[QUOTE="pberrett, post: 49178, member: 2077"] Thanks I have sent an email to Victrack to get written confirmation. Better to be safe than sorry. Many old railways have been turned into bike trails and are now managed by Parks Victoria so one has to be careful about where one goes metal detecting. Another place I want to go coin shooting is Kilcunda beach. Last Sunday I took my new Aldi metal detector and I went looking on Edithvale beach but found nothing on the beach itself. I did find $3 on the paths leading down to the beach however which makes me think that the local council probably sweeps out all the coins, needles etc with machinery. The paths don't get touched however. I'm think Kilcunda would be good because its inaccessible for machinery of this kind. The issue however is that the Kilcunda Reserve starts near there and Parks Victoria don't allow metal detecting in that reserve. One map i have seen says Kilcunda beach is part of the reserve and another I have seen suggests that it starts to the east of town. I have sent an email to Parks Victoria for clarification. Anyone here run a detector down there at all? cheers Peter [/QUOTE]
