Hi everyone,
I'm Hard Luck and have joined the forum as I seem to have once again got the gold fever bug.
I was doing some cleaning up and found some of my old leads maps and the Prospectors Guide 10th edition. Printed in 1980 by the department of Minerals and energy, Victoria. I only went prospecting a couple of times in the early nineties, possibly late eighties with a hired Minelab detector.
The bloke at the Mitcham store was shocked to see I had found a small nugget in a mullock heap, as we were complete rookies. From memory it was 3.something grams but it was a long time ago now.
The nugget has since disappeared due to "problematic" family members, but hey that's life I suppose.
Over the years I have tried to convince mates to give it a go, trying to convince them that there is still a lot of gold out there but no one has been interested.
So now I'm biting the bullet and getting a detector within my budget and going alone with the dog.
All the best
