Hello From Brisbane

[DiffLockDave]

Hi guys, I too am very inexperienced in regards to metal detecting.
My wife and I like to travel Australia with the 4wd and van in tow. (Not as much as I would like).
I own an Equinox 800 as I am interested in Beach and Relic hunting, but if a gold nugget wants to show itself I won't mind!.
Only had it a few weeks.
Anyway, I am learning and hope to gain knowledge from you guru's!!

Cheers Dave ickshovel:

G'day DLD welcome to PA can't help you with equinox info just use the search icon top left :Y: then get busy asking questions to rack up your 10 post's and the members section will open up for you. All the best when you get amongst it :beer:

Hi Dave and welcome.

If you're really keen to find gold with the 800 and like to travel, have you considered Tibooburra? It's a long trip but its a place where you are most likely to pick up some small gold. It has a large town common where there have been lots of historical dry blowing. There was some talk a while ago of the locals charging a fee to detect the commons, not sure if that ever went ahead.
I managed to pick a piece up on Gumvale station using the Equinox that didn't even register on my scales

On the way out or back you could also call into a little opal town called Yowah. A mate and missus have a shop and lease out there and it's well worth the visit, has a small caravan park, hot spring spa and free camping area in the town.
