I saw the link nightjar posted on The Gold Detecting and Prospecting Forum and thought I should have a look here. I am surprised that you have a site like this and I have never heard of it. So I joined up, as I am just crazy about detecting. I have so long between trips, I need to read and talk about it. I am retired, live in Sydney my other interests include tennis (4 times a week), fishing (used to import fishing gear), shooting, trading the stock market, exploring for and photographing aboriginal cave paintings, travelling (anywhere, but especially the WA deserts) and good food ( especially deserts !) and wine. I own a 4500, a pair of Ratphones and a selection of NF and Coiltek coils. Every year I do one or two detecting tagalong tours in WA and one in Tibooburra with Gold Prospecting Australia. I usually detect for a few weeks before or after the tours. Closer to home, I have detected three times in the Golden Triangle and twice at Hill End. Now I am marking time and playing with my gear, until I head off to Laverton in April. I tow a 16 foot Bushtracker caravan called Elvis. Cheers, Jigalong |

Now that's what I call a good offroad van with plenty of ground clearance & good approach & departure angles. Cheers Ted |

Hi Jig, that is a very nice van etc that you have!! Actually a nice photo also. The bushtracker 'ELVIS' looks bigger than 16foot!! It must be able to go to some remote areas with that clearance . Hope you do well this year with the detecting...we will keep an eye out for you along the tracks!! Good luck,safe travels & please keep in touch with us all when able. Cheers, Kath |
