    Bushwalking in search of mines

    Looks a lot like my area SW of Ballarat. I've found drums and barrels in 95% of the shafts around here (approx. 300 found so far), some of the shafts I've come across take a serious amount of bush bashing/4wding to get close enough to drop heavy items down.

    1M coils?

    Like most people that prospect and have seen the "meteorite men" show I've developed an interested in the large coil set up they use. Basically I want to make one, but.........I'm no expert.
