My names John , new at getting out and about after a bit of gold .. but the great outdoors brings so many pleasures and it gives me the chance to get out and about with my 2 boys Jack and Joel hence JJJ Gold.

The homes in Sydney, but the works in WA outback, guess the goldfever started years ago as a dream but doing a bit of work at a gold mine a couple of years ago in WA has got the chase for a bit of our own gold.

My son Jack I think hit the nail on the head after our first trip away a few months ago when he said "This is just like winning on the pokies every time you get a bit of gold out of the pan"

Been always thinking of a detector for years and just got my first one .. A Minelab SDC2300 to get out there and see whats about.

I want to thank all you guys that contribute to the forum, you guys have a wealth of knowledge and we luv hearing what you have to say and learning so much on your quest for a bit of the gold stuff.

See ya all in the Great Outdoors

Regards

John
Jack
Joel

G'day JJJ Gold welcome to the forum you and your boys will have a ball with the 2300 :Y: it's a good machine to start with. When your in shallow ground with gold about the 2300 shines mind you you'll also dig plenty of shot and other fuggets.
