[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 420598, member: 8209"] Hi Walshie, I follow detectorprospector forum pretty closely and a member called kiwijw (John Wilson) is always heading out detecting and gets lots of little bits of yellow. He has got bigger bits over the years but he's regular haunts are only giving up smaller bits now. He has used many PI's/VLF's but now mostly uses a GPZ and a monster. Worth going to the forum and having a look at his posts. He would post a trip report almost fortnightly and the pics he takes of the surrounding countryside are incredible. He also talks about conditions, snow, seasons, rugged terrain, different localities, the amount of lead shot he finds, etc. You will probably learn most of what you want to know from reading his trip reports. My gut feeling is that the hassle of taking your Z may not be worth it for the potential finds, the remote localities you may need to walk into and the amount of time you are going to be 'allowed' to swing the 'tector :o John is a very forthcoming fella and will write essays in response to questions to him. You could do worse things than joining up and shooting him a PM. Or I could ask him if you can shoot him an email? [/QUOTE]
