Hmmm, Still not too sure, WA is the best bet, then you have the golden Triangle down in Vic, but that gets flogged pretty good, Have read and studied ""Gold and Ghosts"" Which lists all the old gold fields from the 20c and 19c, Have all the google overlays, tenegraphs for lease ownership's etc and ozi explorer, have many sites listed and logged, Queensland also looks like a promising area. Fossicking licenses in Aus are dirt cheap, so to speak.

Yeah the hunt for gold has been a bit of an interest for sometime, its the perfect aspie pass time! lol... On your own in the middle of nowhere, no people, looking for geological patterns and patterns of possible pay streaks, the hunt of the chase and the adventure.... Yeah, could be some fun

^ It does sound very aspie-friendly, I can see you've done your research on it too!

It'll be good to have a bit of freedom and adventure.

Yeah, the history is also pretty wicked, have gps of all the old mines so those areas are best to start with then once i get the flow, head into the more remote virgin areas where the weekender would less likely go, so better check on rain seasons as flash flooding is as bad as 40c heat. lol

thank you!

^

That sounds very exiting!

If you're lucky maybe you will find one of these. It got sold for 71 american dollars on Sotheby's auction in Hongkong

Haha, there are some diamond, sapphire and opal deposits in Queensland... However a rock that size may be a little too optimistic... Lower standards means less set up for disappointment... i have the info needed , now i need to get some ground experience there, as its not just the geology, but learning about the old timers sites and understanding the methods they used to also decipher how gold bearing the area is.... There are soo many added puzzles that just picking a mine detector off the shelf and expecting to find something will lead in disappointment... It is quit an interesting science in itself... Still got a ton to learn..

Wow, that sounds quite exciting!

...biggles. (Still not quite used to that name. )

What is a mine detector?

Not to be completely change the subject, but would anyone like to see something I've written?


(I feel like Midnightstar... )

Oh, , it is a metal detector not a mine detector lol, a ""minelab"" is the make of the best detectors. Had both pictured in my head hence the ""mine detector"". lol

Yes, go for it

What did you write?

Ohhh, that's what you meant! I was wondering why one would go looking for mines!
(The explosive kind. )

^^
It's the preface for my Pokemon fanfic that I've started, which is in the format of someone writing diary entries.

Using a metal detector looks so exiting. Here in Norway amateur users of such have found many treasures from thousends of years back.

Like this for example. Gold from Roman times

I will read it
