[QUOTE="Beuport, post: 332990, member: 10158"] hi, i decided i wanted to get into detecting so i did a little research and bought a cheap detector on ebay. i have used it 4 times since i got it this week and have found around 10bucks in aussie decimal coins. im having a lot of trouble when i get down to the salt water line. on dry sand it picks up a half centremetre rusted nail. but it goes crazy when i get down to the beach line. forums i have read said that i should search for particular metals only and turn down the sensitivity. this may sound strange but a 5c piece i find is just as valuable to me as a gold ring. so i dont wanna miss out on any decimal coins. i also collect coins so i know most predecimal aussie coins have 50% 80% or 92.5% silver value. but i like the pennies. also i really want to get out into the bush and go hunting for a couple of kilo nuggests! hehehee i heard there is no gold to be found on the central coast as its a coal area. but i also heard that a guy in the 1800's found gold at wyong creek. so im not sure. does anybody have any info or second hand knowledge on any gold found on the central coast? i bought a fossicking permit for me and my wife so we can go into state forests and go a hunting. any advice is more than welcome please. thanks beau [/QUOTE]
