[QUOTE="phil001, post: 399195, member: 12269"] Hello everyone Im new to this forum (and detecting) and need some advice. I've been reading a lot and just picked up a used Fisher F19 with three coils (Fisher 10 x 5" camo Coil, Mars 13x10" Tiger Coil, Fisher 5" round Coil) all for 699aud. It's in good condition and I think I got a fair deal. I bought with the intention to do some beach detecting with the kids and a foray into the WA gold fields for a couple of weeks (Im thinking Cue area) Having pressed the button on the F19 I kept on reading and am now starting to wonder whether I will be wasting my time trying to prospect with a VLF due to the soil conditions in WA. So I have three questions which I would really appreciate some help with; - Will the F19 stand a good chance to find some gold if I am in the right place or will the WA soil render it pretty much useless? - Which of the coils I have for the F19 would be the go to for prospecting? - If I get out there and the F19 isnt working out then is there somewhere local that I can hire a GPX for a couple of days (I search on google but not finding anyth current in the vicinity - I don't want to hire in Perth as the the prospecting will part of a much longer trip up north) Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out with some advice...
