Hi there, So many amazing finds in the forum. My boys have become fossil crazy and am wondering if there are any good locations near Sydney to find fossils, coral, petrified wood that you can recommend for day trips? Thanks Ren

Hey guys would like to see your high bankers in action and if you guys like to combine it with my hand driven pump just because I read that there are fossicking areas which don't allow powered tools ( Just to see if this an option) Greetings Marco ( Renatas husband)

Can anyone here recommend spots to find Gold near Oberon that you can camp near? My husband plans to go next week and sleep in his car. I've found Native Dog creek but the reviews lately haven't been good. Should he drive closer to Bathurst? He's just made a gold pump and wants to try it.

Thanks for everyones help. We're probably try Billabong Blue but was wondering about any free spots camping around Inverell with good access to sapphires

Thanks for everyone's help this forum is excellent. We're looking into a second hand SDC 2300 for $3000 although I understand people do this as a hobby. We hope we can at least pay off the detector in the first year with gold finds.. Although I believe theres not many goldfields near Sydney. Are...

We'll be in Gympie April 21st-28th driving all the way from Sydney. Would like to meet people going around then. Yopskin can you tell us some good places to start? Is there any where we can hire a metal detector?

My husband is obsessed with Minelab SDC2300 but if we put it on our credit card how can we recoup the expense? However spending $1000 can also be as a waste of money if no gold is found

Hi Heatho Thanks so much for your detailed response. We are leaning towards the Makro Gold Racer although are dreaming about the Minelab SDC2300. As such an expense would have to be justified and be sure we make a return. At the moment this will start as a hobby.. Have people found anything good...
