[QUOTE="loamer, post: 86112, member: 981"] Bendigo, Dunolly, Maryborough, Ballarat - all with easy reach of Melbourne. You may find the 705 limited in depth and sensitivity as they are a VLF and the soils down here are quite mineralised. I would stick to mullock heaps, reef dumps and shallow ground, and perhaps around surfaced areas. Make sure you have a DD coil fitted. There are some quite cheap gold map series of books,(google John Tully) about $20 each for the most likely areas. There is also the Doug Stone series as well. Another option may be to hire through one of the dealers a PI (4500/5000) etc. The only thing is some of the dealers are quite nervous dealing with interstate and unknown customers. A lot of hired gear has been knocked off by people using fake drivers licenses etc. Melbourne itself had several goldmines which are long buried under suburbia. The dealers at any of the gold centres are very helpful with tips, locations etc [/QUOTE]
