Hello there, I have recently purchased a Garrett 250 and have gotten the detecting bug. Finds in last 3 weeks is a heap of iron junk around home (old villa but no coins at all!) Northam and Warren lipstick (1930's?) with remnants inside from Taranaki. 1934 shilling, cheap necklace and one copper earing, and $7.20 in spendables. Actually time searching so far is about 4 hours. Trying different places with permissions as well soon, and am trying to track down US Army camps during WWII out South Auckland. Anyway just a quick rundown and will post pictures when I get better finds.

Howdy, I'm pretty new too but I've got a book that shows all the US army base locations in and around Auckland. I'm happy to hunt and arrange some permissions up my way if you want to catch up. I haven't swung my minelab in like a decade and thought I'd get back into it :D I never really got into it so classify me as a total newbie :S
