G0lddigg, well I hope my path is paved with gold hahaha - cheers mate!
Jaros - cheers for your advice mate, I have been looking at the Petrie area and also Brisbane City itself. I'm unsure if I can detect on the foreshore in the city, haha if the tides go out. I was also looking at Bribie Island. Would you recommend any books? Big thank you for your advice mate.
Yobskin - Cheers for your advise, yeah I read about Warwick. I might have a day trip up there in the future, once I'm comfortable with my new detector
