Metal detecting

Walking in the bush or on the beach waiting for that one certain noise that will have you wondering is it the payload or is it just more junk. To me metal detecting is a relaxing hobby. if its in the bush in the middle of nowhere or on a beach walking up and down in the sun. its all relaxing and fun.

First of all you need to get yourself a detector. They can range from $100 all the way up to $6000 depending on what sort of detecting you want to do. For the beach and parks the $100 metal detectors will do as you don't need to have all the bells and whistles. But if your heading out to find that elusive nugget then the price will start to rise. If your new to it then one of the cheaper gold detectors will be better otherwise if your a whizz in the gold fields then one of the more expensive detectors will be better. they have allot more to set up but once it is set up correctly then you can watch the gold be unearthed.

The simple beach or park detecting is a simple setup. all you need is your detector, scoop and a bit of info for where your going to look. Prospecting for gold is a bit more to do with setup and research. You need a 4wd that can take you to remote areas gold maps Geo points food and allot of spares. It can be allot of work for little or nothing at all but then there is the opportunity that you might come across a nugget that will pay off your house.

There are quite a few websites on the net that will tell you all info how to detect and where to go. I thort i would write this blog so that people can comment and tell us if it has worked for them or not.
As i get out there i will post up pics and discuss how i went.
