[QUOTE="Bontje, post: 631492, member: 22461"] Hello all, I am pretty new to metal detecting and am planning a camping trip (a long weekend after Australia Day) and gathering in these days my first gold detecting experience with the Equinox 800 (5x10 Coiltek). I have already spoken to several experienced detectorists and gold detecting in general, but in SA, in particular, will not be easy (equipment + lack of experience). Nevertheless, I give it a go : ) and I selected some places I'd like (and not far from Adelaide) to go but depends on whether Fire Ban restrictions are in place. [b]Option 1[/b] Mt Crawford (Watts Gully etc.) and maybe make a day trip to Chapel Hill. [u]Does anyone have any comments / alternative ideas?[/u] If option 1 fails due to a Total Fire Ban. [b]Option 2[/b] Because of the Fire Ban, I want to try a bit north of Adelaide. No further than Burra SA, as I don't want to drive excessively far for the first time. I did some reading / checked SARIG and the area East from Burra looks interesting but due to private land etc. difficult access. [u]Does anyone have any tips about this particular SA northern region and hopefully tips to more accessible land?[/u] Happy to camp in the region as well : ) Thanks and greetings from Adelaide.
