Just a little about myself. I live at Lake Macquarie NSW - recently retired - keen to take on new interest/hobby. Have an Xterra 70 detector with extra coils at various frequencies. No luck finding gold at present - been to Nundle NSW and Lake Burrendong NSW on scouting trips trying to gain information. Have purchased maps - geological and metallogenic and scoured the internet for as much information as available. The only gold I have found was a few specks panned from the Peel River and this could have been seeded by the guy showing me how to pan on a tour. I realise now that there are better and smarter metal detectors available but I will practice with the Xterra first. |
