If making a living from detecting is your dream, these prospectors show you how its done guys n gals!
Notice their in depth Geological knowledge and their ability to adapt this knowledge to obtain, and work practical virgin territory, simply through doing their homework and being prepared to go far into the depths of no mans land.
Places that a detector has never seen.
Victoria is much smaller than QLD, we all know that, but you must be able to access territory where the weekend hobby detectorist simply is not equipped or does not have the time and desire to go.
Its essential that you have a good grounding in geology being able to read the ground, the vegetation, and know what to look for in your research.
Research you must, i cannot stress this enough.
Finding 1 gram nuggets with your SDC on the weekends in popular spots, available on a Doug Stone maps, is rewarding and loads of fun, but you will not make a consistent living doing this.
You need the know-how, the gear, the desire and the time to take a risk, throw caution to the wind and go to the right areas geologically, where few have been before you!
Like any business, knowledge is power, hard yakka and commitment is essential, in prospecting for a living.
