Hey guys and girls. I have just ventured into the hobby of detecting and have purchased my first beginners detector being an X-Terra 705, low end I know but slow and steady wins the race right.
So I live out at Hope Vale, north-west of Cooktown, and I'm wondering if there are any places nearby that I can go and try my luck. I understand that Native Title Land is a no go area?

hey mate welcome, was only up your way 3weeks ago and lovley country to say the least!!! best bet if ya dont have privite land whould be a run across to gorgetown to the pay to detect places there good gold and great people, check out info on goldfields on this forum and find a post in there by rc62burke he has put up all the contact details for them, goodluck!!!!! cheers joe.

Thanks guys. I lived in Forsayth for a couple of years but hadn't considered detecting. Would have been s great opportunity.

Well FFS    living in Forsayth, there's a golden opportunity missed (pardon the pun) if I ever heard of one, the place is literally surrounded by gold country, I would suggest if you made any contacts out that way you follow up on them, much gold to be found out that way....possibly one of the last remaining untapped detectable reserves left, good luck out there .

wayne.
