Goldfields Branch
The Goldfields branch is located in the heart of the Eastern Goldfields, perfect for local members and those who visit for a few weeks or months a year.
All Meetings are generally held on the last Thursday of every second month unless that day clashes with another special event.
The meetings are a great opportunity to ask questions about any issues you may have or to glean information from experienced prospectors about various aspects of gold prospecting. Visitors are welcome.
Throughout the year a number of field trips are held where members can improve their techniques and find out more about such things as panning, metal detecting, loaming and geology from experienced members and visiting experts. Come back to the Website or see the Newsletter for events planned throughout the year.
