I find that taking action pics are one of the rewarding sides of fossicking. Im always after that special shot. Not easy with a standard camera. Shane

I'm not allowed to take my camera out hunting. It's funny because it's not me who has drowned at least 8 phones! Sinks, toilets, rivers, washing machines, beer mugs if it holds liquid she will find a way of drowning something. (If she reads this I'll probably be next) 8^) Maybe it wasn't me I was worried about drowning my MD, but I got a waterproof one just in case! Nice pics PB good and clear not always an easy task even with a flash camera (no pun intended) Shane if anyone on here ever writes a MD book, they will know who to contact for the cover shots! Happy hunting guys! Edited by user Monday, 9 January 2012 5:14:09 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified*

My youngest daughter is 4 and you should see her face light up when she finds a coin with my pinpointer! Even a 10c coin brings an ear to ear beeming smile!

I was wondering where you got your tumbler from or if you still use that method of cleaning ? I tried putting a US one cent in White Vinegar ages ago and had to have a laugh as when I pulled it out it had holes like swiss cheese ~shrugs~
