Hi All,

Due to change of plans, i will be shifting to Perth, Australia in a very short period
So i will no longer need my website for metal detecting services,
Domain Authority www.metaldetecting.co.nz :12
Domain is managed and hosted by Domainz and i have just paid for another year.

I Would consider a reasonable offer for the site that is rank #1 search for metal detecting in NZ Google

Please call me 0272766257 or email or PM whatever will suit you.

regards,
Max

Oooo... sounds like an adventure! So is that in search of gold?

I've always enjoyed Perth - I'm sure you'll love it :)

Do you mean to say that you are turning traitor and Rushin off across the ditch - thats disgusting!

I for one wish you the very best of luck and hope that you keep on contributing here - knowing you then I think it wont be long before your success stories empty Kiwiland of detectorists and Australia's detecting population doubles in size.

Good luck...watch the aborigines - they eat white men. Tastes better than Goanna and Witchitty grubs...Oh and watch the snakes - they dont eat you but they poison you to death...I forgot the scorpions - they bite too but dont worry about it as you wont feel too bad - you will just wake up dead next morning.

And if you want to cuddle anything its better to cuddle Koalas - Australian sheilas are bad news...something to do with crustaceans.

And keep away from dingos - most of them have got rabies and have a tendency to bite people. If you go down Tassie then keep a watch out for Tasmanian Tigers - they say that they are extinct but the only reason that people think that is because anyone and everyone who has seen them has never got back to tell the tale.

Other than that Aussies a great place to live - the beers not as good as here though and the gun barrel highways a bit monotonous - in fact its so far to the first bend that when you get to it you will have forgotten how to steer the car! And two out of every three people to go detecting in the outback usually die of thirst - but dont worry about that because the rewards can be well worth taking the risk...who wants gold rings when the gold nuggets weight several kilograms.

Yep - its a great place.

Have to admit this doesn't come as a surprise, had a feeling it was on the cards.

Best of luck fella - always taken an interest in your posts as we joined roughly the same time, so it's been cool seeing how good you have become and how much effort you have put into the hobby..... now you're just tooooo good so at least you will be giving other northies a chance (if there is anything left to find).

Look forward to seeing your Aussie finds.

I hope that this no longer means you want my GPX at a second hand price since you will be able to take your pick of Aussie seconds. Good luck, be careful, get a personal gps system if you go out by yourself. Do not think Aussie is anything like NZ, it isn't, the wildlife will kill you like a shot. Keep your wits up and your coil low....I am sure you will do great.

Hi. Having met drunkbrother in auckland for a chat one evening over a year ago I can testify to the compassion he has for the hobby. He is a great fella and good company. All the best wishes from christchurch. Be good to see you stay with the forum as you input would be missed.
If I ever make it to perth I would certainly look you up for a coffee.

Cheers Mike.
