[QUOTE="GaryO, post: 372895, member: 4018"] Most shops in NSW will take you around Hillend and usually to areas that have been hit pretty hard . I was taken to a place called "floogers" and when i got there it was like George St with people everywhere , so hence the name. The training was more about using the machine and how to detect properly and less about finding something. Because i was already experienced i just went through the machine settings and then went on a bit of a field trip around the other areas to learn a bit more about understanding the terrain and the way the old timers worked the reefs and ground. I didnt find any gold but learnt a lot on the day , i did use some of his tips the very next trip and found a piece on my first outing with the new 4500 . So overall use it as a learning experience rather than expecting to find something BUT if you do thats a big bonus :) [/QUOTE]
