I've just heard that the Adelaide Miners Den stopped operating from today. Any info on this?

That's no good! What's going on with Minelab??
Ok just re-read, it's Miners Den closing down. Are Minelab themselves still in Adelaide?

Not surprised as detecting is highly restricted in many areas by the Department for Environment. Can't legally sell any gold u find.
Yes - went to their Mile End store yesterday - it was locked and all stock gone. So currently the city Minelab has its head office in (Adelaide) has no dedicated detector shop where you can go and review all their products and talk to a person who actual knows something about metal detectors and metal detecting. Looks like Minelab will be pushing for direct sales soon.
all miners dens are owed by trackline bendigo the watts famley

Have Detector Will Travel
Hopefully Coden will see the folly of thier decision to stop the smaller operators from selling their products. Although SA isn't a great state for gold detecting, we have vast areas of historical history and settlement for treasure and coin detecting as well as heaps of great beaches to access as well.
Sad news for our SA members.
I note on Minelab's website that they have a section titled "Become a Dealer" and there is a form to fill in to apply for dealership. It asks things like other brands a prospective dealer would stock.
So, there would still be some hoops to jump through, but an opening seems to still be there.

I think they've already gone down that path in the USA.
Isn’t Nenad in Adelaide? From what i have read and heard, there is not a better tech guy around, so fixing a detector should not be a problem or buying one for that matter. Support your local bloke.

Nenad no longer lists Minelab products on his website, not sure if he is still an agent.
Yes well aware of that fact for a month now but surely he would still repair them or suggest another brand of new tector.

I find Nenad the best person in SA to discuss things metal detecting.

yes exactly, and Minelab kicked him out as a dealer, you have to wonder about Codan/Minelab now days, FFS do they really think BCF and Anaconda can replace people like Nenad with good info and knowledge, I don't think so
