Thanks Tathradj ran out of time to expore near the beach . But will be back and have a look around.

Just wanted to give a big shout out to the volunteers that run the montreal goldfields tours on the southcoast NSW. I visited this for the first time, although small the information the guide Peter gave me of the area was a eye opener and invited me back to expore with him some well known(but...

Nice work willo that's a great little find

Thanks, did enjoy the dig but having a beer and a yarn at the end of the day with the Ol' fella of the property made it all worth while.

After a bit of research, and beer persistence with a local farmer Got access to a section of the mighty snowy I came up with this for about 2hrs of digging and freezing cold water river sluicing. Loved every minute thou, think it's gonna cost me more beer :D

Loamer sounds like you had some great mentors there and the amount of great advise and knowledge you have shared onto this forum shows it as well as other fellow forum members and they know who there are.

I was thinking how'd I got into this prospecting thing and realise that it was probably my grandfather years ago when I was about 8 showing me his opal collection and was fascinated by them but have only now in my 40's really got into it. So interested to find out how you got into...

Thanks Wal, I was taken back by the size of some of the out crops & have noticed a few outcrops around the area. Also brought a bit home to crush & pan. I googled it and got "These quartz crystals have strong metaphysical properties. They encourage a large amount of light to encircle your body...

Hey guys sorry another rock inquiry, I was invited out to a friend's property up here the snowy mountains as they heard I'm getting in prospecting, they have numerous quartz outcrops some of the quartz is about 1 to 1.5m wide where breaking the surface I didn't get any yellow with the sdc but...

Thanks mbasko , I've detected here before and nothing then in one day 6 pieces of basalt setting the SDC off kept on thinking I'm on a winner could only imagine a scattered field of it :mad: but as mentioned persistence pays off ;) Hopefully :P

Thanks Meta will definitely be looking at the area a bit different now and plan to have a thorough walk around before detecting aimlessly.

Thanks Ozzieau that's great, will probably give'em a ring in advanced as planning to head into gold fields early morning to get most out of the day. Cheers Wolfau that's much appreciated , as mentioned wasn't sure of the ground in the area and was looking for an area more suited for an SDC and I...

Cheers Meta your a wealth of knowledge, the area has had a little working mainly a small creek at bottom of area thats been creviced and sluiced, also heard of an old mine within 1.5km on a run off creek within the area on private land :( . Most of the area is broken down quartz and I think red...

Cheers guys still new at the rock ID thing :P Yeah Silver have dolly a little up but didn't show anything will smash up the larger prices into smaller bits this arvo and have a look. Cheers mbasko for the info

Need some help identifying if this is ironstone?or just hot rocks, The sdc 2300 was going off over it, so I brought home about 4 large pieces largest about 25 cm to smash up, but couldn't find any signs of gold. Cheers Buzz

I'm traveling through VIC Soon from snowy mountains NSW to melbourne and have a spare day and was wanting to stop in the GT for a day, any recommendations on the better areas to detect with a SDC 2300? I've never been in the area before so not sure of terrain and ground cover. Cheers

Yeah one movie that brought tears to my eyes in many ways :P

How'd you get the beans above the frank? Something about Mary Say hello to my little friend - scarface Surely you can't be serious. I am serious and don't call me Shirley - airplane

For the price they will be asking I really hope ML has thoroughly tested its practicality before release and thought about the user, the SDC2300 seamed a little rushed to be released and its little cons are showing like speaker problem, armrest and not being able to retrieve a target with the...

Now we Will have to look out for old mine shafts and gpz7000 holes when walking around the scrub :P
