S.A. Newbie

Hi Everyone,

just joined the site a couple of weeks ago been prospecting for a little over a year and half now or you could say fossicking in S.A.

went out this morning to Mount Crawford got very wet
cleaned up some shot guns shells and trash for other people not to find

been to echunga a couple of times also but havent found that elusive Gold Yet?

starting to wonder if these areas have been thrashed out

the gold fever has been running even stronger in my blood ever since i won a GPX 5000 by subscribing to Australian Gold Gem and Treasure Magazine was absolutely stoked when i got the phonecall

well nice to finally put a post up love reading everyones Gold finds and topic hopefully the next post will be of some yellow stuff

goodluck

G'day Pott00 & welcome to the forum

Congrats on winning the GPX5000 in the GGT mag thats a real good prize and I bet it made ya day, thats as good as finding 4ozs of gold anyhow so it's a good kick start.

It should not take very long to snag a few bits of yellow with that machine, espically if you can get a bit of help setting up the machine correctly.

Good luck out there, but you should'nt need it, or maybe you do, you may have used up a bit of luck winning that detector.

cheers dave

thanks Dave

yeah was in a little shock when i got the phonecall

its a bit of trial an error at the moment

just keep going out and swinging and hopefully snag one!!!!!

G'day Pott00 and welcome to the forum congrats for the great prize. You just have to persist and if your finding small lead shot etc you know you are doing it right...

Cheers.

Mike.

Hi Mike,

yeah finding lots of shot gun pellets small ones at that,

its good to hear im on the right track just have to find that spot where someone has missed or never been before?

its a little hard in S.A. when theres only three places to go but im sure if i keep persisting it will come

thanks

Welcome, I am fairly new myself. In regards to Mt Crawford etc.. are these site freely available to search or does one need a permit?

Hey Astroman,

yeah if you want to go fossicking in Mount Crawford you need to go to the information centre and pay either $2 a day for access to fossick or $30 dollars a year

im pretty sure you can go anytime you like except for total fire ban days

Echunga is free
