Just a bit about myself.
Grew up in outback QLD, Meet my Partner in NT when I was doing tag along tours, prospecting for Garnets and Zircons in the Harts Ranges. We meet up with Mels parents and friends going to WA to prospected for Gold for 3 months.
I wasn't into gold really but I did live in a gold area as a child and my parents brought me a gold pan when i was 7. I joined the group traveling with them to find camp spots and where to find watering points, so for the first 2 months I learnt to pan and finely they convinced me to try the 4500 which I now own. We stopped at a spot they showed me how to start the detector and all went off, so I just went near the car detecting and got my first signal under a tree, they all come to see me dig and there was my first piece a gram worth. Off they all went 5 mins later I got another signal so they all came back, another good bit of gold bang I was hooked and have been ever since getting over 1 ounce of gold in WA.
Now in Vic, but I have a dam hard time finding gold here as the countryside is so different. I have hit some good patchers over the years here and found gold up to 10 gram nuggets' last one was a 9.6 grams with the GPX 2300 at Christmas time.
Also compete in the Gold panning comps at Blackwood and Wedderburn scoring a first and second, but after a serious work accident nearly 2 yrs ago, its a battle to just get out to detected or to compete, but still having a go.
One of my daughters just competed in her first gold panning completion and came 3rd she was so happy, and she just done her first token hunt with a detector at the Celebration of Neville Perry Day and for her effort won a gold nugget, so proud of her.
G'day everyone looking forward to reading the forums and see all the photo's
Cheers Kel

Really interested in the AgoForce E1500 as I need a lighter detector these days, and it’s great reading the reviews.
