Not doing us any favours whatsoever.....

Definately not, specially in our kneck of the woods. Heard of a few new detectorists round here lately, one a young fella. Where did you see the dead turf, maybe pm me and let me know.

I use a shovel too... But it sharp ended of course. I plan on getting a side knife. AFTER I get the f2. I'll get it before a pin pointer. It's more important.

Where you in creamer? We might be hearing of the same people because I've seen a woman in her 40s with an e-trac with a Goliath coil. She uses a flat ended shovel.... That young fella might be me but I don't detect at parks so you will definitely not see me.... Lol.

Ha ha I just noticed! I might be going up north soon but not to the bay of plenty. And probably not detecting, as it's harder to get permission these days... Oh well.
