Hi from Shoalhaven NSW

[Karen]

Hi everyone,

I have no idea why, but I'm returning to detecting. I did a bit back in the 80's and have suddenly decided to go on holiday in a few months to Ballarat, VIC and do a gold prospecting day tour. Hopefully I'll have found a good second hand detector to buy before I go. Have read heaps on the forum already but wanted to get some advice on a detector that will be suitable for me, (I'm petite). Hope to chat to you all in the "detector" section. Thanks for all the great advice already posted.

Welcome to PA Karen.

Welcome Karen, hopefully the guys have already offered up some good info on detector choice, good luck with your detecting adventures.

Heya Karen! Is there still a decent amount of fine gold along the creeks there?

 

[Karen]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

AtomRat are you talking about the Shoalhaven creeks? If so, I haven't been successful panning for it. Maybe once I get a detector it may improve my chances.

We'll see.

Hi Karen, my wife was covered in Silver jewelry when we met 21 yrs ago. Now after some loving presents from her husband (me) she loves the feel and weight of of it.. it has a warm loving colour to it, don't you think?

Hi Karen, welcome to the forum, I am in Nowra and detect around the area. Feel free to chat if you wish.

 

[Karen]

For sure Jaros. I find silver a bit too dull. Your goldie gifts must get you out of a lot of housework

Hello kleinman98, not sure that I have a lot to say at this stage but that may change if I find something on my first adventure out.

Thanks for popping in to say "hi" though.
