Sheppo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 G’day from Central Queensland, Australia. I’m Rob Shepherd (mates call me Shep or Sheppo, hence the user name). I’m relatively new to the prospecting game, only picking up a detector (GPX5000) seriously for the first time in August of 2020 and since upgrading to a GPZ7000. I feel relatively privileged to be living so close to some of the richest goldfields in Queensland and absolutely love living here. Happy to be a part of the community and look forward to seeing the posts here and the knowledge being passed around 👍🏻 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you've got good tools, good grounds, and a good attitude. Knowledge&technique may be the missing pieces but you've come to a good place for help with those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNC Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Welcome! You will find there are many kind people here. I don't do prospecting but metal detect for coins when I can. Too cold and wet right now for me! Be safe out there and hope you find a bucket full of gold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty lucky in that I visit JP’s shop regularly and he’s been able to answer any question I’ve had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
