Nice work mate, you should fill them crevices with water and suck them out. Bunnings sells a good little sucker in plumbing section that works a treat. Just need to put a hose on the end and cut the little grate inside end out. Only $13 it's called kinetic suction pump drain cleaner 👍
@SmokeyProspecting4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Kempy I’ll definitely have a look for that next time I’m in Bunnings. Maybe next time I get back there it’ll be cleaned out. Sharing is caring 👍

IWhats the pros and cons of Welly boots vs Flipflops? Because i imagine its not that cold there
@SmokeyProspecting3 жыл бұрын
Hi Owen, yeah it can get cool in winter so we like to wear them when it gets colder. We are a soft bunch when it comes to colder temps haha. 👍👍
@memine37043 жыл бұрын
Gumboots (welly boots) are a bit hot in summer compared to thongs (flipflops), but they offer a bit of protection against snakes (and sharp sticks on the sides). No metal in them, so a cut-down pair is also not bad for metal detecting in. P.S Yeah, Smokey is right, we're sooks when it comes to the cold lol.

i wonder if there is any gold still in the creeks around Woolooga/ Calgoa area, i was around there many years ago and found a few abandoned mines that had old stampers and boilers must have been some gold out of them for that kind of set up
@SmokeyProspecting4 жыл бұрын
Yeah that is a great sign the old timer set-ups. Most likely still plenty to be had.
