Hi all Tried a new spot closer to home. I spent more time building a dam for the sluice than digging. But I did find my best pieces so far. I took the detector with me for fun and found a piece of metal on the trailing edge of a gravel pile. I was debating whether to start running that stuff...

Hi all Headed to tongio west for the weekend. A mate and I plus the kids rabbit had a cracker weekend. Not long enough to fit all the activities in though. Had bit of a pan and eventually found some running water to feed the sluice. Did 3/4 of a crevice and a couple of dry dirt runs. Maybe a...

Howdy I'm sure people use detectors on fallen trees and around the roots but does anyone dig out the dirt from fallen tree roots and stumps? Then pan I was out with the family for a drive out bush and saw trees down that still had clay and gravel in the root/stump and wondered if there may be...
