Stay away from the golf course, the playing fields and the botanical gardens.

If you're still on the hole-digging learning curve, or don't have a good pinpointer yet, try to stick to areas where the grass is pretty crappy, or there isn't any.

Once you've learnt the tricks to allow you to dig holes that disappear once you've replaced the grass plug, you should be able to venture into the nicer grass areas without pissing anyone important off.

If you're learning, it might be worthwhile hooking up with someone more experienced, so you can see how it's done.

You need a pointer, for your sanity and damage control on your digging.

Where and when? Just checked with the missus and she's given the green light :)......I was thinking about meeting opposite the stockyards about 6.15/30 and going from there.

Weather is starting to look a bit dodge, but I'm pretty keen to get out. If it's not raining or too windy, I'll be there.

Foiled, didn't you just find some gold the other day? I'm sure it's my turn, lol.
