[QUOTE="DetectorMan, post: 611462, member: 17113"] Totally agree with Bush, be prepared to be bitten, always have a 'snake bite kit' and know your first aid, and sometimes the bites are only from bull ants, especially when accidentally stepping on one of their many nests. As for worth it, Generally NO, when it comes to finding gold. But if your happy to get outdoors and prepared for the above, love enjoying nature, noticing history in the areas, then it's definitely worth it. I've used Garrett, GPX, SDC and GPZ. It's not the detector necessarily it's the research, and a lot of time. Lastly, be prepared for 'adjustment' injuries when you start out, and then there are more long term injuries that could happen. Overall though, have fun and be safe, don't forget to at least tell someone where you are. It's difficult to find lost prospectors, because they tend to keep it secretive. Going with a friend or group, has many pluses that i can't recommend enough. [/QUOTE]
