Newbie from Sydney

[joe]

Hi all,
My names obviously Joe. I'm a builder/developer from Sydney and a bit of an entrepreneur. I've always been interested in prospecting but more on the large scale earth moving side of things (looking at staking a claim in the not so distant future - hopefully), but I of all people know you have to learn to crawl before you can walk (even though my mother says i started walking before i started crawling).

I've done a bit of research on areas to go, what to look out for and how to read the land. As a builder I've done a lot of digging, I've got a crap load of tools and I've spent more time at the end of a shovel than I would have liked! Hopefully it will pay off one day. I can operate an excavator too which may come in handy.

There is literally tonnes of material on here for anyone interested and i applaud you guys for your determination and for sharing your knowledge. I hope to return the favor as my knowledge and experience grows. if i ever stake a claim i definitely know where to start looking for budding gold miners!

Well thats my intro - i hope to see you guys out there on the field! and please excuse my newbie questions, i'm sure i'll have plenty.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Joe, welcome
the only silly question is the one not asked.
your right about the no shortageof people here who can help you mate.
enjoy the forum and ask away

i always find a way to ask the silly ones.. it helps me develop my insane theories.

so far im looking to find all my material separating gear, i was thinking of building a sluice that fed into a highbanker which then feeds into a concentrator. my only foreseeable issue is removing water flow between each system as well as getting the proper size material moving to each. i guess ill have to figure that out when testing it.
