Would love to see photos of the finds. I will be taking out a goldseeking PI to test out in Hagley in couple weeks but probably will find too much trash. Not above updating from ace150 for winter parks as well.. maybe a goldbug pro, atpro, or 705 would do both gold and relics if they all have target id number?

That's fine out in the bush hunting for nuggets, but in parks, it gets us all into trouble. Detector with pinpoint, followed by a pinpointer while digging is the way to go.

Looking at maybe Brighton in the morning,( low tide around 8am I think). I'll be just north of the pier if you keen.
