Do we still wanna meet at 7.30pm (Papanui Workingmens Club-Sawyers Arms Rd)) or do we make it a bit earlier, say 6-6.30pm to allow some time for the items recovery mission afterwards? Either or I'm cool.
		There's another to find and I'm gunna find it!

Pretty sure that most will arrive at the usual time. I'm probably only going to get a couple hours searching absolute max, as I have to work hard next day to keep my wife in hair products. You'll probably need help in the carpark outside to unload your finds this month won't you? Give me a shout if you need me.
		My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

Least we're all pretty relaxed about it. Coupla hours hunting after will be awesome...I see Papanui Domain just down the same road has been around a long while... Simon, if you can give a hand to get the stuff off the trailer will be awesome cheers :-P Jason

I also think the park in papanui has been there a while. Might go out in morning as havnt been out for a couple of weeks. That way I should have a few more rings to show. Ha Ha Ha. Watching F1 qualifying at midnight so who knows. Cheers Mike.

Anyone else who wants to go early is quite welcome to join me there.

Thanks for making me feel welcome. Also interesting seeing all the different model detectors in action - going to have to give one of these Fishers some consideration... quite envious how much lighter they are than my Minelab and the fact they run off 9v batteries instead of a huge battery pack!! ;)
