    Hi from Adelaide, South Australia

    G'Day all. Sam here from Adelaide. New to prospecting and metal detectors. I have had an old 2001 Bounty Hunter Tracker IV for ages that has only found me junk and some loose change on the beach. I recently built a small stream sluice and a small 12v recirculating sluice box. I have found small...
