Gold Ballarat Prospecting Equipment have been selling and hiring Minelab Gold Detectors and Prospecting Equipment for over 34 years.

From the bush to the beach, gold, coins and treasure, they have the right gear to help you find your fortune.

Gold Ballarat is the Home of Minelab Detectors Ballarat. Located right in the heart of the goldrush city of Ballarat.

Detector Hire is available weekdays and weekends, making it easy to explore the local Goldfields of Ballarat, Creswick and the Victorian Golden Triangle at your own pace.

Minelab Detectors are easy to operate and a affordable way to try your luck in the Victorian Goldfields. We will assist you with a full rundown on how to use your Minelab Detector, give you a pick, a gold map of the area and make sure you have everything you need before you go.

Detector Hire is a great way to entertain the kids during the school holidays. Grab a detector, pick, pan and scoop and head out to Slaty Creek, Creswick for a fun day with the kids. This is also a great way to try before you buy or see if the hobby is right for you.

What will you discover with a Minelab Gold Detector from Gold Ballarat Prospecting Equipment? You never know if you never go.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
