G'day from 50% Sydney 50% Singapore

Hey inmates!

Check my treasure from my first hour on the beach here in Singapore - total victory eh!?

I'm and expat splitting time between SG and AU and when in AU last month decided to try a new hobby.....you guessed it!
My mate's just bought 300 acres near Mudgee NSW and there's plenty of outcrops with what looks like quartzite....who knows if that's good...
So I got a new ATX Deepseeker kit and took it to Singapore to practice.

Well today I tried it at the beach for an hour and first impressions - jeez this is hard!
Interpreting the tones and trying to centre over the hugely valuable bottletop I'm about to unearth....
So - I have the tool now need some skills.

Any utubes or stuff like that I should look at? There's no-one here that I know of to learn from.

Cheers all!

Welcome to the forum Davo, it looks like you are well on your way so now it's just a matter of practice makes perfect, good luck with it

 

[HeadsUp]

search youtube for gold detecting and ATX and you will get about 500 hours of videos to watch

let us know if you want a guide on the mudgee property , and by that i mean post photos and we will tell you where to look and what tools to use

thanks guys.....good idea HeadsUp.......I'm an amature/private heli pilot so could get some good aerial snaps ...... I'm really looking forwards to learning all this stuff especially coz I was interested in geology as a kid in UK and as a teenager joined a caving and mines explorations group......we 're-discovered' loads of old closed mines (mainly lead and silver) but were really into the history rather than recovering ore.

Cheers all!
