Gold Nuggets Australia Metal Detecting

Hi Fellow Members,

I am a enthousiastic metal detecting amateur and planning to fly to new zealand within the next month. Thinking about metal detecting I remembered there are posibilities to go for gold nugget searching in australia. This is way different then here in europe and I don't have a detector with me.

I was wondering if anyone has or might have tips related to this topic. If I can get in contact with people doing that and perhaps can join/rent/try for a day or two when I plan to visit Australia.

One of my last nice finds is a silvered large flat button. With inscribed church related figures and details. I think it might be 17th-18th century.
