    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

    Morning AB
    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
