This is an extract from Goulburn Mulwarre U3A Newsletter for September 2013.
The new U3A supported 'Special Interest Group of Prospecting and Fossicking Hobby enthusiasts,' has now been inaugurated with a few keen members and we will continue to grow as interest is shown by many other folk in our area to join. The group is developing, researching and planning interesting activities such as monthly field trips to local and interesting areas, especially historic gold fields and other historic sites to look coins, artifacts, treasure etc., and of course gold and other precious metals etc.,You would need to have your own transport or be able to co-opt with someone who has, supply your own tools, gear and refreshments. You will need protective clothing , be reasonably fit and be prepared to get down and dirty. A wonderful array of training material and learning opportunities will be made available for 'newbies' and a variety of folk of varying ages will be welcome to enjoy what is on offer.
