Who Are Udo and Bill and How Can They Help Me Find Gold?
That is exactly the question I would be asking if I was you.
Here is a brief outline of who we are - we wont bore you with this information in future newsletters and you can get a more in depth look at Gold Prospecting WA - About Us Page
Udo
"Ive been prospecting and mining in WA for over 25 years. I am working an active mining lease at Mindoolah in WA.
I have prospected all over WA from the Kimberleys, down to the Southern Goldfields and I have found some good virgin gold patches in my time prospecting.
I have found hundreds of ounces of gold including one patch of nuggets of 150 ounces of gold (including the 22 1/2 oz nugget which is pictured on the home page of the website.
I retired in 2005 after working 43 years with the same company.
I quickly took up my great love of geology and travelling around Australia after retirement and started metal detecting for Gold throughout Western Australia.
It didn't take me long before I realised that information about gold prospecting and metal detecting was hard to come by, it was expensive and required heaps of time and research.
I spent a lot of time thinking about how I could get simple, easy to understand information about Gold prospecting, Metal Detecting and the best GOLD Prospecting locations and share that around.
Udo's vast experience and knowledge was exactly what was needed to make metal detecting simple...
So Udo and I teamed up to provide information to people via a website about Gold Prospecting in WA.
Tengraph is a superb tool for you to use to find gold and keep on the right side of the Law, not to mention
leaseholders with shotguns!
Some people get really cranky when you "accidentally" stray on to their lease.
Its best not to risk it!
BUT it is complex to use the program and the Department of Mines website.
That is... it WAS complex to do those things. Udo and I have prepared an EBook which is all graphical screenshots and simple explanatons which helps you to sign up and use Tengraph Online easily in the comfort of your
own home.
You can download the Ebook here Download Tengraph easy to use Ebook
We would love feedback from you about this book and whether you found it helpful or would
like us to improve it.
Please feel free to send that link to anyone having a problem with Tengraph.

We thought the instructions and complexity of the Department of Mines and Petroleum website were a little hard to understand for a beginner so we wrote an EBook with simple graphics and step by step instructions how to use it.

We will also be developing specific gold locality reports in the future which will provide you with specific GPS locations and data to help you with your gold prospecting and metal detecting.
This page explains what a geological Map is with links to standard geological mapping colours used on them The standard Symbols used and a document that can help you understand how to use them.

Locality Reports for Gold
Specific "Locality Reports for Gold" are also under Development.
