Nice one L/R. I'm liking the football fields at the moment.

Yes! Nice one Duck :) It wasn't until December 1914 that Australian surfing history is to have officially begun when the legendary Hawaiian Olympic champion, Duke Kahanamoku, re-introduced the sport of surfing to Australia. He was invited to give a surfboard riding exhibition, and promptly...

I should mention that the first person in question is an American. Medals were won in 1912 - 1xgold 1xsilver, 1920 - 2xGold and 1924 1xSilver I'll give some more clues if that doesn't help :)

All good mate :)

Who am I? I have won multiple olympic medals and am responsible for one of Australia's most famous sports. Bonus who am I... Who was the first documented Australian to participate in the sport?

Roast lamb and peas with a bottle of claret!

:lol: That's classic. I guess you'll find out whether your target retrieval is up to scratch also :P

A bit of science behind gold... Gold is found naturally occurring and at 100% purity thanks to it's electron structure. An atom of gold has 6 layers of orbiting electrons. The second to last layer has 18 electrons and the last layer has a single orbiting electron. Gold is discouraged from...

Photo quality is OK i guess....today's treasures and $80 minus smokes and rum ;)

Well another Saturday and another local high school plundered. Awesome day, the time passes so quick when you're on a roll. Today I bagged: *Six .925 rings. 21g total. 5 small ladies rings with cheapo looking stones and a nice chunky man ring that I'm wearing right now. *Two plain junk rings...

Can't post the links yet, but.. O Brother where art thou is a good movie and has a pretty good country/blues soundtrack Hayseed Dixie - A hillbilly tribute to AC/DC. Best country album ever.

Upgraded from el jaycar cheapo to a Minelab X-terra 305 last week and pretty much spent the weekend at the local high school. I love the x-terra and have pretty much dialled it in for school oval mode. I cut out all the lower frequency signals so I don't have to dig the pull tabs and I'm pretty...

Pretty amazing gold to silver coin ratio. That picnic are looks definitely well used. Did you find many coins around tables, benches etc. along with the ring pulls? I tend to steer clear of those places when there's a shipload of targets.

Hi all Well i finally fulfilled a long forgotten childhood dream and bought a metal detector. I've got a bit of spare time on my hands so I thought I'd put it to good use. I'm a bit cash strapped, hopefully not for too much longer ;) so I only bought the cheapest detector on the market, the...
