I have a brother in Queenstown so get down there a few times a year. Am planning a trip down the west coast and through central in a month or so....probably next school holidays as the family are too worried about earthquakes to stay home without me. Be a good time to get away too as my house is getting new piles, foundations, outer walls, inner walls, floors and ceilings! I dont really want to see my most valued asset naked. :(

While I agree it would be cool...I think that too many and too much will end up screwing it for evry body as the mess grows the holes grow and people start to notice more and more. Thats when complaints reach councils and the kill joys put the kibosh on things. Enjoy the hobby guys but don;t shoot yaself's in the foot by over doing things.

If we found the right spot where it didn;t matter I'm sure a heap of us would be no prob ...it'd be like some of those english detecting mass hunts they do...cept we won;t be finding roman and celtic stuff. We could still drink beer and slaughter cooked sausages tho!!
