Welcome to you both you & your wife Kev. Have you detected before? Do you both detect? Sorry I have not detected Paynes Find but hopefully someone else can be of help. You are quite right, it sure is best to wait until the weather cools off!!! We are hoping to leave around Mid-April but maybe later depending on the weather!! Good luck & we look forward to hearing of your adventures. Cheers, Kath |

G'day Mr & Mrs Kev A big welcome to the forum guys and here's to a golden future for yous on the gold ay As to Paynes find area alas it was never over rich for shallow alluvial gold, i would suggest you head just west of Paynes on the Yalgoo/thundelara rd to "Pinyaling hill" area, that area has some good shallow alluvials that can be kind to yaz. Be sure to check for current leases in the area and the Nth side of the Rd is better.. Hope you have a great time out in the bush guys and dont forget that the gold is the cream on the cake of going bush... Pete
