Introduce yourself

Hi, we are Pamela and Gerry and have come back to Queensland after spending the last 7/8 years in WA where we prospected in the goldfields for a few months each year. We are very keen to do some prospecting here in Queensland but dont really know where to start. We were hoping to get in touch with an organised group that could point us in the right direction. Thanking you for time and look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome Pamela and Gerry. Qld. is a big place. Hope you did well in W.A.

Hi to all, we are Colleen and Wayne from Darwin NT. We have lived in the territory for the last 25 years and are new to prospecting. We are interested in purchasing a new detector to take the family (two young childeren) away on new adventures but don't know where to go other than Margaret diggings and Spring Hill. Even with these mentioned places we are finding it difficult to obtain information on the pastoral lease holders to obtain permission. And advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys welcome aboard

As you mentioned Margaret diggings I was doing a bit of research on the area myself and started reading Trove for some info. As I continued reading towards the end of the notes there was a report about a Canadian girl that conducted electricity. It's quite bazare and I'm not sure if there's any truth to it, but at a guess if your were starving and ate multiple electric eels to survive who knows..
Anyway here's the link , there was some large nuggets pulled from that area
