    Prospecting in the Peterborough and Dawson area, SA

    I have the landowner's permission if you're referring to that. But my question is, besides the legal aspects, which is important, more about other experiences in that particular region, etc.

    Prospecting in the Peterborough and Dawson area, SA

    Does anyone have experience prospecting in the areas between Peterborough and Dawson, the Mid-North region of South Australia? I'll camp there for a few days and try my GPX 4500. Besides having permission from the land-owner(s), which I have, are there any other things I need to keep in mind...

    From Equinox 800 to GPX 4500

    Not sure what kind of coil I have (waiting for delivery), but I assume it comes with the standard coil (I'm buying a 2nd hand GPX). Do you reckon the listed settings can be used for both 11" and 14" coils? Or is it specific for the 11" Commander Mono. Cheers

    For those with knowledge of South Australia's Crown land (plus the use of SARIG software)

    That is my impression too. However, I indicated some parcels on SARIG with CR titles. I will contact the relevant authority(ies) and determine if this is a go/no-go for prospectors.

    For those with knowledge of South Australia's Crown land (plus the use of SARIG software)

    Is it because of the legal aspect - a combination of land with gold, which is in the hands of private (or corporate) landowners and can't be accessed without permission? Or because there is much less gold in SA than in WA/VIC? Most likely a combination of both? I'm trying to get a better...

    For those with knowledge of South Australia's Crown land (plus the use of SARIG software)

    Thanks, and yes, and I had another look. The following I found on the site: Where can I go and fossick? There are a number of historical fossicking sites within South Australia which are open to the public for fossicking. If you want to fossick on private property, you must obtain the...

    For those with knowledge of South Australia's Crown land (plus the use of SARIG software)

    See my question below ↓ On the website https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/crown-land/south-australias-crown-land there's information on the different Crown Land titles in South Australia. So, I'm using SARIG to explore the different parcels in SA where; A. gold has been found in the...

    From Equinox 800 to GPX 4500

    Hi all, a year ago, I started off with the Minelab Equinox 800. I found some fun stuff on the beaches of SA but more exciting things on the fields in Eastern Germany. I also tried my luck in finding gold in Mount Crawford and, more recently, in Talbot, VIC. Nothing but scrap and a noisy...

    Gold detecting Mount Crawford SA

    I made up my mind and try in the next 3 days a little bit of detecting in the Mt Crawford Forest Reserve. I have my Nox 800 and 10x5" coil with me and am ready to collect my first gold detecting experience (and hopefully with some good results too). I'm aware that there are better areas and...

    Greetings from Adelaide

    Hi Bryan. That's some story you got there. I would like to hear where the farm is (at least the region), so I can do a little research on the SARIG website. We can then discuss and see if it's worth trying. I'll send you a PM or email. Cheers
