Hi produde

welcome .

do you have any favourite areas that you work ?

there are a few areas that members here are familiar with and post questions and answers on , its a learning curve for us all

I have played in WA , Shoalhaven River , Southern Highlands , and planning trips to central western NSW ( Sofala , Nundle , Bingara , Hill End etc )

interested to hear any thoughts or suggestions

best wishes

Gday Heads Up,
I dont have any real favorite areas mate,but usually Haunt the Central Western Goldfields.

Sofala: Still plenty of fine gold at locations along the river,but not much joy on the Nugget side of things. Expect to dig alot of junk if detecting around the diggings. Junk to Nugget ratio can be higher than 100/1.
PM me for a few good locations here to run your highbanker.

Hill End: Patches of Nuggets still turn up there but the deep junk might do your head (and body) in. All areas of Crown land are worth a look,but I reckon if your on a tight time budget,run a DD and you might ping a few. Same go`s for the Fossicking area at Tambaroora......

Hargraves: Like most of NSW,the best gold here is on private property. Still,If your as stubborn as a Mallee Bull, the area behind the Cricket ground in Louisia Creek has nuggets. Junk to gold ratio is Higher that 200/1,plenty of Snakes and Mossies,but if you ping one,IT WILL BE A BEAUTY. The lower reaches of Louisia creek has plenty of crevases that can produce good colour.

Stuart Town : The common has the most Junk I have ever seen,but I have scored small nuggets there. Highbanking best done in the lower reaches of Mookerwarra creek when there is enough water.

Never been to Nundle and the best nugget ground at Bingara is on private land.

Good luck out there.

welcome indeed, ProDude, that was good insight into those central west areas. Disappointing, though, as I was going to detect all around Sofala and Wattle Flat.

You'll have to speak with mbasko soon. He is local to you and is going to be active this year..

regs, Levy
