    Members,no need to state your age,just vote and the stats will show.At the moment the age group just under fifty is slightly ahead of the 51 to 60 section.This may only mean that the older age group are the ones who have voted and the younger guy havn't bothered.

    I have been detecting for just under 20 years and love finding old coins and relics on the gold fields. Best finds so far are an 1863 Victoria Shield Gold Sovereign and a 1861 Sydney Mint Half Sovereign. I'm using the Minelab X-terra 705 at the moment and it's murder on the small stuff.

    Congrats, Snowy.

    It is nice to be still vertical isn't it. I sometimes wonder, though. ::)

    I thought about the V3i , but it looked just TOO hard. Chose the DFX instead, & love it.

    You're a bit younger, so your brain can probably handle the V3i. ;)

    Good luck with it, & hope to see some good posts soon. :D
