Hi all,

I've just signed up here. I am located in Taupo and I'm a very keen detectorist! I'm a member of the ringfinders directory and have had some very successful finds. http://theringfinders.com/blog/Tony.Duffy/

Just bought myself a Garrett AT Pro, and absolutely love it! Upgraded from ACE 250, which was a trusty workhorse. I've uploaded a short vid to youtube with my first use of it. http://youtu.be/_YFnyftWPoM

Anyway, looking forward to sharing war stories with you all.

T

Hi there T, Welcome to the site. A couple of good result stories there. Good on you. Thanks for sharing. Great vid too. Look forward to more from you.
Just to let you know....the site has a "gold only" related page, which is where you posted, & a seperate page for all other topics & detector finds outside of gold like coins, jewellery & relics etc .

Happy hunting

JW :)

Hi KiwiBandit, just moved your post as I think you're more in to non-gold specific detecting I'm guessing from your post? ;)
