Hi All
My 16 year old son started me off on the gold hunt when he wanted to go panning,then wanted a river sluice,then we turned it into a high banker, that became to much work.
He wanted a detector, so I got him a SD2000 and I got hooked and bought a 4500.
Now he is 18 and left the lot for me.
So I am hooked, sitting around the camp fire in the GT listening to the radio with a quite beer, the gold is a bonus.
I have been been detecting for about two years, only found three small pieces in the first year with an advantage coil, upgraded to the Evolution 17 x 13 when it first came out and have found twenty small nuggets since.
Bought the Elite 14 x 9 last week from Maryborough Gold Centre and found a .25 piece within a hour and 20 shot gun pellets.
Thank you for the replies, Anthony
