We are wondering about taking a mine detecting tour in Victoria. Has anyone participated in these and if so was it worthwhile? We are about to purchase a Minelab 5000 and thought it might be a good introduction to gold detecting and a great way to spend a few days in Victorian bush....?

Hi all been doing some research and not 100% on what detector I should buy. I currently have a tianjin Chinese made one but it isn't strong enough to pick up anything decent. Would the gold monster 1000 be a good start ? Cheers stuey
