Finally! After many failed attempts, Saturday I finally detected my first bits of gold! A whopping .054g :confused: Hit plenty of lead shot, and after almost giving up, finally struck the good stuff. It was a good learning curve for me, and I think I'll be more efficient, patient on the...

Hi All, Contemplating a venture to slaty creek creswick perhaps tomorrow/Friday this week to further test out the new highbanker - am I wasting my time, is this area all in flood?! I'm travelling from outer east melbourne, don't want to drive for nothing!

Looking for a highbanker guys - anyone selling? - Have a 3000GPH bilge pump so I think I'm limited to an 8"...... Got some spare $ to burn....:D

I had a bit of luck today working on the upstream side of a logjam which incidentally was also the side of exposed bedrock with deep crevices that delivered my biggest picker to date - laughably small in comparison to those of you who've been at this game for many years, but to me, it was a...

Hi all, Thinking of parting with my Nokta Gold Kruzer detector. Used maybe 4 or 5 times but distance from the GT means I just can't see it being used much at all. Scuff marks on the skid plate, but apart from that, in excellent condition. Comes with all the standard box contents and box...

Hi guys, Just after a little assistance - my Uncle owns about 20 acres in Macclesfield, not too far away from the Mineshaft Reserve....I've done a little reading on Gold in the area, and know that there was a little gold found, but doesn't appear to be too much info from what I could find...

I'm fairly new to all this prospecting business and more so with GeoVic.....I've had a bit of a play around with relevant layers but all I seem to ever see is stuff around the GT. I have all the layers turned on, but next to nothing pops up in the Warburton area....even though there's Gold...

I took my new (and first) detector out today to a local hill near the Yarra just to have a bit of a play and familiarisation session. It's a spot I've walked with my kids before and it has this stunning view of the river - but it's not the main trail of the area so it's nice and quiet for the...

So I managed to pick up a Gold Kruzer for a very reasonable price recently and I took it out today for the very first time with my 10yo. I was able to ping solid metallic rubbish with ease - the tone was like a police siren going off - which led me to my first find, a bullet casing. I found...

Managed to pick up a Nokta Gold Kruzer for a very reasonable price, so I took it out today with my 10yo and had a bit of a 'swing'. I present my very first detecting find. Be amazed and green with envy.... :lol: It's a bullet casing yeah?

Been tossing up between the Gold Monster and the Gold Kruzer lately, but saw an advertisement for the Kruzer at what seems like a great price and very tempting...Aussie distributor too..... Haven't had a detector before....know next to nothing about them....and have no intention of ever...

Not sure where to post this exactly....but I'm struggling to find a decent backpack (not that I've looked that hard yet) to fit; - Pan - Classifier - Yabbie Pump - Small shovel - other little bits and pieces, maybe a crevicing tool etc It's the pan that never fits! What do you guys use out in...

Hi All, Just wondering what you guys use to mark locations where you've prospected before? I am hoping something similar to google maps is available that can be 'marked up' and saved to a local drive....but this might be wishful thinking.....be great to have something that you can attach pics...

Hi guys, newbie here, great to read peoples' experiences in prospecting. What a great little hobby eh? Only 3 weeks in but have had a bit of luck at Anderson's creek, Warrandyte - clay seems to be the way to go?! Looking forward to these blasted restrictions easing and heading out to some more...
