miller table is the best for cleaning up your tailings
got a home made miller table and it works ok but still misses the really fine flour. blue bowl better for picking that up but a lot slower
I just bring the bucket of wash home fill up the wheel barrow grab a stool and wash it with the pan sitting beside the barrow.
it was imported from USA my miller table and it works
I think its winter time. went for a play today nice and fine on the coast but snow on the edge of the creek and ice in the puddles on the road. ā¦short day but got some colour.

Well I just pretend that it is still summer by telling myself that the white stuff all over my lawn and backyard is seagull poop that twenty million migrating seagulls rained down when they passed over in the middle of the night and that its cold because someone left the freezer door openā¦sad to say it but summer appears to have gone but its due back about October!

You can always defer your trip home and then make use of our summer and go home toward next winter. I am like that - compulsive - last year I paid for three airline tickets and never went - I either travelled a week or two early on another flight or deferred it till later because I was having a good time. Be daringā¦be impulsive. I am sure that you have made lots of friends with whom you can stay.
When the winter is really here then you can go see the museums like in Dunedin here - there are two good ones here. And its criminal not to see Arrowtown - Clyde has two or three great museums as well. Do some tripping and see some of our wonders while metal detecting between timesā¦why go home?

You might want to have a break in Australia. Though you may need to get a prospecting licence (~$100).
Coromandel might also be worth a look around, depending on the weather.
Pleanty of parks and beaches further north.

Thatās so kind of you. Give me your address and Iāll dump the loot in your mailbox before leaving 
Wish I could, but will run out of money before next summer, Iām not that tight lol 
Then my visa expires in November, so yeah. Guess I could extend it, but money still is a problem. Will try to find a job as soon as it gets too cold for panning, try to save a bit of money 
Will visit as many museums as possible, already been to the Lake District Museum in Arrowtown, it was just AMAZING!
If onlyā¦ But, hey, great idea for next NZ trip! Thanks 
Maybe next trip lol Guess I have to survive winter here somehow, hibernation could that work? 
Flights to Australia are cheap, and you might get some work there, look into that.
Nelson is a good place to winter over, still cold, but they get the most sun of anywhere, and thereās gold
