hello from toowoomba

[rick1111082]

Hi huys thought I would introduce myself, My name is Ricky I live in Toowoomba QLD. I have only just got into this hobby after picking up a garrett at pro international from cash converters for $475. I got into it because my father has been doing it for years and has came across some great finds.

I'm only new and to date have only picked up $13 some nice little trinckets and a 1936 king george penny.

Hi Rick.
Welcome to the forum. Good machine the At Pro. I have one. You paid under half price of a new one so well done on that.
I hope you find the info on the forum helpful.

Cheers
