Greetings everyone,
I joined the forum 3 or 4 months back but got sidetracked reading the wealth of Knowledgeable info members have posted on this site, such a great forum!
Last year i randomly came across & got stuck into downloading tv series like Bering sea gold, gold rush alaska, gold fever etc & caught the bug - then bought my first detector in december..
The 705 gold pack. Used it over a lot of ground in the GT in prospecting mode over a couple months had me doing my head in.. bloody hot rocks!
I soon learnt i was using the wrong detector & bought a 4500 a few months ago, slowly learning how to get the best out of it.
My good mate NeoGeo, also a member on this forum has been instrumental in helping me learn my way around goldfields and geology - cant thank u enough mate.
Got my first LiL nugget a few weeks ago up around weddurburn, i yeeha'd pretty loud finally seeing my first colour after diggin a boat load of holes n bullets .18 of a gram! Gotta love that First nugget feelin!
Havnt had as much time as id like to go swingin for gold lately but im glad i hung onto the 705 Ive been hitting a few local parks and places in my area recently, found some interesting coins/relics which ive also developed the bug for 8.(
Hope to be able to contribute back to the forum in some way soon.
Cheers all,
Craig
