Gear that survived. Gear that didn’t.
Everything I’ve bought, used, broken, or replaced as a beginner gold prospector in Western Australia. Four sections, ordered the way I’d recommend a beginner think about their kit: prospecting first, vehicle and camping last.
Prospecting Gear
The detector accessories — pick, scoop, pinpointer, folding shovel, scales, gold vials.
Comms and Safety
Zoleo, UHF, snake-bite kit, first aid, gaiters, hydration. The kit that keeps you alive and findable.
Vehicle and Camping Gear
The Prado, the lithium battery, the fridge, the swag, the slide, the cooker, the tyres.
