    I agree with that mate. I was pretty excited. I can't see myself finding any pre dec on the beach though unfortunately. Will be keeping first cap and first spendable for sure. Going to a different beach this afternoon.. Still not comfortable with the looks I'm getting but I'll work through it...

    Hey guys, So I had my first hunt this afternoon. Needless to say results weren't as pleasing as I maybe thought hitting up the most popular beach. My issue was that I couldn't get control of the pinging on the wet sand.. It just kept going off.. Anyone have any tips on how to adjust it for wet...

    Hello from Coffs

    Cheers guys. Haven't actually got myself a weapon yet but very interested in the Garrett AT pro... I believe it should suit everything that I'll want to do. One question though..

    Hello from Coffs

    Hey all, Have really taken an interest in collecting of late and thought I'd have a crack at metal detecting... I've heard that the hills around these parts have plenty of history around them. So pretty keen to hit the hills and the beaches. Cheers.
