Detecting in South Africa

Hi Silki, Viking.....

I am here.... I posted earlier but it seems to have disappeared..... Maybe because I posted in another area also..... but anyway what can I say  I have added all my bank notes onto my website under the hobbies section, go and take a look.....

We do have another person following us, he contacted me and we spoke today... He lives in Randburg, Gauteng and was wondering about our little club.... well I will give him a visit probably next week and see what we can do.....
This Saturday, I am going on a trip with Xavier so should be fun... not 100% sure where we are going yet, but who cares as long as there are gold coins with my picture on them 

Silki, keep searching, you will find what you are looking for..... I may have found a gold coin, but look at what Viking is finding.... I think in the long run, he is doing better than me with all those coins, buttons and buckles. He has found a great site, and you can also... Keep focused and use all the resources to find those places.

Hi Silki,

I know you are not jealous about my coin.... But it is nice when a person can start to find some good stuff. I have not found much for quite some time.... and need to find something soon 

It is not so easy here in SA to find really good sites to detect on..... but perseverance will prevail 

As for Zimbabwe, it is too dangerous at this time as the war vets are starting up again, and are taking over places again.... I would not go there at this time  Would love to find nuggets though.... Does anyone know how to go about getting prospecting licenses here in SA, and what they cost? Might be worth looking into.

As far as I know , for now , it is highly illegal to look for and collect raw gold , but this guy , George   - Minelab dealer , told me that he is organizing meeting with some officials to discuss mater of licensing for amateurs (?)  Will see !

Hi every one.
Good to see everybody keeping busy. Been a bit hectic this week but hoping to get out tomorrow and do a bit of detecting. If found a small field near a old 12th church which looks promising. hopefully the weather will keep fine and i could get a few hours under the belt.
I watched a documentry on the history channel about the british war in south africa. It was about them fighting the zulu's in natal somewhere.
The experts where trying to figure out what really happened there. They had a couple of people using their detectors getting all these old relics up out the ground and piecing everything together.
Viking i like the sound of the Mozambique wrecks. I bet there is loads of treasure waiting to be found.
Pgill hope you and xavier strike it lucky this weekend. Maybe you could find the rest of your lost gold coins.
Could anybody tell me if there are any laws regarding metal detecting there, i know its not as big as the uk or america. I know here you have to declare certain items to the state.
