    I was wondering who attacked that throw out pile haha. Good to see it produced. Seen you heading out with the mixer not too long ago. The "gold magnet" said they aren't actually Chinese diggings but who knows. I love that spot. I'm in the blue navara with ladders on the roof. You don't happen to be a traffic control worker are you? 😂

      I wouldn’t question the gold magnets knowledge but from detecting around the hut sites we’ve found plenty of evidence of the Chinese working there 🤷‍♂️ I’ll keep an eye out for the blue nav I know 1 lives around the corner with ladders on it might be you, I’m just a local delivery driver mate don’t think I could stand in one spot all day holding a sign 🤙

      Yeah that's me man 👍🏻 Thought I've seen you come past a few times. I always thought freds was Chinese until I seen Travs comments the other day.. I've just finished my trommel, I'm about to hit a throw out pile myself hopefully it pays, In the past I've found a lot of blue decorative ceramic pieces up bulldog road. Heaps to check out up there. Hopefully see you out there one day man. Keep the content coming! 👍🏻👍🏻

    I’m still waiting for you to come up with a way to covert a cement truck into one, and it needs to be loaded by an excavator 🤣

    This is really cool, I just don’t understand how the gold is getting out of the cement mixer and into the sluice.

      @Gippslandgolddigga  7 місяців тому +1

      Thanks mate, only a little bit falls out while I’m over feeding it then when I’ve had enough time shoveling I remove the basket and slowly tip the cons down the sluice

    Nice set up! The mixer looks like the one sold on line by Edison's if I'm not mistaken.
    The thing about using a mixer is that you can also convert it into a ball mill if you have quartz rock to break down. My plan is to use Bocce balls, you can buy a set cheaply from K-mart. Just a thought!

      G’day mark thanks for your comment, I’m not sure where the mixer came from other than ebay. I didn’t think bocce balls would be heavy enough to smash quartz if they are let me know 👍

      @@Gippslandgolddigga You can always weaken the quartz by cooking it over a fire and then run it through the ball mill.

    Did u get anything from the runoff or was it all left in the mixer ?

    • @Gippslandgolddigga

      All in the mixer surprisingly I thought some would escape but we done a lot of testing and only a couple of fly poos made it into the sluice while shoveling
