starting out for prospecting starting spring 2012

been doing some research on google and youtube.com about prospecting found some neat gear i want to use or will be ordering sometime in july some of the items i will be using this year are

BazookaGoldTrap from (USA) comes in 3 sizes i was thinking of the propector model
Classifier Screens - 3 Sieves of different size mesh/ with buckets
shovel large
shovel small
gloves
black sand magnet
basic gold pan
small pick/manok
BLUE BOWL CONCENTRATOR
small glass jars for samples
a small digital set of scales (to measure gold weight)
tweezers
UV light
satelite navigation unit (for hikers) for marking spots to search and successful locations


may also go and hire a "metal detector" for a weekend or 2 just to see if it is worth the money as a investment.

Some of the areas i was thinking of exploring are wedderburn, creswick, wal wal, kewell, melville caves( and surrounding area), and newstead.
i obviously will not reveal if i do find anything but my guess is as good as yours there's plenty of gold out there for everyone.
government documents reveal there is still 100,000,000 million worth of gold still under the soil untouched wealth..

Hi Statikblast, welcome to the forum,sounds like you have a lifetime of areas picked already,go for it! those government docs didnt happen to mention what soil those 100,000,000 million worth of gold was under did they some one once said to me "theres tons of gold nuggets out there but theres a F&%$#n lot of dirt between them:
