Hello all my name is Chris I’m 47 from Seaford Victoria I came across this forum while trying to do some research on gold detecting.I am looking for a hobbie that the family and I can enjoy and get that boy of that dam Xbox!!!
I love to go hunting and fishing and have often thought about gold prospecting when we go away but wasnt sure where to start ie rules and regulations as well as how to or what to buy to get started
Learnt a long time ago with hunting to talk to those who are doing the sport so I don’t make the same mistakes anyways nice to meet you all
Cheers crusty👍

Hello Crusty

The keys to having an enjoyable time out fossicking are research, patience, having a go, and enjoying the experience.

Considerations include:
- equipment (what is available, what is suitable for your needs, where to use it, how to use it)
- locations (accessibility, legalities)
- geology (understanding how gold travels and accumulates)
- techniques (sampling, testing)

Read through the forum's extensive resources to find most of what you need to know. And yes, it's best to learn from others' mistakes than from your own! :-)
