    Metal Detecting in Hot Weather

    Thanks Stayyer and sounds like a bloody challenge that's for sure. I used to work on the rail out of Hedland and know how much water you need and electrolytes are the go.

    Missing Prospectors & other Persons (WA) Western Australia

    Missing Prospectors & other Persons (WA) Western Australia
