[QUOTE="Banz, post: 471267, member: 14450"] Thanks for taking the time to reply everyone. I think I'll spend the time between now and the cooler weather getting to know my detector better and then take him up on his offer, agreeing with a handshake or simple written agreement. He has been in this place for about 5 or 10 years and has no idea what investigations if any have been performed on the land. He and I both are just interested to have a dig around and see what's there. Looking through Trove I can see that the creek in his area, but not on his land, had gold discovered there in small quantities in 1904 which I guess is promising but not something I am likely to strike it rich on. I feel that this is going to be the same as how I approach detecting in general: a fun hobby that I will probably never really make any money but may uncover some interesting finds or, at worst, be a way to spend a couple of fun hours.
