Hey Pgill

Where theres one there might be more. Was it in a isolated spot or where there has been lots of activity. The poor person who lost that must have been gutted. Viking i think i might have caught a bit of your stomach bug,havent been too good today.
Been in contact with some clubs but they have long waiting lists to join. So i will be concentrating on the beach till i can get on some farm land. The only downside is i have to buy a permit to use the beach,its ?15 a year.

It does suck with the waiting list.
A lot has to do with the fact that it seems if your face doesnt fit then you have no chance.
Just got a email from a bloke who started the original club here and he is thinking of doing a new one soon. Hopefully it will be up and running in the near future.
I wouldnt mind a couple of those gold coins myself.

Viking,

Tha Garrett is back and working lekker now Great

went to the African Kraal site today to test it out..... fantastic little machine.... I think it smells gold coins also Wise

gautenglion,

The place where I found the coin had Boer war activity, so it belonged to a soldier (Months wages at the time) No no!

He must of cried all day long after losing that.....
As for waiting to join a club Funny

that is a joke..... How do they run clubs over there, that they have waiting lists..... Now I am confused Huh?

Yip that's the way. It's not everyone that finds a gold coin , but it's all the cool things you find while you are out looking for one....IMOA.
Find a promising piece of land and approach the farmer..... rather pay him the 15 quid and give him first option/50% or what ever.

Pgill
I think they only have a certain amount of members and then close it to any new members. So you put your name down and then wait for a opening. I think i will try a few farms and try and get permission, i might just get lucky with one of them. The hard part is getting permission,but once you get it from one farmer then the hard parts done.
There are a few open pieces of land near me that i can give a go. Its next to a little river and near a 400 year old church so i might find something interesting there.
