[QUOTE="spatch, post: 209505, member: 6451"] Turns out the Father in Law has a el-cheapo detector (GC-1026)??? he was happy for us to borrow for a bit. After a bit of testing how different coins come up in the vegie patch (and finding a rusty old nail) we were off down the local park. After an hour or so all we had were a few ring pulls and bottle tops, so we packed up shop and went in search of big treasure at the local beach! 10-15mins of detecting and two Corona lids later, EUREKA! We hit the big time with our first coin - a 5c piece :P Then, BANG, a dodgy el-cheapo metal child's ring... :lol: The young bloke was temporarily hooked. Packed up about 20mins later as that was all we had time for this time around. The young bloke hung in there for the most part but got a bit sick of it toward the end when the wind picked up and it started getting a bit chilly for him. Our adventures will continue, and we're 5c closer to our own detector! :) [/QUOTE]
