Hi all, I'm from Wagga Wagga.

[Rowdy Relic]

Just talking to my dad about all stuff detecting and thought I'd join the discussion. I'm from Wagga Wagga, I know nothing but will be pleased to read all the stuff you guys and gals do in your pursuit of the yellow stuff. I love the outdoors, and being in the bush and I really do hope to do more of it as time goes by. Don't have a detector yet, although we, dad and I have been looking at different ones lately. I look forward to reading all your stuff........Happy swingin'.

Hi Rowdy, fellow waggarian here

You found the right place. I'm a recent newbie too and I've learned heaps from the members on this forum.

Look out the Wagga lads are growing
Sorry I'm a forest hill billy lol

 

[Rowdy Relic]

I have to find a metal detector I can afford first then you might find me around guys

 

[Rowdy Relic]

Any places you guys think I should try first.

 

[Stoney]

Let me know when you get a detector, i have a couple of spots near lake Albert for relic hunting, your welcome to tag along.

I'm still a newbie when it comes to gold.
But you have Adelong and Tumbarumba area.

I just got some panning equipment, I'm planning on hitting Weejasper soon.
As well as Tumbarumba.
And later I'm planning on heading to Bendigo with stops at beechworth and Yackandandah.

 

[Rowdy Relic]

Thanks I might take you up on that offer stoney any idea of a good cheap detector and where in and around Wagga I can pick one up

 

[Mudguts]

Anaconda has some at the masters centre

Yeah Anaconda has a couple of x-terra detectors last time I was there.
I don't know much about them, but I'm sure a search on this site will help.

I just lined up a new place to search, it's out Big Springs way and was an airforce training bombing range in the forties.

I'm not sure what's there, but the guy who owns it has found heaps of training ordnance laying around.

 

[Rowdy Relic]

Big springs? No idea where that is.

 

[Stoney]

Big springs? No idea where that is.

It's only 15-20 min drive from Wagga, near Livingston Forrest.

 

[Rowdy Relic]

I used to have family who trained at the old uranquinty air base during the ww2 who may have used the bombing range. Might have to give it a run over myself when I get metal detector thanks for that.

 

[Stoney]

I worked for a few years at Kapooka military base, and I still know Colonel Hay.
I was considering asking him for permission to sweep a few sites on the base, but the amount of brass in the found their is just ridiculous.

Plus they probably wouldn't let me leave the base with anything.

 

[Stoney]

Ooh ooh, I also have a good mate who is related to the crowley's at Monte Cristo in Junee.
He is going to try and get us hooked up.

It would be a dream site if no one has ever gone over it with a detector.

 

[The Drifters]

We Wagga members should have a meet and greet maybe. We could use my workshop if anyone is interested.
