[QUOTE="BJ Bates, post: 137397, member: 4282"] All you blokes are wondering if there any idiots out there who would harm a detectorist or steal his gear, short memories for those who have forgotten!!! a detectorist by the name of Bruce.S from Cooktown was on the Palmer with a couple of his mates and bang no more Bruce?? never to be seen again...... the mongrels who supposedly did this are going through the courts, first time was in Dec 2014...adjourned to 2015??. I shouldn't have to teach how to suck eggs when I say that gold detectorists and landholders aren't necessarily bosom buddies when detectorists roam all over their properties without permission, as it happened, there is a breaking point. I have a mate who will not even step out side his door without a bang stick, or another mate has commented he will not detect alone, he sets up cameras in strategic places near his vehicle and a few other places for those coming and going.... I'd be a fool to ignore some of the low lifes checking out the vehicles.. where they come from only they know, but one thing is for sure the price of the new detectors is out there on top shelf..... no matter how much we think we have them all secure and locked up, think again, being extra careful only stops the honest bloke or blokette from straying across to the wrong side of the tracks. If you are in a dodgy area and are unsure of what or who are in the vicinity, go with a buddy get a set of cameras and give your self a head start on the establishment. Cheers Everyone BJ [/QUOTE]
