Newbie from Bathurst nsw

[AussieGamer_Ben]

Gday everyone.

My name is Ben, im 30yr old from Bathurst nsw. I have been a big fan of prospecting ever since I saw the first episode of gold rush and I have worked in the underground mining industry for last 10 years.
I have only started gold panning in the last 2 weeks and as of tomorrow I will be the owner of a minelab sd2100. my very first detector.
I am looking forward to being on this forum and furthering my skills as a prospector.
