Only the hard core ones this morning. It is supposed to be -1. I will find out shortly how fresh it is - may have to take the ice pick..... My avatar might scare them away - I'll give them that look when I see them. :D

Going to the Whipstick Bendigo this weekend to look for more. Only found 1 piece at 0.07gm. I now know which direction I want to scan. I found my piece in a gully/stream but did not know it at the time, or could not see that looking at the layout of the land (newbie). I take my Spot Gen3...

Thanks for the Heads Up fellas. I have just returned from a trade show in Syd and spent time with a Garrett Customer Service Manager and we talked a lot of tech - now I do have an upgrade in mind. With the SDC only a month or so old I will have to make it work harder to buy the next machine. :|

Hello all, I am back after what looks like 3 years away from here. I rode shotgun on a couple of film shoots for a new program coming out later this year on TV about prospecting (company I work for was 1 of the sponsors). It fired me back up so I went an bought a Minelab SDC2300. A big upgrade...

I was stoked to dig it up,(Not sure if I want to clean it up though.) the 20 cent piece was about 10m away a little deeper. Only hits I got in that vicinity, maybe next time go out a little further (when the tide is out a little further out). There's still a little sand in the rocky area to explore.

Back at the beach, been a couple of weeks now. Thought that someone has been before me (maybe last night), few holes not backfilled!!! and not much on the beeps. Decided to play near the rocks and found something cool - 1947 Florin.

Just hide under the bed with the kids....

I understand that expensive equipment is precious and that we will do what we can to keep them. This is a bit left of field but there are satellite trackers that you could attach to your detector and turn it on when you are away. It is pretty small, sub $200 (+ less than $20 pm subscription) and...

Actually they do fit. Can always use another pair of thongs. Now I have 2 pairs of goggles as well. It does make me laugh finding the small tent pegs in soft sand... Did something different today and played in the hard wet sand, hightide mark and down near the water's edge. Did have to turn...

Back at "Whiskey Beach" (That's what I will call it now....) this morning. Here are my finds, nothing too exciting... More tent pegs, some bits of metal, a zippo lighter, a buck 20, a bolt I think, my first pull tab, a buckle thingy (I think) another pair of goggles and a pair of thongs. Just in...

Yes, I do prefer the whiskey, which incidentally was bottled just last month - Jan 2015. Very fresh indeed, its just like detecting a bottle of scotch..... or maybe some old pirate rum......hhhmmmmm

Well, all I can say is that the owner of the ring was VERY VERY grateful. He did send a relative around (someone more local) to collect the ring tonight and she dropped of the "Reward". As I said earlier, just a grateful owner is satisfying enough but now I can enjoy the satisfaction for a...

So you are thinkng about one of my prevoius posts.... I may have a stalker!!! It was actually the same beach and roughly the same time of day and at that time of the morning the horses are out for a swim. A private little treasure hunt....hehe

I have always said that i am content with gratitude - be it a simple "Thank you" or a Porsche.

Just got off the phone from the owner of this ring. Asked him where he got it from, he said Ingot, told him that's what it says in the ring. He was over the moon that is was found, I must admit that I'm pretty stoked that I even found it. Coming to collect it on Wednesday evening. One saved...

Just waiting on a call back from the note writer....

Was down the beach again today and found mostly junk but did manage to find a Silver Ring. My list of crap (not enough posts yet to put pics up). A twisted old horse shoe with nail thingies in it 11 bottle tops Sony Walkman Bluetooth headphones Swimming goggles some wire Tent peg 10c $2 and a...

Well thanks for all your thoughts. I don't know much about horses except that they're big and probably taste alright. Just going on what she had said and that the horse pulled it out or lost it. The beach I will go to once a week in the wee hours of the morning so only ppl there are horse riders...

Well I guess next time I could oblige but it would have to be a weekend treasure hunt, and if you have to dig in dung for a treasure I'm sure most of us would. I reckon griding and the experience would have been reward enough.

Was asked the other day whilst detecting on the beach by a woman on a horse if I was local and could detect in her horse paddock. One of her horses lost a staple (from his shoe I presume) and she said that she could not put a horse in that paddock until she found the staple - it was about 3...
