24.01.2022 Putting the finishing touches on my premium paydirt for the Reeds Prospecting Open this Saturday. There is only 500 scoops of this top shelf paydirt on the day so don't miss out. Find sparkly Garnets, tourmaline, mica(s), and if that don't wet your Apatite, there is also feldspar, ilmenite, cassiterite, magnetite, dollypotite and 2 types of gold; but it's all leaverite.... so I can make it better for next time

24.01.2022 Had a fantastic day at Mt Cara with Stewart and Allyson finding forgotten Western Australian history and even a bit of gold.... We swept up the rain concentrated surface clay in the small open cut... after the 34mm downpour that Donnybrook had this week. Come and buy something from my table at the Reeds Prospecting Open day on March 7 for your chance to win a few kg of this rain-sluiced unsearched Donnybrook paydirt.

22.01.2022 A beautiful day at the Old Goldfield. I even managed to squeeze in a pan or two after my booking and before getting back to Bridgetown for school pickup

20.01.2022 There was no stopping our latest explorers at Donnybrook Gold... who found some nice colour whilst helping dig out a footpath up to the gold reef on top of Mt Cara.

18.01.2022 For these lucky three, the working week started at Donnybrook Gold with a personalised trek around the historic goldfield. After 3 hours my work was done; but theirs had just started. I hope you guys panned plenty of golden joy from those buckets of mud

17.01.2022 The help out day on Saturday was a blast and we got a lot done on Mt Cara, thanks guys. Also a big thank you to owners Roy and Jenny who fed our latest team of gold hungry prospectors. Coffee and cake and gold... what else is there?

17.01.2022 Gold Everywhere... After exhaustive onsite testing with some new equipment, I've found the best aggregate size for making the nonslip footpath to the top of Mt Cara... with the safety bonus of also removing some heavy metals... Why not come and help out on the 8th and 15th of August and help bring Donnybrook's gold rush back to life. $50pp, help out for 3 hrs and play for 3hrs.... places are limited. ...

15.01.2022 So the real journey begins for Donnybrook Gold and Lithium Valley Rocks. From the first rock untill the treasure, every bit is just as heavy! Because it's taken 3 years of hard diggin to create my paydirt, I cannot sell it. Instead, I can share my experience and joy. Tommorow at Reeds Prospecting I will have a limited number of specimens and other products for sale at my table. ... I have explored our historic workings and found the miner's chook bin tasting the discarded delights from the feast of discovery had by the pioneers of Greenbushes and Donnybrook. Those very delights are contained within these bags of premium paydirt... ALL OF IT. I am striving to create an authentic prospecting experience that reveals the truth of nature's bounty here in the Southwest. To be hidden in the paydirt during the day are these 3 items; Two brass nuts and a QLD Sapphire. The small nut wins the pan from Donnybrook; which will give a dandy show for the skilful. And the large nut wins the dreggs pan from the mixing of the Greenbushes mix... revealing how in the day, it verged on a rush of unseen proportion. ... pans included. The sapphire, well, finders keepers. Authentic Greenbushes and Donnybrook Prospecting Heritage in a pan. $10 a go. Start your own Southwest Gold Rush at Reeds Prospecting Open -day, Tomorrow Sat 7th March. And what do I say to the old addage; "you find gold when you look for it!". It's our gold rush. See you there Andrew

02.01.2022 Reeds Prospecting's open day was a blast. I got to use a small impact mill to crush and pan some pretty rich quartz and ironstone gold ore. More gold than I've ever panned before. I think the bag said 4oz/tonne... but Aaron, I'm not sure what happened to the rest of the bag

01.01.2022 They say there is gold in them thar hills, and well may that be so; but compared to parental gratitude, gold is but shiny dirt Thanks for an awesome day guys and happy hours of panning fun
