Hello Silki,

Long time no hear Wink

hope that you are well? We do want to start something for us guys, all the whats and fors etc are still to be considered..... It is at this time to get us all in one place so that as SA guys we can share things and maybe in time to come, organise a get together somewhere.
Can you PM me with an actual email and I will send a file to you that you can put your deteails on so that we can make up a proper mail list....

Thanks, and great to see you around... have not spoken to you for some time.

Hi Silki

Glad you could make it.
No the detector is still giving me problems but I'm on it like a tic on a dog it's that damed coil in fact it's not only the coil it's also the electronics that is not giving me exactly what I want but I'm getting there no worry mate.

Regards Xavier

Good to hear from U - guys ! I am glad that we all still well - not being hijacked , assaulted or other " local" things ! I was trying lately to detect in some old school - abandoned in the bush but not feeling very safe alone ,and didnt find anything interesting ! Hope to "hit " some beaches after festive season , maybe will have more luck ! I think , it is good idea to try to get us togheter sometime - it is so few of us comparing with other countries !

Go to reply at the bottom of the page you will see attachments click on browse find the photo that you want to post and click on open and you're done but do resize the photo before posting 600 x 800 is good.

Hey Xavier, you're quite the McGyver there....what is that you're building. I am building a diy cnc router.....for like the last year lol!
Love stuff like this!
If you have a chance you can check my website which is now up. metaldetect.co.za and I have a blog at beachhunter.co.za. Did my first post today, it is a bit off topic but may be useful to thunters in South Africa.
To Silki
Welcome aboard, if you are keen on hunting in Cape Town I can let you know when next I go out. Not sure where you are located though.

Hi Silki , okay I checked your profile , Mpumalanga is probably a bit too far for a morning of beach hunting in Cape Town.lol!
But if you ever come to Cape Town you can come for a hunt with me, this obviously goes to the rest of you thunters out there too.

In the downloads section under Miscellaneous there is a software program that runs under Windows and shrinks your images either one by one or in bulk while leaving the original intact. Go here and download it free.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
