    NSW local council bans detecting

    Thanks guys! Unfortunately I've been struggling with multiple health problems for a while, this is the icing on the cake. I don't want to accept that I can't do some things, but I need to change that thinking a bit because it's a big reason why this latest issue occurred. But anyways, I told...

    NSW local council bans detecting

    Thanks for your reply, everything you said makes a lot of sense! So far with my very limited experience, people I've come across have been fine with what I'm doing.

    My first serious go at this on my own

    Hey all! After getting some tips on tools and stuff, I decided to go out there on my own to see what I can find, and now importantly whether I'd be able to dig it up.

    Relic hunting tool tips wanted

    Hi all I'm currently out in the bush looking for buried relics with my kids. The problem we are having is digging our finds out of the ground! I have a really bad back and nerve issues, so I currently can't use a spade, which is what we really need. We are using a steel garden stake to break...

    A question about where I can fossick NSW

    You could be right!
