Hi everyone

I'm from the Newcastle area and im new to gold prospecting . I want to do some gold detecting/camping somewhere in nsw in a week or so if the weather permits
I have no experience but I got Doug Stones gold atlas of nsw and a minelab gpz7000, but I'm not too sure how far that will get me lol
But I'm keen to try and have no expectations but have a good time and maybe meet some "fellow prospectors " along the way and make new friends
I'm set up for off road/grid camping with solar power, hema hx maps, cb etc so I could get there and stay there with everything staying nice and cool.... I'm guessing that's got to be one of the golden rules of prospecting?
So excited to get out there !

Welcome to the forum started when I was 12 but don't limit yourself to just detecting river and creek panning is just as rewarding and exciting
