After having some success on my first ever detect where I found a nice cricket buckle as my second target (nothing to it really!) I bit the bullet and bought a Macro Multi Kruzer, and X pointer pro and one of those digging tools.
Jannine was pretty good about it, as I had only talked about it in general terms.
It was delivered to work today, while I was in Sydney. So I picked it up when I got in later this arvo. However, I think I have reached the limit of trading off my 60th birthday back in March.
Tomorrow will be the obligitory run around the back yard to get the hang of it. As my place was built inn 1880 there might be a few good targets, hopefully around the old stables where a few coins might have been dropped when old mate got home from the pub (wishful thinking, I know.)
Can't fault the advice and customer service from Nenad at Phase Techical, and kudos for Aussie Post for delivering to Goulburn from SA in three days.
