  1. If I were thinking about starting this hobby, I would go to one of the metal detecting clubs in your area to see if they would be willing to teach you about some detectors. While they teach you they will more than likely have you in an area that will allow you to find something in the ground while using a decent machine.

    Everyone here has given you some great advice and the only thing is are you really wanting to experience the hobby or wanting to live the hobby. Once you are hooked on this hobby you will have very little time to do any other hobby because you will want to get back out there to find another treasure.

    Good luck and be safe.

    VL if you catch up with Eric tell him it is OK for him to take you to my beach to detect. 😃 But you can't use those glasses there. 😒 

    Due to currency a 100$ US will buy you $150 AUD meal here. 😁

    I just hope that he won't start hiding since someone is willing to help him get those glasses for the detectors.

    Since this is a business trip most of what I do down there will be written off on taxes.

    I have reserved a plane service to take us where we want to go to look for gold while we are there.

    Maybe we can get together for some detecting and have a meal together.

    I know about the currency and that means a lot when I am looking at a sub that is close to 3 million AUD.

    I can save a lot of money by checking it out and then having it sent to where I need it.

    I've decided to throw away my gold detectors as I no longer need this ancient technology..

    I will be landing in Perth on Monday and will be close to your area on Wednesday. I am bringing you a gift card so that you will be able to purchase those glasses. I will also have a second card for you to say thank you for your trouble. I was afraid that they would get lost in the mail so I decided to pick them up while I am down there on business.

    You can message me so that I have your address and please enclose your phone number also.

    Maybe we will be able to do some detecting while I am there also and I will pick up the drinks and meals.

  4. The are that you are in  does have gold bearing ground, with that said, you have to be patient when looking for it.

    I am in an area that is not suppose to have any amount of gold, but each year my girlfriend and I can find a couple of ounces of gold.

    I would be rechecking your own tailings for flour gold or some small flakes the got past your sluice.

    Nuggets are going to be very small in a worked area, so think small. A detector can also help find the best areas to be looking in should you find a layer of gold bearing ground.

    I know that you will be able to find what you are looking for as long as you don't give up.

    Good luck and stay safe out there.

    I did other posts on the forum regarding how to use USGS Lidar maps, topos and OnX Hunt, but the all-in-one award goes to this app. 🏆

    Wrote to them today calling attention to the fact that there might be a lot of detectorist interest, I hope they respond favorably. 🙂

    Nice looking app, now if I could just get a good working phone to put it on because they don't work where I live.
