made crevicing dredge which any one can make with items from there shed All compacts in to one bucket I would be interested in seeing others creations.
