[QUOTE="Marauder, post: 360372, member: 6200"] Hi Guys, Went out on the Tour with Gold & Relics. Was good, not exactly as I expected. Had expected the big OCA 4WD, but there was only 3 people on the tour, so ended up having to take my car(actually the missus dualis), So if your going to go take the 4x4, so you don't get mud on the missus car :(. Basically we met our guide in Creswick, and followed him up to first site. Was an area that had been surfaced, and we had a bit of a swing with the supplied SDCs. Found not much. Brother in law spent about 2 hours digging a hole, for a piece of corrugated iron. After a spot of morning tea we headed into town to grab some lunch, and then we headed out to a different spot. This spot was more like what we usually hit, sparse bushland with shaft mines. Our Guide was very knowledgable, and he showed us a few tips for finding gold, and the brother in law found one small piece, and the other bloke, from New Zealand found two very small pieces. Me I found a 20c coin from 2006 and a great many ring pulls. I would recommend the tour to people who are allready interested, as it wasn't very touristy. Considering the price to hire an SDC for the day is about $90 anyway, the tour was quite good value, just for the experience for the beginer detector. [/QUOTE]
