We have a great final meet scheduled this month 1) SA Gold Digger will be bringing along his XRF machine, so if you would like some precious metals tested bring them along 2) Anonmiss is our local geologist(not certified, buts very knowledgable) so if you would like your jewellery or gems inspected bring them along 3) Mystery Auction (Pinkmanwhite is bringing some goodies along...that will be revealed on the night). If you would like to add items to the mystery auction, just place a post on this thread...indicating that your bringing items along. Not even I will know what's being auctioned, so if you could bring along your own schedule of items that would be appreciate. At last months meet we managed to raise some beverage funds from the "Old Gold" auction, so it looks like we have enough funds to cover the first round....members that attended last month have first dibs If interested in attending, please advise if your bringing a friend / partner ( me + 1 ) solely required to ensure venue provide adequate seating. Also, if attending for the first time, send me a pm for venue details. Meets start at 6.15 pm sharp with a meet and greet 6.30 order dinner for those eating 7.15 XRF testing 7.45 mystery auction 9.00 meet ends Please note that above times are only a guide Looking forward to catching up with everyone again PS: If seeking anything in particular (precious metal related) or looking to sell any fixed price items simply place a post on this thread.
That is right argento. Pinkman White brings you a mystery auction filled with silver. On my most recent visit to the vault, I found all sorts of strange bars and coins which ALL will be auctioned off. There were some coins with buffaloes on it, sunshine mint bars and eagles, palm trees, skull & cross bones... who knows what they are! No information to what the products are will be revealed until the auction itself. All I can tell you is the products are 99.9% silver (to be XRF verified on the night). The majority of the items are in capsules. This stock has not been moved since late 2008, so it remains a mystery to what the products are!
Just had a re-read of my opening post and realized that its not geology that has been emptying my bank account......its anonmiss's passion for gemology ......So it should have read Anonmiss is our local gemologist Also some of you may not be aware that Alex is tying the knot very soon , I believe this may be his last meet as a free man. I volunteer Gold Digger to organize the entertainment....hand cuffs, ball and chain ...Danman leaping out of cake....just a few ideas
Is that a low fat cake? Hate to put on the pounds whilst wearing my itsy bitsy bikini....... Might pop out of it not just the cake!!!!!! Boy are you going to need that first round of drinks Mr P

Have missed too many of these meets this year, so will make a special effort to get to the last one for the year. Hope everyone I havent seen with for a while is healthy and happy! Look forward to catching up.
Hello Again All, Just over a week to go and numbers are looking very promising for our final meet for this year. Keep the items coming for the auction.
Hi, Im a newbie stacker and will be coming alone this sunday! Cheers! P.s. Thanks to argento for the pm! Tristan!
Its great to see we have a few new members joining us this week. You will be amongst good company Current numbers for the meet so far : 20 plus I'm still waiting for a few more replies, so 30 may not be out of the question. For those that haven't replied, I will be finalizing seating arrangements with the venue on Saturday so if you could be kind enough to either send me a pm or post on this thread that would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to catching up with you all this Sunday. PS: if adding items to this weeks auction, please list them by saturday PSS: Don't forget that Gold Digger is bringing his XRF machine My auction list: 1) 9 x 1oz coloured Perth Mint Dragon Set (reserve $725) 2) 2002 and 2003 1/2oz kookaburra proof (reserve $50) 3) 2013 Perth Mint Proof Snake COA#70 (reserve $80)
I will be there plus 1 friend. I will have a full set of Maple leafs (all nice and shiny and spot free) up for sale including - - All 26 years individual maple leafs (1988 to 2013) - 1999/2000 millennium privy maple leaf - 2008,2009,2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics special maple leafs. Total set is 30 oz and will only be selling as one set. To get full set these days is hard work, especially the lower mintage maple leafs such as 1997,1996 and 1995 And 1992 which carry high premiums. Only place I know you can get the majority (not all) of these is Apmex, so my pricing will be set at Apmex prices converted to AUD less an overall discount. Out if the 30 coins, 8 have a mintage of less than 500,000 and the lowest mintages are the 2010 winter olympic coin at around 79,278 and the 1997 maple leaf at 100,970. I will bring along one set however if more people are interested please PM me before the meet and I can bring along another set. See everyone there. Cheers, andsing56
Oh, and if anyone has some spare 38mm capsules (for maple leafs and canadian wildlife coins) please bring them along, I need 30 or so. Thanks, andsing56
