hello all been awhile since i posted was keen to get a detector back then but life and a rather rare illness with other complications got in the way. but i am back now and keen to get a detector. kinda keen on a ctx 3030 for coins and relics as i'm working at the gold coast at the moment so i...

after a storm i'd give it a go down between the sand pumping jetty and the seaway the water is always swirled around there stuff may get deposited. if and when i get a detector that's one of my first plans of attack :)

if you could get enough yabbies you might have a nice little sideline going there :) i was once told the only stupid question is the one not asked. it may work ok if your limiting yourself to in and around the water line. it is another piece of equipment you have to carry around . the only way...

hello i am a newbie to the group just wondered if anyone had covered the the beaches on the gold coast since they had the big swell and high tides meters of sand gone i also imagine that all sorts of stuff would be swirling round at the end of the seaway there it seems like a good idea to me...
