I'm located at Bald Hills and would like to get out one day and go on a hunt with some fellow detectorists. I've got a Garrett 350 Euroace and have been checking out some of the local parks and dry sand on the beaches. Cheers Wade

Hey mate. If you have an Anaconda up there, check them out. The ones down Brissie carry seives and pans plus some minelab detectors.

Here's a few I took around Northern NZ a couple of years ago

G'day and welcome to the forum. I'm also a newbie but have been learning heaps reading all the posts. Enjoy!!!! Wade

I've got a Garrett Ace 350 and if I hit the wet sand with the coil I always get a false signal. Works well with the sensitivity backed off all the way to about 25%. Worth a try with the 305. Cheers Wade

I recently picked up a near new Ace 350 for a similar price. It seems like a great value machine. I've managed to run around on wet sand although I did have to drop the sensitivity to around 3. Still gives hits down to around 6-8 inches. As long as you don't go whacking the coil on the sand it...

Thanks for the welcome Mick. My folks live up at Wattle Camp about 20 mins north of Nanango. Heading up there over Christmas. They have a nice creek running through the back of their place so I'll have to throw the pans in the car so I can have a dig around. We have a 4wd so we might have to...
