Rocks, gems, GOLD, coins, antiques, restorers, collections and club contacts. There will be a FREE classified section in the back and a FREE contacts page as well. I will try my best to fit any NZ GOLD forum member in on request within reason. Dont be shy, just come forward. Even if you want to be simply known as a contact in your area. We are looking for advertisers, stories and pictures. Any feedback appreciated. Please reply for business by way of P.M. (private message).

Good on you Shane

Will be keen to see it succeed. Keywikiwi - If I lived closer I'd be around to get a lesson on Illustrator - I bought the Adobe Suite but haven't a clue how half of the programs work lol

The physical side of treasure hunting and the online time is a neat combination.

Me too Poohbear. Alot of work so far. All seems to be going well . I still have room for any forum members if they wish, in the FREE classified section. If your in a club, if you deal somehow with antiques or restorsation, GOLD supplies or equipment, a buisseness that needs a mention, metal detecting services, a website, a link or just a personal contact.

My dad has been writing short stories about his adventures with the gold fever illness for years. He types them on an old typewriter & has filled a couple of those clear page folders. Some are very entertaining & remind me alot of "Hammy's Gold" style of book, so I keep telling him he should publish them as a book as well. I'm planning on asking him to send me a folder so I can re-enter them on a computer & add relevant photos to each story. I'll see if he's interested in submitting some for your mag.
