Hello,

I am new to the site and looking on advice for tours, companies, clubs, or persons who provide a service on metal detecting or prospecting for up to two weeks in either Australia, Canada or the USA. I live in the UK and have over 30 years metal detecting experience.

I would really appreciate any advice anyone has one this.

Thanks,

John

Hello John,
Rather than rewrite what is already written here, go the the "Links" at bottom of home page and you can research.

Cheers

Hi John (and hi to all the other members as well), I am new to the site and just scrolling through.
It is quite shocking how prospectors ignore Africa; Zambia for example is blessed with the yellow color & other
minerals. Villagers will show you deposits where gold was found in ancient times already; the Geological Survey
will give you advice where to go or you do some home work first, learn how to "read" a river, become a bit familiar
with the geology and/or get your hands on the (internal) database of the Ministry of Mines incl. Survey & Cadastre. The
database contain ALL the information you can think about !
After the first or second sniff you might even opt to apply for a prospecting licence (max.size of a small scale licence is
2km x 2km).
Please feel free to contact me.
