Hi my names Stephen and I'm from Bathurst NSW. Well after 22 +years at my current job I'm about to be made redundant and quite frankly I'm looking forward to it, was really starting to become groundhog day to tell the truth.
I have always been interested in gold prospecting having done some panning and detecting in the past, but due to my current job have not had the time to really give it a go. Now that shortly I will have plenty of time on my hands I intend to give it a good thrashing for a six moth period before I start looking for another job..unless I find the big one of course
I will be very shortly in the market for a gold detector and my main pick of machine at this point in time is the Minelab GPX 5000. Have been reading about the new Garrett ATX and that nearly changed my choice of detector but I'm still not convinced it is as good as a machine as the GPX 5000, I'm looking to really punch down deep into the ground. Price wise the ATX does looks very attractive I must admit and is very tempting. On a last note which retailer in OZ has the best price on a GPX 5000.
Cheers
Stephen
PS. Anyone from Bathurst here on the forums?
