Hello all. Len from Craigieburn

[bull]

Gidday everybody, my former user name here was StinkyPete.
I prospect mainly around the Eldorado Vic, area using a Trommel I made from scratch with a bit of help from some mates, i love finding all that fine gold on offer there and the extra bonus of a small nugget or two and also the broard range of gem stones to be had there.
I have purchased a blue bowl for clean ups some time ago, I have finally got that right, I found I only have to screen it once using a #50 mesh, then pan out the bigger stuff, then at half speed with the blue bowl I am getting atleast 97% to 99% of pure clean gold from it.
I am an avid trout fisherman, love visiting the Latrobe river Noojee Vic, where I was brought up.
I am now interested in cutting and polishing my Saphires, Topaz, Jasper, Smoky Quautz, My partners dad has given me his old cutting and polishing machines, just needs a little spruce up then practice, practice and practice with the odd help from good old youtubers.
Looking forward to chatting with you all and sharing of knowledge and locations.
Cheers

[Andy]
