Hi, Ive been lurking here for a few months and thought its time I should introduce myself.
A few things about me :
I chose Thatsgold as my username as Im a rugby league fan. Its a term they use on the NRL Footy Show. I go for the Cronulla Sharks !
I live in Orange NSW and own a house at Stuart Town as well.
Im married and have three children, and also two other older children living in Mudgee.
I used to live in Mendooran as a child (a small town near Dubbo) on a farm next to an old Cobb & Co. station on the Gilgandra Rd.
We used to unearth old bottles and coins etc. I guess thats where the seed was initially planted for me finding stuff under the ground. Also, our property was located on the corner of a creek and a river which would from time to time would produce its own interesting finds. There are historical references to Jimmy Blacksmith having travelled along our creek.
Anyway, to keep it short and sweet from here. I dont own a metal detector. I do plan on buying one once I sell my place at Stuart Town and have disposable cash. I will continue to read the posts that talk about which ones are good etc to help guide me.
I have fallen in love with Ophir (also near Orange) and plan to eventually fossick around there and also at Stuart Town. I realise a lot of the gold has already been found in these areas but I love the idea of getting out in the bush and unearthing any surprises, whatever they may be.
