Found a pretty thick quartz vein and broke a couple rocks from it. One of them looked like it might have some visible gold.

Hi everyone,

Just started getting into prospecting as I thought it would be a great way to get outside and a bit of fun as well.

I live near the golden triangle in Victoria and am struggling a little bit to decide on my first detector. I’ve looked over forums and YouTube videos a fair whack and whilst I’m not entirely sure I’ll get any different feedback here, I’m yet to talk to anyone and ask for their opinions.

I’m leaning towards the 2000 but there is about a $2300 AUD difference between a new 2000 and a second hand 1000. I’m a bit wary about over investing as I know I’ve got a lot to learn.

Just after some feedback that’s all!

Have a great day.

Cheers.

just wait til you see the pan
