Gold Prospecting Massive Gold. see GOLD REAPER

I don't suppose many of you have seen one of Australia's important nuggets. It is the largest surviving Australian nugget of the 19th century - the Maitland Bar (or Jubilee) Nugget (10.7 kg - 23.54lbs - 376 oz), found in 1887 near Mudgee, New South wales, east of Sydney. I don't think the Rotapan from www.rotapan.com could handle this baby. This nugget is kept in the NSW Govenment safe in Sydney, Australia.
Some of the other gold nuggets recorded from the same Hargraves area within EL 5952
Note - the current price of gold is in excess of Aust. $ 1500 per oz. , June 2010.

Other Nuggets found in the same area of Hargreaves NSW Australia is humungous- unfortunately the really really big ones were melted down and sold off.

WILL SHOW YOU HOW THE ROTAPAN WORKS

ROTAPAN

As I wrote before, I do not remain easily impressed. At 57, I have seen a lot of inventions, but none have matched yours. You appear to be a genius at heavy minerals concentration. As a school teacher (ex) I know everyone is gifted in varied areas. You have done it again. Congrates.

Please keep experimenting, my friend. Something else will come to mind.

Australia has always been a good friend of the US. We have always thought of you guys as brothers.

John,

I just admire my ROTAPAN that goes into the top of the 5 gallon bucket. I think it is the neatest 21st century heavy mineral concentrator the world has seen. It is especially useful out here in the desert.

As you say in your neat country,CHEERS, MATE. You must be one heck of a mechanical engineer. I never took physics in my university degree, but have lots of mathematics under my belt. Engineers like you make life fun. Thanks buddy.

[Einstien1879]

the people living on the streets of philippines are poor compared to first world lifestyles, however, the entire archipelago is a gold bed but if you dig deeper it is sitting on biggest oil deposits in the world ...reach the bottom and you will get deuterium...that is the philippines..poor outside/top but rich inside/beneath....: > )
