I looked at what other forumites were using for beach shovels and did the Bunnings buy. Also saw the small scoop at Bunnings for $2.20 so here it is with some holes in it as well.

Hey Tone - any room left in your man-cave now. You are one clever bloke. Please tell me you do home-brewing - if not - your talents are wasted.
 
excellant stuff mate.
I have a Triton saw table and router table, very handy gear to have.
Loamer I used to brew years ago, when I was a tad younger, and thinner.

Redfin - do your remember Andy Capp home brew? the old man use to brew it and keep it in my wardrobe to let it settle down - used to blow up all the friggin time. I smelt like an old alcho. hmmmmmmmmmmm - beer.
 
Loamer. I used to home brew in the late 80's.. living in Bris at the time. I lived with a couple of blokes i was in the army with. We used to run two brewers at a time. It would take a week to be ready due to geat. So we just filtered into another barrel.put in a couple of kilos of sugar andvthe a day or so later we would put the unit in the fridge.. drink it straight out the barrel.. we did test it once with a hydrometer and it was about 8.5 -9%. It got us sh!tfaced.. and leave you with a hangover like no other i have ever experienced... 8)
 
Rooster Booster for the 4500 - going to check some deep iffy signals with a bigger coil in the next couple of days. even a 5% increase may make me half a chance. plus you can turn the whole lot off when starting up, planes overhead etc.
 
A green plastic shovel for beach metal detecting from Bunnings at $48.50
Same shovel that is used in the Frederick Barnes Utube videos.
 
Couple of axe handles.
I'm sick of using crap tools.
From a clean up job, scored a couple of Hytest axe heads. One, a Craftsman & the other a Racing axe :D
This all eventuated after fitting a new handle to my hatchet last week, which I found out is a Keesteel brand(quite desirable & holds an edge well).

Will post up some pics from the axes once they is all sharpened, handles fitted, oiled & looking pretty
 
1952 'Handbook on Prospecting in SA' - issued by the Dept of Mines - SA. Didn't even know it existed. Soft cover - a wee bit fragile but in good nick.
1971 'Historic Guide to Bendigo - with map of goldfields, streets, lines of reef and principal shafts'. The Royal Historical Society of Vic. Mainly bought it for the map but a pretty good read as well I might add.
