Thanks for the mainly positive comments guys, I'm not sure if drednought goes by a certain different username on another Oz based forum but I also put my video on there, and 1 particular poster has always complained on that forum exactly like the above, about my "inefficient pump", the "quick plank trick" and my videos in general and again always referring back to the G&S pump (sound familiar??). I didn't want to get in to anything on the other forum and just stated that Everyone can use Whatever they want to prospect with yet the following day I discovered I had been BANNED for 3 days, for what, defending my thread post without being disrespectful in the slightest? sounds fishy to me...
If someone wants to spend a couple of bucks on a DIY weekend project and get the satisfaction of making their own equipment, that's their own prerogative, but to belittle my efforts and equipment every time I post is just bordering on stupidity. If you don't like my posts or videos, then PLEASE don't watch them. I've had 99% positive comments on my videos that I've posted over the past year of prospecting and I'm not sure what "profile" you think I'm trying to raise. If you are referring to my youtube channel with it's whopping 300 subscribers and adverts which Youtube put on (not me) and which can be blocked with a simple browser ad-blocker (just like I do), I have NOTHING to gain from posting my videos other than the satisfaction that I know something I do is getting viewed around the world. I don't post on a lot of other threads as they are mainly Australis specific, whether it be laws, locations, equipment retailers etc, I can't exactly help with that can I?
I'm not trying to flog online overpriced pumps or any other equipment at all, nor recommending retailers etc. All I'm doing is trying to have some fun with fellow minded prospectors regardless of my/their location and encouraging people to just give making their own equipment a go with bits lying around if need be (it's drainpipe and a tennis ball, not exactly rocket science!) If they try and they don't think what they make will cut it in the field, then at least they know they've tried and if they then spend money on a commercial product, they will have something to directly compare it to and see if it was worth the money.
Once again, please, if you don't like my videos or posts, it's plainly that simple and easy to do.....
