[QUOTE="loamer, post: 29597, member: 981"] Navieko. You will need a DD coil for the Victorian goldfields. I agree - get a copy of Tully's Castlemaine map book. I wouldn't stray too far if you are staying there - plenty to see and do. Silvermernda. VLFs struggle on the highly mineralised ground in Victoria. In the case of the xterra - sensitivity - start at the maximum and work you way down to shut the warbbles, bleeps, grunts and groans up. There are some very deep and dangerous quartz reef workings around Castlemaine and if taking kids - keep a close eye on them. Most deep holes are still open/uncovered. Make sure you have your permit with you. Good luck. Vic Propspecting guide is at: [url]http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/19605/Prospecting-Guide.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
