[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 649233, member: 4728"] Hi Chris Glad to see one of your first steps was getting a miners right. If you look under Forums and scroll down towards the end there is an entry for Victorian clubs and associations. Also the Prospectors and Miners Association of Victoria (PMAV) have local groups that meet regularly. Most of these groups have meetings and outings where you could share information about practical prospecting. Just to put in my six pence worth on detectors, I would suggest saving a bit and looking for a good used PI detector like a 2300 or 5000. You will not be able to blame your detector if you do not find gold. Short term hire would be good, but with longer term hire, it may be less expensive to have just bought and resold if that was ever necessary. Maybe before you make any decision, check out and go along to a club meeting and seek out other prospector's views. I am sure that you will meet people with experience of either machine or perhaps both. Also try to get out in any organised group outings as there is nothing like learning in the field and having a good mentoring relationship with more experienced prospectors at hand. [/QUOTE]
