[QUOTE="Goldtalk Leonora, post: 582533, member: 5638"] if you can already use tengraph then your half way there! I wouldn/t worry too much about WAMEX reports when your starting out.....I would recommend you use tengraph to work out where gold has prob been and then play the 'what if' game of where could it still be hiding. So....dead tenements on tengraph will give you the best clues of where it's been.....it sounds like you know how to do that already. Remember that people are not good explorers anymore and rarely stray far from their patches (generalisation of course)....so take their old tenements and by working out the topography you work away from the area into areas where the gold 'may' have gone. Thats the basics of what I teach....a lot more to it of course but nothing really complicated. Things like geo maps are fine but your about 15 years too late mate. There are some programes at you can buy that 'rate' your chances in a given area....what a rip off. Like I said...start in the right areas and then know HOW to work those areas methodically is going to be the key to success.There is always going to be an element of dumb arse luck as well....but you cant control that. For what it's worth...asking the question of 'how can I do better'....is the smartest question you can ask in this game. None of us have time left on planet Earth to swing a detector everywhere...so we need to make choices and work the ground the right way. Does it take the fun out of the hobby?...your call...but I know I have more fun when I bring home gold than when I don't!. Hope thats of some help to you. Just wanted to add....I would still recommend doing any training course out there. I've had people with 20years plus experience doing our course and they have always picked something up. Sometimes, all you need is to pick up one little point and it's enough to make the penny drop. [/QUOTE]
