I'll have to check out Anaconda, as Mackay does now have one of them. Otherwise it's four hours plus to a minelab dealer. We do have a Garrett dealer and their customer service has been excellent. Matt T

If you and a few others got together and wrote a book on how to research, I would certainly want a copy! Matt T

Puddlers were the old timers way of breaking down clay. Leave some gravel in amoung your clay and add a little detergent and wash it till there is no clay balls. If you have a rock bottom (bedrock) make sure you clean it. Matt T

As a Newbie your first read would have to be "What to look for in the gold feilds" a thread in Metal detecting for gold. The first four or five pages are good information most of the next eight or nine pages are thanks to Loamer for posting! Matt T
