[QUOTE="ozzie, post: 102015, member: 533"] No gold in the Wimmera except canola, mustard and wheat ....St Arnaud, Stawell be the closest for gold detecting. There is a couple of mines on the Horsham side of the Grampians but privately owned such as the one one on Polhners Road. If you want to detect around old buildings or areas such as long forgotten pubs and race courses you need a relic hunter such as Minelab 705 and all the variants of it back to 305. An Ace will serve you well for this purpose as well, there are many brands of relic hunters and Europe seems to have an edge on the USA when it comes to usability but for mine, personal only Minelab is best. I aint biased but owned a few different detectors and keep going back to them. That said, and you are determined to but a gold detector on the cheap and one that is proven to find gold if you are prepared to learn and manual ground balance dont phase you, and be prepared to dig a lot...Fisher Gold Bug 2. I have one of these as well and at 71 Hz its a great VLF. Buy what you can afford is the mantra, swing low and slow and dig all targets Oz [/QUOTE]
