Gold Detecting in Australia
Australian detectorist like us detect on the beaches, looking for lost items, they also have a another type of detecting; GOLD. This can be a dangerous adventure if not organised and planned correctly. On my last visit I talked to several people on the local beach, they explained that the finds on the beach were usually coins, jewellery and the fishermen`s weight`s. They told me of certain people that detected up in the gold fields I did not manage to talk to them but found these pictures of their exploits, enjoy.

Start of the adventure
Andy I met on the beach
Things always don`t go to plan
All hands to the spades
A welcome cuppa, even in oz it rains
All smiles now, that camp is set up.
G/day mate

First find of the day
Could this be a bonanza strike mate?

The chairman says fill your holes in!
Strewth mate, its a big bugger
It may be small but its mine, all mine!
How would you like to see these on your detector head?
Gold, fever, some money there mate
And more of the yellow gold, don`t it make you envious!!!
