Thanks HTY appreciate the offer but I am looking for natural nugget. Maybe when I get there in December we could go out in the field and see what we find. Cheers, goldustman - Mike from Canada

Hi Dave and all, I can remember my Dad telling me that no matter how you cook your fish, it's usually 10 minutes per inch of flesh. This cooking time refers to the thickness portion of the fish...like the idea of oranges but I prefer to use lemon slices and dill + spices but I WILL definitely...

Thank you both Very kind of you to say. goldustman-Mike

To all members, At the advice of a fellow member, I am seeking to buy a nugget between . 5 grams up to 1 gram in weight. If anyone has one they would like to sell, please PM me and I'll get right back to you. Thank you, goldustman - Mike Location: Toronto, Canada (new member)

Great find...wow! Must be pleased. -goldustman

Is there anyone in our Forum who detects in the West-North-West Victoria region? I'm thinking Ballarat, Castlemaine,etc. Still studying the area and equipping myself with as much knowledge as I can. A lot to know for sure, but I'm game and up for it. I'm planning my trip to the Melbourne area...

A question and yes WalnLiz , love the vids on YouTube. Itching to get out there. Can someone suggest a better coil for the Eureka Gold? Thanks and cheers, goldustman

Cheers all, I've decided on the Eureka Gold from an Authorized dealer, here in Toronto. The price is right - just worried that it won't have the depth range. All you fellas seem to swing the GPX 5000 so I'd have to work up to that. Guess I'll have to make more than one trip to Oz. Should I be...

Thanks for the advice and counsel - I know the market is flooded with imitations and inferior electronics where detectors are concerned. I shall tread carefully and follow your suggestions. -goldustman

This may sound like an odd question but aren't Minelab detectors built in Australia? I thought the technology originated there for the very thing that you fellas do. Has manufacturing/assembly moved to China? The reason I ask is that I am looking at a GPX 4500 and the selling price is $1350.00...

To Mystyk & all Hey Bill, I've been looking around and I think the GPX 4500 is the detector for me. I can practice locally with it all this Summer and Fall so I won't be a 100%, "gold-plated" newbie when I arrive in 2014. I hope you and the others will do very well this year and as for me...

Thank you Bill...I am really looking forward to being in Australia. Everyone I've met in this forum has been very helpful, so you are right. If we're newbies that just means we're enthusiastic and will have determination and patience in the field, besides, learning is fun and I can't think of a...

Thank you for the warm welcome Dozer and WainLz. I will need good advice on a LOT of topics and look forward to it all. Australia for me has always been a need-to-see destination point; learning about the people, seeing the land. I will keep you all posted as to my progress. Thank you again...

Nugget, John, Bill and 'the duck', Thank you for the warm welcome and the offers to take me into the field. Bill -I have been looking at the Minelab Series of detectors but the GPX 5000 is way out of my price range. $5795 here in Canada then tax at 13%...too pricy for me. Was thinking about...

Nugget, I'm from Canada and your post is good news to me. Since my trip there is still a year away, I still have lots of research to do and preparation. Apart from the detecting, I've always wanted to visit Australia, as the continent is diverse topographically. I will contact you again soon and...

I'm new here to this site and I am planning on travelling to Australia to prospect for gold with a metal detector in 2014. I plan on staying a minimum of 3 months (Melbourne area) and I guess what I'm asking is this, who could "guide me through the field" once I'm set up and ready to detect? I...
