We have been back for another visit to the North Queensland Goldfields, and will have a video up in the coming week. The video will include some more gold cradling in the creeks while Mrs NQ hunts the banks with her AT Pro for goldfield relics from the 1870s. Happy Hunting everyone!

G’day everyone, we have just returned from a short trip to the North Queensland goldfields. Although the ‘wet season’ this year has not produced a lot of rain in the area, the grass on the creek banks and hillsides is so thick that detecting is almost impossible – so we concentrated our efforts on the creek gullies and in the ghost towns where the grass allowed it. In addition we took along our half-scale gold cradle in search of some fine gold. We are currently editing the footage, and will have a video up early next week. Thanks you for visiting our site! Happy Hunting!
