New to prospecting

Hi Guys. My name is Jason. I have been living in cairns for 5 years now. I like to get out and explore and do some camping. Thought i would pick up a detector and try some prospecting. Have purchased a Garretts AT Gold. Have done some playing to learn how to use the detector and done a little bit of beach work. Have been trying to do as much research on what to look for when locating gold. Any tips and information would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome jason. There's a lot of members up there that can help you out.
