Golden Triangle Detecting (Avoca)

[nucopia]

If you are on the road full time you are bound to visit different places where your X Terra Pro and a gold detector such as an SDC 2300 would come in handy... X Terra would be good on Beaches and parks for coins and old race courses and abandoned areas for relics and pre decimal coins. Then you would have something like the SDC 2300 for all the gold fields scattered all over the country..

Alright, all sounds like a plan now… the missus and I don’t have too much disposable income at the moment being on the road so I’ll have to pick up some work at some point to pay for one. Can’t wait to get my hands on one though

What sort of work do you do?

What sort of work do you do?

Wall and Ceiling fixer by trade but am fairly willing to do anything been travelling for a while now so have picked up some fairly random jobs along the way. Have done a heap of renovating so ‘handyman’ would cover it well I guess.

Good to hear you are happy to still do a bit of work while travelling.
Lots of Vinyards in the Pyrenees goldfields areas. Avoca, Warrenmang, Redbank, Moonambel. Harvesting time just around the corner so could be some odd job or harvesting work available there.
Had my detector stolen from my car once and a bit of harvesting work on the grapes and tomatoes help me buy another (and better) one.
Maybe worth a bit of drive to check them all out to ask around.
Work is like gold it never finds you.

Oh yeah I agree with the ‘work never finds you’… I’ll be on the lookout plus the missus is on a few Facebook pages for work around Aus so I’ll keep an eye out there.
I might have to bite the bullet and pre empt the work and fork out for a new bit of kit now as I mean I am in the area so I can detect now and work later
I can’t help myself though I’m back out in the bush now in Avoca having a crack anyway. The ground must have dried out a bit and I’m not getting much random feedback. Found a bottle cap and a hot rock so far this morning so for me this early on in the hobby it’s still enjoyable being out in the bush and not finding the yellow stuff

I agree with grubstake.
I started with a Gold Monster and found nothing but rubbish for 3 years.
Got myself a 2300 and found gold on my first go and have found gold with it regularly.
