Thanks guys. Many more to come i'm sure. Cant wait to get to VIC next month then WA shortly thereafter.

Only had about 2 hours detecting. Picked up first small pieces of gold using SDC2300 for about 0.5 g with good response from these bits. The GPX5000 also picked up similar small pieces with a small coil. The SDC2300 does what it's designed for.

Hi ShineDiggityDo. Welcome to the forum and hope you make it to AUS. I've done a lot of research located 380 miles northeast just north of you - Sumpter, Oregon - of which if all goes well, planning on taking a visit in the near future.

Welcome to the forum BigRed.

Hi Parawaith. Welcome to the forum and good luck getting some gemstones. I'm also from Canberra and although I never had a chance to get out, can point you in the direction where to find some reasonably close to Canberra. Send me a PM once you reach 10 messages. Cheers

Howdy WW. Good luck and hope you find lots. If you want some areas near you (Snowy Mountains) give me a bell. Also give me a bell when you go over to the West. Heading to WA via VIC next month.

Hi Angie. Will be giving the SDC2300 (and GPX5000) a good whirl in a few weeks time in VIC. Went out locally to Shoalhaven River, but unable to access an area I really wanted to get on Monagarlowe River (north of Braidwood NSW) due to private and conservation areas. On one area of the Shoalhaven...

Hi Digall, I'm a recent newbie on this forum after browsing from time to time. We have an SDC2300 and keen to get out there very soon. Hi Tradesman, wish I could be doing the same thing. If you need any prospective areas in WA to detect, let me know and i'll scout around for you. Good luck...

Hi Lisa, Welcome to forum, I'm also a newbie on here after browsing from time to time. My business partner and I have a GPX5000 and SDC2300. I've heard some great things about the SDC2300 and can't wait to get them humming. Heading to VIC goldfields early March before a more permanent...

Hi Josey, I'll be heading to the VIC goldfields between Wedderburn and Maryborough through to Ararat on my way to WA. Looking like early March at this stage. I'll make a post once I have definitive dates and hope to catch up with others on this forum! Cheers

Hi HeadsUp. The XRF we used was Niton XL3t but not sure the exact model. We haven't done any scrape/detect or other surface mining as yet, this is exactly what we are initially intending on doing in the coming months. Our prospecting licences have historical (recent) exploration drill holes...

Thanks Simmo. Having some knowledge of geology will certainly be a bonus. Access to the XRF gun was unfortunately a once off specific for a recent field trip (iron ore). I have heard that XRF guns are no good for gold/silver (coming from experienced operators). Good for gold indicator minerals...

I am currently located in the Canberra region and soon moving to WA. In general been prospecting from time to time over the years but not in the last 10 years. I had a GPX Extreme not long after they come out. Only had a chance to go out a few times but had to end up selling it. Have the last 8...
