G'day everyone. New to this forum. Used to bush prospect with the first of the xtreme's and stuck at it for a few years but never had any luck. I had a few years gap and then bought an E-Track to beach or paddock detect as digging in the Victorian goldfields was just too hard. I ended up with various mid life medical issues and did not get to use the detector so I have very limited experience using this machine. Recently started to feel that metal detecting was back on the agenda and want to get out to use it. I am thinking that I would start on some of the beaches around Port Phillip bay just to get practice and then go from there. It would be good to get outdoors for a change and I am so looking forward to it. I think I have the feaver again and I do not mean a temperature ha! Many thanks for this site.

Many thanks BigSam I am so looking forward to hearing that whoop from the machine. I am told that the beaches up where you are can be very rewarding but I thing skill with a bit of good fortune can go a long way.

Hi Gav and thanks for supplying some inspiration. I looked at some videos from Minelab and that got the interest flowing so can't wait to get out there again.

Thanks golddig. So looking forward to sharing finds and places of interest to pick up articles that have beeen in the dirt for a long time and the fact that umteen people may have walked over them and not known they were there. That is the thrill.
