G’day all newbie here

G’Day all,

Just stumbled upon this forum, new to detecting, purchased a Minelab go find 66, from sth east Melbourne, looking forward for fresh air and exercise.

Hi Aussie Kev and welcome to the site mate. Just wondering if your looking for gold or coins and relics?? The Go Find 66 will be good for coins and other artifacts. It would be good in parks and on the beach. But not much good up in the goldfields because of the highly mineralized ground up in those regions. You will find it will chatter to much because of the ground. But for beaches it will be great. Don't forget beaches and parks are the only two that normally get replenished each year with goodies.
Cheers wombat

Thanks for the welcome Wombat, yes i found out that it was no good out in the bush , i went for a drive to ENFIELD state park for a look round , so i have decided to send the Go Find 66 back and will purchase the Minelab gold monster 1000 , and see if that is any better :-)
