Hi All, Newbie here just joined the forum and I am keen to learn about gold prospecting and share what little I have learned so far about it. Wish I had found this site earlier. I have seen a few familiar names from some of the other forums I frequent on here also. Have built my own PI metal detector and have just started getting out and about on the goldfields to try it out turning theory into practice. Have been doing a tonne of research on gold prospecting and potential areas in Queensland. Love getting out in the bush and leaving all my worries behind for a few hours at least. I am hoping to do a trip to Victoria and WA at some point. Still yet to find my first nugget but I am sure it will happen, I am hoping persistance pays. Had my first lesson on how to pan for gold recently and really do enjoy this also. Hope 2012 fills your pockets with gold and I hope to meet you all out on the goldfields some day soon. Regards, Grant |
