Cold weathers ok up there.

The creeks only freeze over a few inches,
Just jump up and down on the ice till it breaks.

Thanks Bob, beats looking up an old mate.

Sounds like a weekend long project - we'll be rich.

That tiny little creek of ours has been flowing for about 5 or 6 weeks now, I wonder if that is worth looking at?

I doubt that there would be anything in it, get a shovel full and pan it off to see.

If a bloke wanted to get a metal detector and do some prospecting, how much would he have to spend on a decent one?

I think mine cost $2500ish, but you can hire them.

Can you use those things to find metal (nails) in your timber?

[Iain]

No, unless there is a 10 kilo nugget about 2mm under the dirt.
The big ones can be tuned and set to discriminate between ferrous and non ferrous metals, they can also be ground balanced and have a massive pair of coils whicj give them the depth they require.

Yes Groggy, they can detect nails in timber.

At Eltham Woodworking Club we are not permitted to
run old wood thru the thicknesser or the planer
without running the detector over it first.
