Hi treasure seekers :) !

Names Patrick.. Just landed in Paraburdoo bought myself a GPX5000 and looking to learn how and where to detect for gold!

Hi Patrick,

You're in the right place. There's been a lot of gold found in recent years between you and Karratha. Some patches gave up hundreds of ounces but of course they took that ;)
The best place to start looking for gold is where it's been found before. It pays to become familiar with the readily available mineral data publicly available in WA. The Mines Department is very helpful with software, maps and free advice. When you get your once in a lifetime Miners Right you can gain access to Tengraph and Geoview online for detailed gold information, maps and tenement data. You can find where you can legally go and apply for legal access to almost anywhere.

Happy hunting, Phil
