Hi everyone and many thanks to all the contributors here that have given up their time and knowledge to assist others including myself.
Originally i started off thinking that you buy a detector and watch the gold pile up..... a few years on and i now realise just how much there is to know in order to enhance your chances of finding some colour.
Started out with a GM 1000. I know many have done well with these, but it was one of the most frustrating experiences ever....lol.
I used it at a good friends property in the Steiglitz area and it was not fun at all. Very hot ground and admittedly, i figured it was turn it on and reap rewards. Rude awakening that was....
Enjoying the peace of wandering through the bush, but not the constant noise of the GM, I decided to get a gpx 4500. Watched a youtube video for my settings, and hey presto, found out just how stupid i can be at times. Lol.
Without going on too much, I've just started to get out a little more in the last month or so due to work commitments, and i definitely look forward to more and hopefully my first bit of colour in the near future.
Thanks again to all the contributors that help newbies like me.
Much appreciated and all the best.
