[QUOTE="Driller, post: 391910, member: 3619"] The Kalgoorlie Museum has the dryblower that Lorden donated on display. They also have the plan that was submitted for patent on display as well. Lorden`s workshop was in Collie st Fremantle. It is now the Chart and Map shop. This shop sits on 2 narrow blocks . Lorden was on the right hand one as you walk into the shop. The door on the right hand side. Took me a while to find it. I had the right street address but it would not fit in. Then a very nice lady in history section at the Town Hall said that is because the numbers in Collie St were reversed early in 1900. She produced an early town map and there it was. Lorden sold his dryblower for about 4 ounces of gold which is about what a good detector costs these days. As far as I can tell ( a work in progress) Steve Lorden was drowned in a boating accident on the Swan river in the mid twenties and left a wife and young family. Driller. [/QUOTE]
