[QUOTE="Kaiser Soze, post: 302503, member: 8595"] Hi mate, I'm a relative newbie too so others can probably help a bit more, but I hired an SDC for 3 days at Wedderburn as my first detecting trip back in October. I don't mean to discourage you as you might have a lot more luck than me there, but I only found a single tiny nugget - 0.03-0.04g - in the more popular spots north of the town (Queen's Gully, etc.) from about 20 hours detecting. I then got frustrated and tried some different spots that looked less 'popular' and ended up with 3 nuggets for about 0.35g in the Kingower area in around 5 hours. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think Wedderburn has been pretty hammered and it might be better to have a look elsewhere. It's all good learning though I suppose, and you might well do better than I did... I'd still give Queen's Gully a miss though as I know of at least one guy who has been over it thoroughly with an SDC and found diddly squat. ;) [/QUOTE]
