⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

I can only imagine how good it would be just to have a 7000 let alone getting onto the goldfields first with it. It would have been like shooting fish in a barrel. Probably wouldnt appreciate the gold as much as the hard earned stuff.


Sadly i wont be in any position to buy one for a bloody long time :/

Stupid bloody horses getting in the way of a real hobby

Although it must be said that you're finding more gold than most on the forum and horses can get to ground that many 4wds cannot...........so, imho, you could be doing it a lot tougher layful:

Dont worry devon prices will peak and you can trade the horse in on a 7000 , but honestly i think you dont need one :Y:

Nothing Great, if you know nothing of geology then you are starting from 'behind the eight ball'. Rectify that situation to give yourself half a chance.

It would be simple if finding gold just required buying the best detector but that is not the case, the best prospector I know uses a 4000.

I am doing my best to learn. If you have any suggestions on books etc that would help that would be terrific.

Nothing Great, not sure where you are but recommend 'Introducing Victorian Geology' GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA (VICTORIAN DIVISION)
there may be other versions for other states. Excellent reference book for a good grounding.
Magilla, nothing wrong with the 4000. That and the QED are my detectors of choice.

Thanks heaps Reg
I will grab a copy asap Cheers.

Christened my not so new (got it in Feb) ZED

Been trying to get some SA gold here in my home state since 2016 so I am a happy prospecter :goldnugget: :Y: ickshovel:

Great job LORD. Yes there's still a bit of gold there. We stopped in for an overnighter a few years back and came away with a few little ones from Jupiter Creek. We came across another patch right near the NSW border that looked like it needed a bit of attention but I can't remember the name of the place. Perhaps we'll get a look next year on our way to QLD if we take that road.

Well done fellas ....... nice gold!

After one of the worst days of my life today-we lost our foal this morning which had to be put down due to defects-I took the young fella out for a swing and we picked up this little piece. Put some sort of smile on our faces at least.

Oh NG
My heartfelt sorrow for your loss, I know your deep pain and feel your grief.
Lots of love to you and yours.
