Timbo here, I was introduced to detecting by Davey boy (Dave's office) and bought his old 5000.
Travelled down to Victoria and had my first crack.
Eureka there's gold in them there hills
Well done Timbo...not many can say that they picked up gold on their first outing but you have the machine that will deliver the goods. Dave probably has given you some sound advice as well. Good luck on the next hunt...Wal.
RightO Timmy, now we've got to get serious about a detecting trip together, might be like watching Geelong and Collingwood battle out their qualifying final next Saturday, it'll be pretty competitive.
