Hi everybody, I'm new to this site but hoping to meet people who enjoy detecting and gain some tips. My partner kids and I have just brought our first lot of detectors. My son has a EXTERRA 305, I have a CTX305 and my partner has a GPX5000.. We have been spending the last couple of mths scouring the local grounds but no luck apart from some trash... Would like to hear from people around the Mackay Whitsunday area as well as people's trips and travels around the traps...
Cheers
Bec

Hey Bec, Congrats on getting the whole family involved in this great hobby. I know there are old gold workings in the Proserpine/Bowen area. They are all private property so you will need to do some door knocking. I'm hoping to get onto a property this week in the Bowen area. The owner says there is gold in the creek but crocs in the estuary  |

The owner says there is gold in the creek but crocs in the estuary Hi chriso, yeah we love it and so does our 11 yr old son but our 14 yr old daughter has other thoughts.. Lol Oh might have to investigate the prossy area a bit more... But yeah lots of crocs up that way, which puts me off doing the creeks.. We have been hitting eungella the last few times, on diggings rd. we have found a couple of old shafts and trying to detect around them but sometimes the scrub is really thick. We have also tried pinevale just near eaton but no luck... Oh well we will just keep swinging with the hope we will find something soon... Let us know how you go with the Bowen area... :-) |
