Pirates Gild Prospecting Tours
We’ve been on three Pirates Gold Prospecting Tours (2021-2023)…all well planned and executed by Greg and Liz. They get 11 stars out of ten! Beginner? No problem. Greg and Liz get valuable pointers. Greg will help maximise your detector settings. Liz ensures all goes smoothly and serves wonderful morning tea everyday. Excellent communication. They are definitely prospecting experts. They keep the tours interesting and fun. Love the evening bonfires (when allowed). We’ve learned a lot about safe, fun gold prospecting. THANK YOU!!
