Hi there, thanks for having me! Left the army following many years in the service, have lived in Daylesford before now finding ourselves in Ballarat. Interested in detecting and bought some maps and Minelab Goldmonster 1000! We had a bit of fun finding bottle tops, nails spent cartridges and lead bottle wraps last weekend in the Creswick State Forest lol. Also filling in other peoples holes. Taking it up as a hobby really, wanting to learn how to read the country. If we find any gold thats a bonus!

Thanks mate! Any luck with the monster as yet? Id eventually like to buy a more expensive detector but you gotta start somewhere. Dont wanna outlay all that cash and get nothing. It seems from what Ive read to be a decent beginners one, so well see. I dont think we will be pulling up the big nuggets ha ha.Jmoilz90 said:
Ha ha yup I think were going to go into the aluminium smelting business! We have to learn how to use it first, but hopefully we can find something. What would you suggest would be the next step on from the monster?Ded Driver said:goodaye Greg & welcome to PA

You have certainly earnt retirement Greg. Plenty of research and the nuggs will be easier to locate, from the monster Id go up to the GP 3500 all knobs and switches no digital at all, If funds are no problem then the GPZ 7000. Plenty of choices and options after the monster. Best of luck too you mate. :Y:Greg4427 said:Hey thanks pinfire! I had the best time, miss it, but wouldnt go back ha ha.

G'day Greg and welcome,
We are newbies as well and trying to learn all we can at the moment.
Will be camping at Creswick this weekend to try our luck. Pop in and say G'day if you 're in the area.
Cheers
Rob and Kim
