Hi, my name is Chris - user name Baron, now into my 60s and have a huge desire to go looking for precious metal [all forms] with a preference for Gold. Be good to get out of the City of Sydney, travelling to areas I have not been before, meeting like-minded people, sharing experiences and just enjoying the outback. I don't know much about prospecting other than what I have been able to glean from the Web, but I'm a good listener, with the right equipment and hope to learn quickly in the field. Cheers everyone.
