    Virgin Ground!

    Hi Guys. Been a long time since I've posted anything on here, but thought this was of note. I decided to try a spot that I have dismissed for a while thinking to myself that it would have been pounded by every man and his dog. Boy, was I wrong.. You know that feeling you get when you realise...

    New hunting grounds.

    I have been flat out since Easter and haven't had a chance to get out but today was the day. I was given a tip-off last year from an old fellow that had seen me detecting early one morning and he came over and initiated a conversation. At the time, in my arrogance, I thought, "oh God, here we...

    The Explorer's magic button

    Went out to my old faithful park which I have flogged to death over the last year looking for pre decs. To date, I have pulled over 100 coins from this locations but finds are getting thin now. I knew if I had any chance I would have to set the Explorer up differently. I have always just set the...

    Full day hunt last Sunday

    Had the opportunity for a full day hunt last Sunday. 2 locations that are both permissions that I'm certain nobody has hunted before. 4th time I've hunted there with similar results. I used my Tesoro Compadre all day and discriminated anything under 20c after lunch. Must have done 500 squats or...

    Something different

    Yesterday's hunt was a bit of a failure. I had been looking for new hunting grounds that could possibly hold pre decs. After researching a site and making a visual inspection during the week, I was sure I'd cracked it. After 3 hours with a single $1 coin in my finds pocket I was heading back to...

    Does anybody know what this is? Tried researching on the net but came up a blank. Interesting way of inscribing the date.

    Pre Dec hunt with Compadre

    I really like my Tesoro Compadre!!! I purchased it for one job only,,,,, to hunt pre decs in trashy parks and it never disappoints. I have the model with 8 inch coil and I'm constantly left shaking my head in amasement at the depth capabilities and the accuracy of the discriminator. Got these...

    Don't buy a house under power cables unless you want to fry your brain

    Pre decs found right under high voltage. 2nd pic is the same park but 50 metres from the wires.

    Beach hunt with Garrett Sea Hunter

    I see Goldpick and I must have had the same idea. He dusted off his Infinium and headed to a beach in Melbourne. I dusted of my Sea Hunter and headed to Wellington Point, Brisbane. This beach has a completely disintegrated iron swimming structure corroded to 1mm bits throughout the sand. Using a...

    towelly from Redlands, Brisbane

    Hi everyone. I've been following this forum for a while without posting but decided to get involved. Learned heaps and enjoy reading the different opinions on detecting topics. I'm a coin and jewellery hunter who dreams about having a crack at gold in the near future. I'm sure this is the...
