Or rather, see if my Hagley luck continues. But I won't be able to get there until about 6:30-7:00.

I think expat wants to show us how well his new detector works. Probably finds stuff right under the earth were standing on! OMG. Cheers Mike.

Whites DFX. A dual frequency machine. Over the years I've had probably five or six Whites machines so I'm a bit brand loyal. Interesting to see how it copes with Hagley.

Def keen for another time, maybe a club meeting?

Not long to go now.. I feel like a crack-head about to get his next fix.. I made myself a 'test' find pouch last night out of one of those re-usable bags like Supermarkets/etc have, hand stitched and all.. Never thought of myself as much of a needle-and-thread fella, but being honest 'hand stitched' in this case refers to 'cheap' not 'quality', lol.. Might get a friend to whip up a light-weight canvas jobby on her sewing machine when I find a style I like. Should be better than carrying a whole shopping bag around tonight though.
