Last weekend I decided to go back up to Reedy creek and give the highbanker another run. So Friday night I loaded the car up and set off real early Saturday morning for what was another 3 hour drive. I arrived just after 7:00am to ice covered ground and a much higher water level compared to...

So yesterday (Saturday) I made my way down to Reedy Creek, Eldorado, in the hope of finding enough water to use my highbanker for the first time. I had a couple of places in mind, one was not far from Woolshed Falls and the other was a km or two back down stream from the first area. Anyway, on...

G'day guys and girls, I'm thinking about taking my highbanker out for the first time this Sunday coming. Any suggestions where a newbie should head this time of year here in Victoria?

I'm new to detecting and have only ever been out once, which was a couple of weekends ago to Heathcote. I bought a Doug Stone metal detecting map and after reading a few things about the general area, I pretty much picked a spot using the map I bought and what I could see using Google Earth. I...

Hey, hopefully this post is in the right spot. I thought I'd join the forum as I'm new to detecting and would like to learn as much as I can from those who have been doing it for longer than I have. Recently I bought a White's GMT Goldmaster (first ever detector) after doing a fair bit of...
