    Equinox 800 Airport Interference

    Cut the bottom out of one of their tents and wear it over top of you and the detector - and hey why not get some glamorous overalls at the same time https://hollandshielding.com/Faraday-tents-personal-protection-EMI-protection-shielding-pouches

    Warwick Farm NSW - Old Army staging camp

    So if you use SIX Maps and pull up the 1943 imagery you will find 100's of army tents in an orderly arrangement around Warwick Farm. I didn't think the racecourse would be happy with me swinging the detector around their paddock so i went the other side of the road into the bush ... Well I am...

    Metal Detectors around $500

    As someone in the market for a detector for Coin shooting parks: 65% Predecimal/relic : 33% Gold fields 2% Are any of these suitable for finding gold in those rare times I can look or do we need to consider something more like the Anfibio / Nox800

    Coin Shooting in bark

Coin shooting local park, discriminate at 12 o'clock where it rings for goldie's, which it did, went into bark chip covered play area relying on someone losing a coin on the swing or bars and nothing... Came back a while later and set...

    Buried Stash

    Definitely an Asian coin - i had hoped it was a holey dollar when i spotted it in the mix but alas it wasn't to be. The initial excitement of finding a stash was dampened by the lack of value within -the best bit for me was the 1921 hapenny

    Buried Stash

    Looks like someone's cast off jar was knicked and buried. Broken chain, crucifix, bangles that had some gold inlay <1g I'd say, small asian coins and 3 aus half pennies and a cameo brooch

    1943 Sydney Aerial Imagery

    Now I look at these images again it is possible they were small structures (based on shadows of other nearby items). They are about 10m across at the widest
