[QUOTE="JakeofallTrades, post: 186063, member: 969"] "Hi guys, bit of a novice but at the age of 48 looking for a hobby to grow old(er) staying active outdoors. Not long done a day out with Coiltek from Maryborough Vic. Thumbs up Eddie by the way, good fun. Still yet to invest in a decent detector but during my Youtube research have come across heaps of videos from the gold areas of W.A. These all seem to have the common denominator of lots of rocky reefs and quartz all over the joint. This reminded me of a place I used to go as a younger bloke, north of Broken Hill in the Fowlers Gap area. I've included a couple of old pictures of the area from the early 90's which don't translate too badly to digital. I'd love some input from people with more knowledge than I (and that's a pretty big pool to dip into) as to whether it's worth the 10 hr drive from where I live in Victoria to wave a detector around up there. Thanks in advance." Umm, why not first spend the time on Vic goldfields that are closer to where you live? No need to spend 10 hour drives in the beginning [/QUOTE]
