[Jaros]

[nucopia]

Bit gold I mean cold was it ?

 

[RM Outback]

Nice way :Y: to see out an ordinary day MT have you got a weight for your effort.

 

[Way2go]

Many people are looking at your pans and saying why can't ours be as good as that!

Well done and a great way to spend some time when the weather is not so good.

 

[Bluecurrant]

Im one of those people. One day i might stumble across a patch like yours. Terrific find.

Two fist size rocks, mate, in all honesty, you are making all of us jealous and so you $loody well should.
Keep them coming mate. Bugger about the weather.
Mackka arty: arty:

I hope you didn't miss the flour gold mate I'm guessing your panning may be a little different to that in the Eastern States?

 

[shakergt]

You got that horrid weather also. Shame. I'm sure it's a lot warmer though where you are

 

[Lesgold]

Nope...everything out of the pan is collected and goes into a ball mill with mercury so hopefully get the lot.

I pan the same way I did back east, just takes two hours longer because of the time difference plus no daylight savings

Your curtains must still be in good nick without those daylight savings

First time I visited WA it was a real time warp - they used to be 2 hours and 20 years behind :lol:

 

[Bluecurrant]

Im catching ya mad tuna. 2.5 grams from 100 pans :Y:

 

[Noogle]
