Ian has expertise in electronics so he may have come up with a new
prospecting device. Can some one still stake a mining claim in Oz?
Paul Lamar
Yes, Ian is very talented in electronics. The gold they have found is
alluvial gold buried in dry river washes, flood plains etc, usually
about 1-2 feet down; and all one needs is a license, called a ‘Miner’s
Right’. Usually bought at designated post offices.
Mining claims can still made, but they require a bit of surveying these
days, though GPS has made that a lot easier.

Seems a bush plane could be handy. Something like a super cub with fowler
flaps and with a rotary engine. A high power to weight ratio rotary can get
you out of real short runways. Put the fowler flaps all the way down for
take off.
Imagine a super cub with 500 HP and an engine that weighs no
more than a 160 HP aircraft engine.
I am surprised the Alaska guys have not discovered that yet.
