for the newbies starting out in vic

this is a thing that will tell you the things you need to follow when prospecting...if you scroll down there's a section called Prospecting Guide. it's a PFD file but a good start for the newbies that need to know about the rules...

G'Day Stoppsy,

Thanks for the link. I should be there by the start of April.

Is it still called "detecting" if I don't find anything???

Thanks Stoppsy

Just what I was looking for and now there is two new vic license holders.
Could not have been easier.....can apply for the license on the line. Great!
Just can't wait to plan a trip to Victoria!

Please Stoppsy do not stop writing on the forum regardless what........
You are a gem.........or should I say a nugget

All the best

PS forgot to mention. Stoppsy that link to dpi .vic was excellent. Great info. Acan

thanks for this info - has made it easier knowing a place to "start"


Got my miners license (10 year) and have bought some maps and done a fair bit of reserch on the net


Think i have a starting point anyway - am going to try a Vic location next weekend and see how I go. (unless all this rain has closed a few tracks - if so looks like will be walking a bit)

Hahaha - half the fun.

All the best and great forum

Cheers Daz

Prospectors guide - read it!
Miners right - bought it
Introduction and lessons - had em - coiltek maryborough
GPX4500 - hire it.
Been detecting - Maryborough and Havelock.
Gold - nil
Bullets - many
Nails - a few
Shotgun cartridges - a few
.22 shell casings - too many
Sunburnt - yes
Bitten by - anything that crawls or flies.

But I suppose if it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

At least your got a sense of humour

Your right there you sure do need a sense of humor and alot of paitents and a love of the bush, I have enough lead to make my own sinkers to go fishing
