Search some prospectors club. Must be some there?
Try to investigate local market for second hand detectors. Prices. You may write small report here.
What interesting me mostly are old Minelab detectors; GS15000, 16000, 17000, 18000 and abillity to find those to buy. Maybe some local model that never crossed Australian borders? Something vintage from Minelab.
That would be very interesting report.
Many things cab be searched trough internet, yet many things are better to be investigated personally.
Have a good time there!
Regards!

Hi Michael,
You probably already learned Australia has some high iron ground where the natural gold is found, and the Minelab detectors can be used for nugget hunting. Some people also go hunting for lost jewelry and coins.

One way to find other detectorists is to ask at the metal detector stores. They may know other people who want to go detecting, or clubs that you can hunt with. There is a store that sells metal detectors at the east side of Melborne called "Miner's Den" at 464 Whitehorse Road. You can find a map and telephone number on their website here: http://www.minersden.com.au/default....ONTENT&site=15

Good luck detecting, and have fun in Australia
