[QUOTE="UnderEmployedGeo, post: 590119, member: 20002"] So I've managed to swing the day off so I'll be swinging my detector for the first time - going to head for the Blackwood area or maybe Daylesford (Vic)! I've copied this from another post in case anyone missed it: I am a geologist and used to work in gold exploration in WA. I now live near the golden triangle in Vic. I am new to prospecting. Someone said they'd be interested in doing some goldfields with a geo. Not sure I would have much insight but I do know about gold and how it gets to where it is (not a massive PhD expert but yeah...) So I'm planning on going detecting, panning perhaps too, and would love someone to help me out with some spots or suggestions to get started. In return, I might be able to help expand the understanding of the field which might help in finding new spots. No guarantees (this is gold, after all). In case you're sceptical - in the WA goldfields, some massive finds have come from the combination of prospector knowledge (which can be hugely important) and geological technical stuff. Also a lot of luck has helped haha PS happy to take private messages by the way [/QUOTE]
