New to prospecting

[Gaewally]

Hi to all. We are newbies and retired for ten years and travelled the same road many times, thought we would go bush and gold detecting.

Our first foray was to Warwick, which was disappointing only finding empty shell casings etc.
Now we are ready to go further afield but don't know where that field is.

We love to stay in the bush and camp, I can knit and my husband can detect. Anyone have ideas where to start.

Welcome to the forum guys, hope you find some useful info within the pages to help you get on your way, and get some excellent finds

Welcome - unfortunately there is no easy lunch out there - the best one is the one you prepare yourself and then hope chance puts you onto a spot where all your hard prep-work comes together.

If you go where gold is known to have been found, you may be lucky enouh to pick up some scraps ..... or the bullets, nails and buttons of those who beat us to it.

Good luck out there

Welcome and good luck, Stick at it and research and you will do ok in the end. A tag along tour might be a good idea to get some instruction in a productive area.

Thank guy for your info.

Hope to catch up out there somewhere.
