The number of people who take up metal detecting each year is growing every year and many of them have little or no prospecting experience and don’t know much about how and where to find gold or where to look for gold in Western Australia. The obvious areas to start looking for gold are around known gold producing areas such as Kalgoorlie, Mount Magnet, Coolgardie, Menzies etc, however as you get further away from these known gold bearing areas it is harder to determine if the area you are looking at is suitable for metal detecting, or prospecting.
