Hi
Thanks to much info and help gleaned from forum and members, I had my first prospecting trip ever.
Went to Hill End - Tambaroora last month.
Camped at the Village park in Hill End.
No Gold
2 horseshoes
enough rusty nails to build new house
Plenty of lead.
I dug everything. filled my holes and have sore back to prove it.
new sdc2300 seemed to perform perfectly.
It was quiet and when it hit something it buzzed so I guess it is working ok.
I was there for 4 days and only saw a couple of people panning.
I was the only detectorist. Well I didn't see anyone else.
Could not believe how much digging those guys did back in the rush days. The place was barren.
Two weeks I go to wattle flat for the training day that comes with the sdc.
Will stay overnight and try my hand at Sofala.
Thanks to everyone who offered me advice and help.
I would have been lost without it.
Would have posted earlier - got the flu when I got home and then away for work.
Cheers
NM
