Hello all, I am a newbie to the forum and to gold fever, and I HAVE IT BAD , so, I am recently a retireree without the pension card , getting one will be like gold in itself, I have a metal detector , a creswell bucket thingo , a high banker, a couple of plastic pans and a turbo pan with no idea how its used?? and hopes of finding some gold one day. Spent last Sunday trying my luck for the first time with the detector and struck it rich on the 4th sounding, a 4xxxx gold bottle top in the edge of the river bank, thats going up on my wall of finds. Its an interesting topic and there are many ideas out there on which is the better product to use , some with an explanation, like the man call Wal from canberra, his theories make sense and I assume come from trial and error and experience . My regards to all members .

If your not in cairns, can I ask why you would put your first post here. ( cairns local )
Then again, why would you not start your own post, to introduce yourself, instead of jumping on the back of another.

Gday Jase101,
Good to have another cairns member online. We have a bi monthly coffee meet with other members from the forum at The Miners Den - next one is on the 20th of this month so if you can drop by and say hi in person. Its a very welcoming group, very casual and george will even have the shop open for us that saturday.
There are a few like yourself who stick to alluvial workings (myself included) and more than a few detectorists.
We start at 9am and go until about noon, come along and pick some prospecting minds if you like.

Hope to see you around,
TGW.

Hello XIV, well I suppose its the lack of information on posting posts , for your information I clicked on the introduce yourself post and away i went, thinking i'm in the write area, I did ask for advice on posts as there was no box to do so after my registration was accepted, my question appears to have gone unanswered . well thanks for you friendly welcome

 

[The Green Wanderer]

Hi John, welcome to the forum. Have a bit of a read through these

• https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=27[/*]

That should help you to navigate the many pages on here, or you can always ask one of the moderators for help.
Btw didnt see a specific question among your intro so if you could post that under a new topic in the relevant area we will try and answer it.

TGW.

Hi green wanderer yeah iv been meaning to go down for a while when is the next one Kane was all ways trying to get me to go ill make sure that im there .
I met Kane out in the bush about 18 months ago there i was in the creek running my sluice in my own world in two years I'd been prospecting in that creek i never seen a single sole up there a bit hard to hear bugger all over the running creek lol so any way Kane and his m8 scared the hell out of me lol we went out a prospecting a few times learnt quite a bit off of him and had a few laughs alone the way look forward to meeting you all at the next met .

 

[The Green Wanderer]

No worries Jase, Ive noticed that we prospectors seem to be solitary types
Send me a message if you ever want a tag along on your adventures or maybe ill run into you on one of the creeks around redlynch if im lucky.

Cheers,
TGW.
