Gold Course in WA

[Cobalt]

Hi Folks has anyone done a 3 day gold course in WA.
Costs about $800 a head and gives you access to their leases??
If you did was it worth it??
Cheers.

It's worth it if you're doing the course with a reputable company or operator. There are a number of things they would teach you about finding gold legally and successfully including using your detector and staying safe in the bush, a good course will probably teach you as much in 3 days as you would learn in 3 years if you don't have exeprienced friends to guide you.

I was thinking of the Leonora course. Some guys from the Adelaide Detector club have voiced an interest in doing a course next year.

That's Tony and Lisa, aka @Goldtalk Leonora here on PA. A top couple from all I've heard/seen - check out his excellent videos here:

When I first got serious about detecting I booked a 5 day Goldrush Camp with Lisa and Tony at Leonora but unfortunately Covid hit and WA closed thier border so I couldn't get there, I was very disappointed, but I was lucky to have my brother and a few other experienced prospectors to help me learn enough and gain a bit of confidence in what I was doing.

My partner and I did the course with Goldtalk Leanora and I highly recommend it

I don't think you could go wrong with them as they are very experienced and have a wealth of knowledge. Best wishes.

Don't forget, you get access to a heap of ground to detect with goldtalk

Yes if your getting into gold detecting and heading to WA it is well worth it, I can recommend Goldtalk Leonora (Lisa & Tony) as have done course with them, you will get a great heads up on using your machine, WA regulations, using Tengraph and other resources. On the ground training, as well as all the very well presented in-house info and lots of notes. On completion you get access to large area of country to detect on.

I attended Goldtalk Leonora a few years ago and it was amazing. Then spent a few weeks on leases they had access to. Well worth the money and effort. I drove from Northern NSW.

Thanks all for the replies very encouraging.
I will definitely be booking - myself and 4 others at this stage.

I met 2 couples last week while out detecting & both had done courses with Goldtalk Leonora & spoke extremely highly of the teachings imparted by them.
