Hi everyone,
I’m visiting Australia from Germany and will be in New South Wales and Victoria from mid-February to the end of March. Back home, I enjoy metal detecting for relics and coins alongside archaeologists, but during this trip, I’m keen to try my hand at gold detecting.
I’ll have a Miner’s Right and plan to rent a gold-specific detector (since I was told my Equinox 800 isn’t ideal for gold prospecting). I’ve done some research and know that Victoria, especially the Golden Triangle, is a great area to focus on. I’ve also found resources with legal parks and maps for detecting, but I’m a bit unsure about the recent Section 7 updates and what’s allowed or restricted now.
If anyone has advice on good areas to search or tips for gold hunting in Australia, I’d really appreciate it! Also, if anyone is planning a trip during that time and wouldn’t mind having a visitor tag along, I’d love to join and learn from someone with more experience. I’m easy-going, reliable, and happy to share any finds if luck strikes.
Thanks so much for your help, and happy detecting!
Cheers,
Anton
