Hey guys, I am about to buy a fisher gold bug pro as my first detector. It comes right into my price range ($800) I just want to know if you think this will be a good buy for a gold detector. I have watched a few videos and read some reviews saying it is quite good. Has anyone used it or...

Thanks. I had a brilliant weekend. I found heaps of junk but no gold. We went to Dunolly but I feel like the area we were in had been searched already (lots of previously dug holes). But I'll be back at it soon!

Thanks, guys great help! After looking online it looks like the gpx series would be best. Won't be able to make it down Friday so we will have to lap up as much info as possible and have our fingers crossed. I'll get onto coiltek. I'll be sure to report back on how it all goes. Cheers

Thank you Jaros. Looking forward to getting out there for my first detecting session.

Hey, need some help. I am heading out to the golden triangle on the weekend to go prospecting. I am looking to hire a good metal detector. The place I am looking at has a sd 2100. Will this model be good enough? What else should I take out? Is a "wand" required? Where should I use as a...

Thanks guys, awesome feedback! I feel like the whole panning process is a bit of luck. I guess it helps to be panning where I am in an old mined stream. It is lots of fun.. I probably find gold in ever second pan. But a tiny bit at that. Twapster, I am going to hire a detector when we get to...

Thanks anger management.. I am mainly using it in the dry bank of the creek.. I have only been finding very small colour. I wasn't sure if the pinpointer would pick up such small gold. Thanks for the advice. You may have just saved me $180. ???

Hi, I am a newbie. I am mainly panning at the moment and was wondering if getting a pinpointer would help? If so is anyone selling one? Cheers, Cam

Hi, I am just starting out in this game! Loving it so far and have had a small bit of luck panning in the St. Andrews, diamond creek area. Such a rush to find gold in the pan at the end of the process (even if it is tiny). Just wondering if it would be worth getting a pin pointer to help me...

Thanks Nugget! Just starting out and planning my first trip to the golden triangle next month. Great reads..

Happy days!

Thanks Mattem. I'll start panning over a bucket so I can see if I have lost any. Good suggestion. Panning is great fun. Today I went out and had a wombat come right up to me.. Keep the colour coming.. I guess it's better than finding nothing at all. Cheers

Hi, I have been out panning in my local area.. Around old mined creeks in the diamond creek area and surrounds. I have been finding really small pieces of gold (I mean minuet). Where I am looking there is lots of quartz, all different colours. Do you think I am missing some of the gold? Should I...

I'm from the suburbs in Melbourne.. Out near diamond creek area.. Hence why I have had the pan out and hunting around the old panning and mining sites of he late 1800's. I have found small amounts of gold. It's fun but I'm ready to go for some bigger stuff in the Golden Triangle. I have been...

Xxplosiv.. Let me know how you go when you get your first detector. Ie which one you go for and if you are happy. Good luck!

Thanks Ronk and metamorphic. I think I am going to save up and get something worthwhile. In the mean time I'll have to hire one. Time to get researching into what I will get when I save some coin.. Hopefully before then I can fund it with gold that I have panned!

Hey guys, I have been enjoying these posts. I am only new to prospecting and have started panning around the diamond creek area but looking to head to the golden triangle with a detector. I would only want something in the 200-500 bracket. Us there anything worth looking at in this range or do I...
