    Hi Everyone

    Welcome, watch a few vides and read your manual. Then turn on and go. Pretty straight forward go low and slow and remember to set your detector to the territory you are searching.

    Night detecting

    Snakes at night after the frogs and expected 36-37 most of next week so be careful. Plus the added uncapped mine shafts are another risk at night. cheers and good luck

    Also remember the price changes quickly depending on current gold price. We can all remember when gold was selling for around $50 gm

    Hi, currently prospectors are getting anywhere from $89 - $105 gm depending on size and quality of speci. Gold is hard to find and a lot of work hence the price. Large gold nuggets also attract a premium price due to their rarity cheers

    Victorian Newbie - question on purchasing detector GPX 5000

    5000 is a great detector with loads of coil options. But I would not overlook the 4500 with just as many coil options and much cheaper. This would allow you to get into the search for gold. My personal choice would be buy what you can afford. My choice would be in terms of money if you can...

    Opinions on a new detector

    Went really well. Found a few coins, bangle and a bullet. First time out and only out for about two hours.
