Any prospectors here?

Just checking to see if we have any prospectors on the forum?

I live in one of the most active areas back in the gold rush and would love to get a metal detector and explore the area.

How much would I be looking at for a decent quality but value for money detector?

Tips and tricks appreciated too!!!!

Can't wait to find a million nails...LMAO

Never used a metal detector but always try put a pan in the rivers.

Mate years ago paid for his first time out at the Jupiter Creek gold diggings (sa) right at the too of a shaft. Then only eer found old bullets and nails after that hahahaaha

Mine-lab are the go, but might be better off hiring one first, new ones are awesome but $$$$$$$$
love to try though, set it up, need a miners licence to

Ouch...Yeah I have heard about the Mine-Labs....Damn expensive though!!!

Did a bit in the west a while ago found a few pieces but you need the best equipment.
I would only use Mine Lab expensive yes but then it may find you a fortune.
6 to 8 thousand for a top of the range second hand one
Happy prospecting Mate

Would make a great weekend out for the members, group discount on hiring. sort it out AB
