turning professional prospector--
First topic message reminder :
Well trust me I haven't any inclination in carrying out such a feat.
There r a number of reasons why, let alone, u can work for 6 months of the year in a mining job as a FIFO
and earn an easy $150k per year without any expenses.
fuel doesn't come down in price so bank on about $2 per litre for fuel.
If u don't have a few good leases behind u then u will b pushing shite up hill to make ends meet let alone fall back on.
just because u can find gold doesn't necessary say that u will continually find gold. Its not like fishing were u can hit a spot and get a good haul of snapper or blue bone or whatever takes your culinary delight, once u remove gold it doesn't magically reappear. once its gone its gone, no more harry.
That's why a lot of eastern staters whinge coz all they find is fly shite --why coz they hammer the old spots day in day out.
if u haven't got a few pieces of basic machinery then its even harder to get good results.
set ya self up with a few thousand in the bank first and see how hard it really is.
To find good gold u need to pan --that's how the old timers done it and really nothing has changed especially if u r lookin for the leader. This method saves u a lot of time piss farting around and most importantly u must know when to call it quits..
all the best if u do venture into this profession..

It's possible that Bill and his good lady are O/seas at the mo on holiday. They might be back now, I'm not sure.

Re: turning professional prospector--
bloody hell--back in town again after a couple of hours on the tractor last night--blown hydraulic hose--
do breakdowns ever cease -- spare me lord I just need a good run for a week --
the Rio Tinto trains were working overtime last night --heard everyone every 45 minutes or there abouts. Even seen one set coming back with 4 locos on the front.
These things were meant to test us.
