Hi all, I've been watching this forum for some time, enjoying it heaps. Taken the leap, got a detector and looking for someone to help speed the learning process up. If anyone is interested in helping out, let me know. Cheers, macman

Went last night, it was great, and of course lucky enough to see Jason dig up the half crown. I think it will take some time to make sense of the 5000...
But working a bit out and finding a bit of trash, off to the w/ coast next week for a play around over there. Fingers crossed for good weather, cheers
