Love detecting

Hey all my names Deano and I love detecting everywhere I go...I live in north east Victoria and mainly bush hunt for relics... I've known the Buckland ,bright , wandi, harietville area all my life and also spent countless hours driving around Beechworth-tack tracks! I'm 40 and have been detecting for around 10 years.When I left school I went to work on the summer crew firefighting and a couple of older hands used to bottle dig and get me to sweat on the shovel....still remember the first goldfield black I dug, gee I thought we were millionaires....anyhow never fully got the bottle digging bug....so bought an ace 250 ....earliest coin 1797 cartwheel...all the usual Chinese coins...snake and cricket buckles....American eagle buckles and lots of hours of bush bashing...biggest walk was into Louisville (x2) once via boiler plane the other time went down the morning star spur (8 hours in ). I love looking at this site and the random things dug and also the knowlage shared...cheers

I couldn't help myself mate I was just about to open my furphy when I noticed your name lol welcome...I hunt the gold but I always have my eye out for relics .. All the best on your hunts cheers

Great timing could be a sign, golds good to look ,for but I've only ever done alluvial stuff...it's always good to head to the creek I've got a Mac sluice and bazzoka but usually just carry a pan when detecting..all alluvial here but I've been relic detecting with a guy who found nuggets on dredged ground that must have gone "overboard"..I've only found lots of flakes..cheers
