Where are all my fellow Aussies?

[Beach925]

Just wondering why the Aussie section of the site is so quiet?
Are there not many Aussies on here or are you all hoarding in secrecy?

Speak up!

You don't have to give away your location or where you have been hunting, but show us what you have been digging out of the dirt down under.

Pull up a stump, crack a tinnie and have a yarn.

I'm a lurker, 5 years now...only just joined officially yesterday. I used to have another account but decided to go legit I'm in Canberra, tan-bark and decimal coins are my mainstay. Only manage to get in 1-2 hours a week of MD if I'm lucky, toddler, work and new house keeps me busy the rest of the time :/

In my 1.45 hours of detecting in 2016 so far I've found $17.69 in decimal currency and one 1957 penny.

Bought a Garrett Euroace second hand, now looking at buying a TRX for pinpointing coins and to try popping. I dig a mighty neat plug with my 1940s garden spade, but by the time I've finished wombating it I may as well have used a fork. For many years I just did playgrounds with tanbark as they were easy digging and easy pickings...so no need for a pinpointer. But lately have found some easier to dig parks and a pinpointer is now a must-have.

I started out with a Nugget Snoop Pro - a great machine that I'll sadly be parting with to fund the TRX. Or maybe I'll keep it as my beach machine, not sure yet. Actually I started out at about 9 years old with my mum's early Minelab machine hitting WWII sites and beaches in North Queensland. But I was too young to appreciate the time and locations I had available...ah to turn back time.

That's my story to date, who's next?

Hey, if you have a 4.5" sniper coil I'll buy it

 

[mercinarie]

Nah mate don't have one

 

[Yehuwdiy]

All good, hope you enjoy the new machine - moving up for any specific reason?

 

[mercinarie]

Better machines = more finds

Hey guys. Not sure where everyone is. Been wondering that myself. I think since facebook has taken over alot of people have moved to posting on there.
But i prefer tnet. Alot more interraction with workd wide users.
I have been active a few years but have seen the aussie section twindle along.
I have been into treasure hunting and metal detecting for the past 10 years. I also prospect and fossick. Living in Sydney i dont get alot of time to get out and about and now spend most of my time researching treasure leads here and abroad
