Hi all,

My name is Ken and I live in Christchurch.

I have had an Etrac for a couple of years but have had very little use out of it so far (Bad back keeping my from roaming too far) - back is now mostly better and I am keen as mustard to get a few digs under my belt.

I guess I am looking more to do parks and beaches for 'gold' rather than looking for the real thing.

If anyone couple please point me to anywhere I can get a lesche tool in NZ I would be most grateful. The trowels from bunnings just dont look they will cut it :)

Also, if anyone from Chch has any tips or tricks, I would love to learn a bit - even to join someone thats knows what they are doing for a wee fossick would be ace.


Cheers!!!
