I have been interested in prospecting for a very long time but apart of going panning few times never really done anything about it. That is going to change now. I spend way to much time in the office. Hopefully my family will join me and we will have some fun. I really enjoy reading your forum and find a lot of very useful info about the subject. I hope as I learn more i can contribute also. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Hey Beagleboy,
What is your preference? (Panning, Sluicing, Highbanking or using a detector)
Where abouts are you from?

Thank you for your welcome guys. I am new to all this so I was thinking of getting a sluice box and try that first. I have pans already and the rest of the equipment I am going to build myself. I would like to try detecting but the detectors are not cheap. I will get one one day. I live near Miners Den shop and they do demo days for detectors. I am going to check that out.
I am from Melbourne.

Thanks Jed. This place is great to learn. I cant wait for the weather to improve so I can go bush.
I heard from my sister-in-law in Doreen that the weather has been pretty wild. Spring is the best time in the Canberra area - before too many snakes wake up. You might like to invest in a good pair of snake gaiters as insurance in summer :lol: There is a topic in this forum on snake gaiters - some members do & some dont but I am old fashioned and try not to rely on emergency serices!
