Hi guys, i've been looking around for a cheap beach scoop and until i save enough $ to buy a nice stainless one i'll buy one of these. Now i know that the picture is pink, but they come in all different colours...and for only $9.95. Grab a drill and bung in a bunch of holes and there you go...

Just an update....got the tent home...set it up and noticed that a couple of seams where the poles go had started to split. Back down to Aldi for a full refund....owned it for about an hour :(

Yep...that sucks...but that's the game we play :)

I usually don't dig that much...although it was a nice signal in the silver range and was very little trash around. Also the fact it indicated it had some depth where quite a few of the others were on the shallow side made me think it may be an old silver. In pinpoint mode it had a nice short...

Went for a quick swing last night for around an hour. All up around 19 coins although only totaled up to $4.60 I did end up with my second ever sixpence. This time a 1955. And i also found a pendant, not sure if the stones are real although it is sterling silver and stamped 925 on the back...

There was an adventure ridge metal detector from aldi come out a while back that quite a few liked...we'll now they have a tent...on sale today for $70 4 person + extended vestibule for storage...haven't opened it yet but for $70 it's worth a try. That's all :)

I do too mate...its in great condition. All my other coppers I've found have always had a load of bumps on them. I clean then up with a light wire brush and a quick polish all with the dremel.

All coins were around the 4 inch mark. Although the half penny may have been a bit shallower.

Hi all. I read this site quite a bit, although don't post much. I found a couple of pre-decs last night and a amusement token down at one of my local parks. 2 x 1911 penny 1 x 1943 half penny 1 x pjp amusement token enjoy 1911 is the oldest coin i have found...and both were found...

where are you located kemjak?

Well, it wasn't today, but Friday i bought myself a 7.5Khz WOT coil. I've been on the lookout for one for a while and i ended up picking this one up second hand in excellent condition :) First outing netted me $26!

Thanks Jaros, I'm in south east suburbs of Melbourne.

I've been to a park maybe 4 times over the last 2 weeks and been able to pull around $50 of moderns out of the ground, which has been great :) Although last night i got onto a patch just as the sun was disappearing. I managed to find a 1947 penny, 1952 penny and a 1963 half penny :) I was so...

Well...been using the detector a bit recently. Bought it last September and found the loot wasn't piling up too much (maybe $90 in 3 months)....then it sat in the corner of the garage all summer. Went to Thailand for a holiday and after getting back decided to give the x-terra another run and...

I currently own a Minelab x-terra 705 and have been doing a lot of park hunting. With the 705 the signal for a gold coin comes up as the same or similar as a screw cap, although i've generally been able to tell the difference by the higher pitch with the pinpoint tone. After doing a bit of...
