So I went to dalgetty over Christmas. Unfortunately I didn't have much opportunity to detect unhindered by children, but I managed to find a couple items. My favourite an old lighter. I also found a silver backed mother of pearl button, a crappy 70s style male ring, two bullet fragments one a...

Hi guys, I am heading up to sydney later this week, going to be staying at least a week but perhaps up to two weeks. I will be staying in bondi , And hope to go detecting around the area while I am there. Bondi itself seems to be heavily hit so was gonna look abroad so to speak. :). I am...

So, I am sure many of us have been approached by strangers while we are detecting. Random kids wanting to tag along, people asking questions etc. for the most part I don't mind, not a fan of being hounded by kids tho as I go out to escape my own children and the last thing I want is to be...

Hi guys, I am going to be staying at dalgetty over the Christmas period. I was going to get a prospectors permit but notice that it only applies to state forests. The areas I was looking at (along the snowy river and around jindabyne - not in the national parks) are not classified as state...

Humans are filthy bastards, so much trash everywhere that each time I go out I feel like its clean up Australia day (I take the trash home with me and dispose of it properly). It's not that hard to use a bin or to take your trash with you....apathy and laziness, that's humanity's biggest problem...

Hi guys, I have been struggling to find info about metal detecting regulations in the ACT, does anyone know where I can find this info? Cheers

I signed up a couple days ago and thought it was time to say hello. I have never prospected but am currently in the process of buying a Fisher f2 metal detector. It seems like a great hobby to get me outdoors with the kids doing something fun and interesting. :) I'll mostly be detecting around...

Hi guys, complete novice here. :) I am currently tossing up between a Tesoro compadre and a fisher f2 for a newbie (me :) with bad hearing who wants to scout mostly parks and local lakes in Canberra, but also go nugget hunting in the snowies (on the very odd occasion, most of my time will be...
