Hi from Naracoorte SA. My name is Ashley and Im new to gold prospecting. I have a Minelab Xterra 705 Gold Pack, I know this is in the bottom range of metal detectors but we all need to start somewhere and hopefully this will teach me the basics.
Ive also built myself a highbanker sluice box that is about 90% finished. I look forward to trying it out as I think Im going to enjoy sluicing more than detecting.
As we have no gold in our area, we hope to venture to Ararat and surrounds in the hope of finding some. We ( Wifey and I ), went over to Ararat for a look the other weekend to attempt to find a sluicing spot but obviously we are going to need a fair bit of rain to get things started.
I also enjoy dirt bike riding and attend all the Victorian Vinduros with our pre-85 bikes. Fishing is also a favourite past time, we fish offshore of Kingston SE and catch mainly shark and snapper.
I look forward to being part of this forum and helping others if I can (but I dont know much at the moment).
