Tell us about yourself? I am Rick fishers and I have been prospecting for well over a decade. Even though I live in South Australia I travel to the Western Australian goldfields every winter to look for Gold. I have appeared on Aussie Gold Hunters on Discovery channel in season
My prospecting adventure started off with my mate who went out to find gold in the bush I thought I’d like to give this a try….
As the weather cools, I’ve again headed west, and it’s great to be back out swinging into another season.
The 9” coil is ideal for cleaning up patches in open areas and picking off pieces of the diggings.
With a hot summer’s day forecast and the need to get out for a swing with my recently purchased Coiltek 11” Gold Extreme coil, my girlfriend and I got up before dawn to hit our patch in the Victorian GT.
After almost two years and nothing found, I realised I was high tone deaf and that my settings were too high. After a friend took me out to her patch, set me up and sent me out with the settings changed to suit, I found my first bit: 73g with a
After searching for gold on some private property for several hours for no result, I thought I would go to a well worked area on common land that I’ve always had a feeling would hold a decent sized nugget. This area had given up many small nuggets up to 3g
I was fortunate enough to receive the new 11″ coil and mounting kit for my birthday on Friday night from my beautiful partner Liz, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I unwrapped it.
I recently found an undetected patch of good gold nuggets in the Victorian Golden Triangle. Right by a track that people have driven over for years. Yes there is a fair amount of trash around, but it just looked too good. A few junk pieces and my first piece was over one gram and not too deep. I have been back twice and am over the ounce mark with the biggest up until last week being 8.6 grams. When my brother who has never detected for gold before saw this he needed to book a flight from NZ and come out and join our Dad and detect the patch.
