Hi from the third Australian settlement Toongabbie

[nuggethill]

Hi all I'm Harry Hill or nuggethill as I'm known in other sites I live in the Parramatta area , 

I do sluicing (pump feed high banker) and panning as well as detecting with a GPX5000 (GPX4500 back up)

so far I've worked and panned a few of the creeks around Mt George near Taree , the Peel river at Nundle , Hargraves/Windeyer gold fields

also detected many locations around the Golden Triangle and had a 60A in the Sandstone area in W.A.

thanks for letting me join the group

regards Harry

Always remember

to swing low and slow

and be safe

Passed Detectors: EDI 1500 , whites (can't remember the model) ,Minelab GT 1500 ,1700 , SD 2100 ,2200 , GP Extreme , GPX 4500

G'day Harry and welcome to the group.

There are plenty of 'mixed players' here who do a bit of sluicing and panning as well as some detecting.

The groups roots are in panning and sluicing as the name would suggest but with so many detector swingers we have diversified in recent years.

I tell you Harry that slug in your avatar has got me dribbling all over the desk

Cheers Ric

Thanks Ric I too started off panning and went to detectors in the early 80's then alternated between both

the glass tube with the black lid has over 1/2 an oz of panned gold every thing to the right is detected triangle gold

The avatar nugget belongs to my mate Ronny It's a 4.5 oz found in Kingower about 2 K south east of where the "Hand of Faith" nugget was found

G'day Harry & welcome to the forum. You've got a nice collection of gold there. Looks good.

[nuggethill]

Thanks Andy

I do have a lot of photo's of the gold nuggets my mates and I did collect over the years

also photo's of the sluice my son and I ran in a few different creeks around the state

I'll add these latter in the year
