  1. Eric it is a dream adventure/trip and take it as such. If you forget the gains that maybe found it is worth it, a cheap ship cruise is about is about $2000 to $5000 a week for 2 people with no return from luck or skill except on the pokies and cards. Just one thing I had all the historical mines locations and extensive GPS use and Knowledge before I went to West Aust in 2003 when I retired. A lot of local Pro. gold prospectors were asking me for gps location of certain mines which I help them locate. I found many unknown spots but someone else had been in the area. There was a few lucky ones that got most of the gold and fortunately a few unlucky ones that missed the gold that made my efforts more than paid off..
  2. If the hole is too big for the little pick, it is worth while going a mile or two to get the big pick. ☺️
  3. I only made one claim in Victoria for detecting. Vic rules were easy back then. I would not make another claim anywhere for detecting alone, as every one else knows where it is as JP said and to work the claim by hand had to have 200 Lt of water for fire protection if I had my vehicle parked on it. At one time we had a Miner Right a lot of that has gone. https://www.eurekapedia.org/Miner's_Right https://vhd.heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/places/13628/download-report
  4. Some smart prospector that give a lot of help go quiet when their spot is being discussed. But smarter prospector are aware of this. So be careful. 🀣
  5. Finding something rare is great because you have beaten the odds
  6. Like all us gold prospector, we fill in our holes but your would be a little bit bigger.πŸ˜€
  7. The gold is too small when you don't feel good after helping it escape the soil that imprison it.
  8. The coin in the slot on shopping trollies is coming back in Aus.
  9. Consider your tolerance of the cold nights and being look in after a rain event. I used a 4 wheel caravan and found assess to near location was not a problem.
  10. I have had just that sort of experience/luck well worth the the time checking them out.
  11. Your Grandfather is correct, but I use angle grinder with quick touches and into water and keep repeating till job is done.
  12. Did anyone make one of these way back when. 1955 Two Metal Detector Schematics_s_vs5.0_001.pdf
  13. Adult witness to the event would be hard to find as they would be at a minimum of 84 years old and most likely have poor memory, died or moved away. So I'm got high hopes for Jacob. πŸ˜€
