#1)  PROSPECTING TRAINING COURSE:

CRACKING THE PROSPECTING CODE:

YES !!!!, you can find your OWN GOLD 'patches'.

YES, there ARE thousands upon thousands of areas within Western Australia that still have undiscovered 'patches' of gold nuggets and more importantly, MANY of these locations are OUTSIDE live leases that you can easily gain access.

We provide the knowledge to not just find these forgotten & the previously unknown gold zones, but to enable you to go back to KNOWN areas of gold with the ADVANCED prospecting techniques that enable you to rework old ground much more efficiently. When you've finished working any area, you will know that you have covered that ground effectively and maximised any gold returns that were possible.

LEASE OWNERS - YES, we will be able to help you know where the BEST areas should be within your lease and how to best work those 'gold zones'.

A detailed course MANUAL with a Step-by-Step guide to 'Finding New GOLD Spots' is provided as part of the 'single entry', group (3 or more) & Refresher course fee, so you don't have to rely on your memory.

Courses are run by Aaron Raddock, an Exploration Geology with over 25-years experience throughout Australia and internationally (India, China, Iran, South Africa, Kenya & Kyrgyzstan) looking for many styles of gold deposits, as well as diamonds, base-metals, coal, etc.

Aaron is also a passionate prospector who had been helping friends and family with prospecting advice for many years which is how these training courses came about.

Every month we try to run a course about every two to three weeks, with the aim to hold a Saturday course alternating with a Friday course. Course dates are usually posted with 1-2 months advance notice. Course dates are dependent on Aaron's availability.

Our training courses are held in our training room here at the REEDS Prospecting shop.

Courses usually start just after 9am & finish before 5pm. Sometimes they go longer depending on how many questions are ask after the course is finished. Aaron is happy to stay after the course to answer individual questions, regularly staying longer and not leaving until 6pm or 7pm for those wanting to get some additional help before leaving.

#2)  ONE-on-ONE DETECTOR TRAINING

We understand that many prospector's have purchased their detectors SECOND (2nd) HAND and were definitely NOT provided any training or knowledge about the settings and how these detectors work at their best.

Even detectors like the GPX-6000, SDC-2300 and the Gold Monster 1000 that are amazingly automated can still be GREATLY improved by learning the latest advanced GROUND BALANCING techniques.

Having the settings clearly explained to you so that you know just how much the performance changes as you change the settings is very important to make sure you're not running your detector at a much reduced performance without ever knowing you could have been finding more gold !.

The GPX-5000 (&GPX-4500 & 4000) and GPZ-7000 as still the most 'versatile' detectors on the market. Knowledge of HOW the settings work and how to easily adjust these settings to keep your detector running at its BEST, no matter what soil / rock type you are detecting over is one of the most important skills to put you on the path to finding more nuggets.
