[QUOTE="Boulders, post: 296692, member: 9024"] Hi All, Just a newbie starting out with fossicking. Took the family to Mogo last week and we visited old Mogo town. We were intrigued with the tour and had a go at some panning in there which resulted in a few specks which has got us hooked. I regularly go down the coast for 4wding and camping so I thought we'd combine the efforts and get into some gold hunting also. Went past detectaden and bought a garret panning kit to get started. Planning a trip to Oallen on the 6th and 7th January and was Hoping you guys could help lead us in the right direction as to where would be a good place to start. :| I'm aware that people won't give away all their secrets but I'd appreciate any advise as to where would be a good starting point and what is recommended I should start off with. Do I jump straight over the deep end and start buying high bankers and pumps or even a river sluice or just keep it simple to start with with just a few pans and a classifier? Cheers. Theo [/QUOTE]
