Hey gang. Has anyone had experience metal detecting before?

I am looking at getting a kit from here ;
http://www.garrettaustralia.com.au/ace-250-sports-pack/

My wife wants me to go for a walk every week and so far, its good cause I need to get out, but a walk along a beach feels lame to me unless it has a purpose greater than 'its for your helth'. I recall at the Gold Coast people would metal detect along the beaches and noticed no one does it where I am in cq (or they are ninjas).

So if anyone has some experience or advise on what to do or the kit I am looking at, please add some comments.

Note. This is not to find the holy chalice of health or wealth but to knock about every Sunday morning for an hour.

Well I got a Metal Detector and look at all the cool junk I find

Overall a few coins, and junk;

go search the old ww2 air fields up there..

I am just getting clued into it all. Turns out its not as easy as waving it around and digging shite up. Plus I am short gear. I now have a full beach kit which has me clocking through the local beach very fast, but to do parks and rocky areas / bush I am shite out of luck as I have no mine rock hammers and digging tools yet. Bunnings will be raided soon though along with the local camping stores

Looks like gear from fallout, you got enough there to buy a slab of nuka cola

Could get a stimpack or two for the tent stakes I reckon

Hahaha - I wonder what I would get for the latest thing I found, but left behind as it was too heavy;



This is similar to what I found, it was still attached to part of the hoe and I assume it snapped off behind a bull dover. Was about as long as my arm and took me 30 mins to dig out as it was wedged in a creek bed in a urban development site. Weighed probably 10 to 15 KGs.

Cant tell how big it is. Could you put youre hand or something next to it please?

[Syklone]

Tooth was 15 to 20 cm long attached to steel with a rusty nut n bolt making it a total length of maybe 30cm or my fore arm. And was fucking weighty enough that I couldn't be fucked carrying it with the rest of my gear.

So that's why I never have enough tent pegs!
