[@mikediavalo4727]

I wonder if they are lookin for gold to at the same time

[@Phoenix_Enterprises]

With just a few mods you could add a tensioner and end all that drama mate.

[@Phoenix_Enterprises]

Glad to see you guys recovering material from the old dumps. Hate to think of what was missed out there. Thanks for posting! Thanks for saving the material!

[@AndrewAHayes]

Anyone who thinks that is worth 150000 of any countries Dollar is living in a dream world, and 12k IMO is overpriced, however, getting machinery out into the outback bears a significant cost alone and that is why this is overpriced.

[@uddhavamaharaj2919]

That machine maybe worth 15k assuming it’s functioning decent

[@sprucesoldier]

No way that was 150K brand new….

[@erkkipappers5344]

Easily. Atleast adjusted for infaltion. Check prices for brand new 15 ton excavators. That might look simple and old compared to new technology but it was new technology and design back when it was sold new

[@Jameson4327]

My question is, if they are looking for opals how about gold? What’s the chance of finding a gold nugget.

[@izzzybriggzy7754]

Nah doesn’t seem to work like that, opal is all in Queensland golds out west

[@The3rdKizuki]

@@izzzybriggzy7754couldn’t be more wrong
