How does this saturday around 10am sound for a group hunt?
I was thinking of Craigavon park in between blockhouse bay and green bay. I Haven't tried there yet..... has anyone done a hunt there?

I've hunted there a bit Grubby, it's where I found my 18ct gold ring not long ago, also the paua ring and a silver ring there.. only ever found one silver 3d there. The park is very very trashy plus from what I have heard from old men in the park it seems it has been extensively hunted over the years. I'm only a couple of streets away from there if you're keen to meet up any time for a hunt .. this weekend not sure though as have Big Boys Toys to go to with the mrs. but if you're free weekdays/afternoons I can be convinced depending on shifts.

Mate, I would love to get out for a hunt during the week but I work ten hours a day and have three kids so its de weekends for me. Occasionally I get a week day off but I cant see any this side of 2014.

I would be keen on Sunday afternoon too as the mrs will be taking our 3 year old to the glenbrook railway thomas the tank engine thing so it'd be perfect.
