Holmz Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I got an old 4x4, and one of the follows with a similar 4wdr was prattling on (in a good way) about prospecting. it sounds intriguing, and I figured I should probably go slow and get the recommended book, which I ordered from Amazon and get my head around the various detectors, So the concept would be: 1) to do some local prospecting on the occasional free weekend, 2) do some on extended trips for a couple of hours/day. 3) maybe go on some trips with the others like the gentleman mentioned above. There are a few mining sites in the area, and I suspect that they have been picked over, so that might make choice of a detector and sensitivity more of an issue. And then there is the legendary "Lasseter's reef"... Until I have questions I'll just do a 'Chancy the Gardner' and watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmz Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Back to detectors for gold... Should I be considering the White's Electronics Sierra at $289, or a Makro Racer, or just saving up for something else? I am still trying to get local knowledge of the rocks in the area and their mineralization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
