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...

Noticed an interesting phenomenon with my Tracker IV today. 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...

And to think I almost disregarded the signal as trash And there was no shortage of spendables - I like this park :)

Cleaning out the old blokes hoarding hellhole and i found a small cache of pre-decimal silvers. What do you folk typically do with silver coins - keep, sell as is, sell as bulk silver? thanks

Not sure if you're aware but http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/ has a nice feature where you can switch between 1943 aerial photography and modern day imagery. In doing so I found some interesting cutouts in what is now a bush area near me... But what the heck are these cutouts - looks almost like peat...

An intersting pictorial - kinda glad we live in the lap of luxury http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-08-01/mining-for-gold-in-sudan-photo-gallery/4858016

Whenever its warm & sunny I head down from Sydney to Austinmer - the beach is lovely & clean, beautiful for swimming etc, so being a lovely sunny winter day I headed down to try ,y luck at Coledale & Austinmer - bah humbug, why are these beaches so clean :( I found 10c on the top of the sand at...

Not exactly record breaking - tonight was my cherry run. Hit the grass around the local netball courts. Too many foil tops of Gatorade :( No coins, no jewellery - the obligatory ring pulls and a little something else

So having purchased a Bounty Tracker (still on its way) the next question is transporting it. As I ride a motorbike more than I drive can it be partially dissambled - is a bit of bounce going to kill it? If its in the back of the 4WD does it require a padded case? All the time or only if...

Tomorrow is payday so I will be ordering my Bounty Hunter IV for some coining and relic hunting, first task apparently is to locate the dearly beloveds earring in the back yard then its off to the local park - 32 netball courts surrounded by grass, 4 ovals - I hope its virgin territory!

They have a few Bountys for sale and as the purchase date (pay day) is drawing nearer trying to see what the best deals around are, probably going the Bounty Tracker IV thanks to tips & advice from on this forum and based on my expectations / usage. This is there ebay shop...

Old beasty spotted for sale at $60 - is it worth it?

So I was looking at this LPMA about Crown Land allocation and trying to ascertain where I can & can't poke around Some of it is labelled access, some public recreation (sounds ok), some for future public use Where can I dig / fossick?

Looking at these as an entry level device for coin / relic and maybe even swinging it around the Turon / Hill End area 1. Is there a local supplier 2. I am leaning towards the Discovery over the Tracker - anyone care to educate / correct / guide me :) Thanks

Hi folks, looking at starting to do a bit of coin / relic hunting and getting very encouraged from what I am reading on this site. Some nice parks around my area (SW Sydney) with ovals and netball courts that are bound to have plenty of rubbish and maybe even some good stuff. Need to work out...
