    FNQ Detectorists

    I will have a better go when Im in Coen next trip up there, finding the old mullock heaps is the key ! There was a LOT of gold taken out of the fields there. :o

    Garrett Goldmaster 24k

    We have been giving it a bit of a run and we are pretty happy with what we have seen so far. Just need to get it out in the goldfields for a couple of days and see how far it can be pushed in the mineralised soils. Looks like it will be a winner in the sub 0.5g range of pickers !

    Tyconnell Gold Mine.

    Difference Between Shallow Workings And Shallow Leads.

    Thanks Goldierocks, that is one of the best explanations I have heard on where and how to find gold around old mines. Running a detector shop, my standard advice is "If you want to find gold, go where it has been found before" & "dig every signal". I think this is a given, but "Where" to detect...
