[QUOTE="Zorgs, post: 260471, member: 5524"] I've spent the last year scouting out metro sites, trying all sorts of places, researched historical info/pictures and yet been finding bugger all....well anything remotely interesting.... I decided to try the Torrens banks around Walkerville knowing they have probably been worked over a thousand times before. The silence and odd bit of steel/large items was a good indicator. I did manage a Penny which I reckon was a fluke. It cost me around 10 hours of detecting!!! Chatted to a council parks guy who reckons a lot of those banks have been filled which might explain the large masses of irony items. I noticed there's not a lot of posts on here regarding Adelaide and relic/pre decimals. Just wondering if it has a lot to do with population in the early days, sites build over etc? I'm reluctant to hit some areas as I know locals with plums stuck under their lips will claim destructive practices while their dogs lay land mines. Do I give up on metro land and hit the beaches or country areas? [/QUOTE]
