Hey Mick.

Thanks for the reply.I have three people intrested. Probaly not enough to call a club but should still get together. I have no experience but intersted in all aspects of prospecting. When you head to the coast i would like to come and have a look and see how the pros do it if thats ok.

ps:Im in Bagdad.

hi stewie will have to get in touch one day over next few months , we will not be going again until about sept as the cold kills ya cheers Mick

Well Done fellas.

Why dont you propose a venue, such as a pub somewhere just to say hello or maybe a phone number for people to ring. You can use this forum as you wish in this regard.

It may be even worthwhile putting an article on the Discussion Area asking people if they are interested to check the Detecting Clubs forum for information

Jeff

Count me in as well have a detector and have done a little panning but not had a lot of success.

Tab, another forum "The Australian Metal detecting and Relic hunting forum" has a few detecting members over your way.might be someone near you. Rwork

has any one been out detecting , few snakes getting about

I am in Devonport and am just getting into this and wouldnt mind catching up with a few like minded people

mate drop us an email with your number and i,ll give you a bell and see where we end up , we have mainly been down west coast this year but looking at other places after lots of research on Tas history chers Mick email mickjstarr@gmail.com

G'day all you Mob in Tassie,
Was beginning to think I was the only silly bugger dumb enough over here to be into this hobby. Have done heaps of research on all different areas where gold has been found around Tassie, and have been out in the field quite a bit also. Have ventured up to the Golden Triangle in Victoria a few times as well as a couple of trips over to the West (Central Goldfields W.A.) with another trip not too far distant as well. There are a few people from Lefroy in Tassie with Leases over there (WA) at the moment as well as many other Tasmanians scattered around the place.
Mick, I wouldn't mind poppin' down the West Coast with you some time also, to see how you do things. Starting to get a bit sick of going around on my own, as a coupla' times I've near come to grief, once with a Tiger Snake out in the middle of the mulga, and the other time my Patrol got a bit stuck you might say. Never mind, all turned out for the best in the end.
I run an old GP Extreme, but she does the job required of her okay when required, and also a bit of sieving and 'tin dishing'. If anything comes of this club idea, you can count me in, even if it is just a gathering to share knowledge, or a group outing somewhere, I'll still be more than interested. Cheers, Cashman.

sorry not getting back to you earlier cashman , but had powercruise this month , lots to organise , have sold my swb cruiser and bought a pathfinder which won,t be going bush to good a car , maybe a few light tracks , but should have F150 4x4 coming end feb early march to be setup to go away with 33 tyres etc then be lookin to go again , also have just got a whites GMT Goldmaster to try to get a bit more colour as we have only ever panned or sluiced but reading conditions on latest prospecting licence they have now outlawed sluices and trommels in TAS (bas*****) , drop a pm on here and see what we can organise for future trips maybe get a few together cheers Mick

Hi guys have put a post in general discussion re starting a club here in TAS if interested either PM or email me at starrs253@hotmail.com with your Name , where you live in state and a contact number as to compile a list and get something organised soon , maybe a get together for a chat then a trip somewhere


Cheers Mick

thanks for everyone,s interest , we now have around 10 people interested from around the state plus a few others that are not on the forum hopefully am slowly getting back to everyone as its been pretty hectic over last month or 2 with powercruise commitments then son,s wedding on weekend so we still have a few travelers here , sydney , darwin ,perth and would you believe norway , well they all head this week will keep in touch


Cheers Mick

Gday All,

I am just getting into the hobby after a day trip out of bendigo got me hooked!
If a club ever forms count me in.
Also it would be good to catch up with a few of you for a beer and a chat one day.

Cheers

Shane

gday Shane , well have been out of action for last week or so , but good to hear we have someone else interested that makes nearly 20 people now , I will be hopefully calling another guy greenwell2 to see what we can organise over next couple of weeks for a get together and chat in near future the only problem being that we are all scattered over tassy so a place might not be easy for all to get to , anyway what area are you from and could we also have a contact number in case we need to ring around to get day setup thanks again




cheers starry

Gday Starry.

Yeah thats good that there are a few people here in the state that are like minded.
Im located just south of hobart here in margate but my work takes me all over the state.
My number is 0418458971 if your planning something.

Shane

Hi you can count me in. I think its a fantastic idea too.

Kindest Regards
Phillip

Howdy all ,
just posted this on another forum as well.
and especially the Tasmanians on here. Am thinking it is about time we tried to get a few of us together and do some detecting and discussing of the idea of a club. I am in Devonport and would suggest we meet somewhere central ...Campbelltown,,,Ross,,,Bothwell or some such. I was originally thinking of the Monday of the long weekend. May be a bit close. So ideas would be appreciated..
Roger

Hi Roger , will give you a call this week



cheers Mick (starry)

Hi and hello have always had an interest in prospecting but confess I do not know much about it. Have dabbled in looking for saphires and I am always picking up rocks etc. If a club has started in Tassie I would be interested in becoming a member Harry (lives in Ulverstone)

Hi Harry welcome aboard PM sent




cheers starry

Gday guys, Benny from Kindred ere

Been detecting around north east a fair bit, and grew up on the west coast... be good to catch up for a beer and trade secrets with like minded fellas

Lets lock in a date and time for a meetup... Monday of long weekend is good for me

HI to all we are intending to hold a meet up for all interested people to be held at Devonport at the bluff soundshell just up the hill from the surf club , opposite the c/van park at 2 pm on Monday the 11/6/2012 , due to most people at the moment being from the North West and not many replies rec,d to Roger,s post from other area,s of the State this is the proposed venue for the first meet , greet and have a chat and go from there , maybe with other interest the next one could be held elsewhere in the State


cheers starry

you can contact me on this forum or email mickjstarr@gmail.com

p.s. as I have contact details for most interested people I will email or text the one,s that I have contact details for cheers and see you there

I've also started a Facebook group if any of you guys are on there...

go to Facebook and search for 'Tasmanian Prospectors & Fossickers', and then when you find it, join the group!

gives us an easy way to organise prospecting missions and ideas

cheers
