Well, our AGM and Xmas party was a great success. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say our first year was pretty damn good. We had a good turn out at the Bluebirds Sports Club, had a bit of a detect, a few beers, some good laughs, home made pizza and to top it of some lovely cakes. Thanks to Andrew and the ladies for bringing them along. Click here to have a look at some pictures from the day.

The address is  3330 Stanwell Waroula Road 4702 Alton Downs, Queensland, Australia. 2pm till Late.

Mt Larcom was the best turn out this year, with over 20 people attending for the monthly meeting. The club seems to be thriving at the moment as shown by the numbers attending. We held the official meeting at the Royal Hotel along with a couple of drinks and some lunch. We then headed across to the showgrounds for some detecting. Donnie Pascoe showed us some rock samples and what to look for when detecting for gold, he also buried a few pieces of gold in the ground to show people what to listen for and handed out some detecting advise to some of the members. I have added some pictures to the gallery, hope you enjoy.

November Club Meeting is at the Royal Hotel Mt Larcom at 11.30 am. We will be having a cold drink and lunch followed by the meeting. Then after it cools down a bit we are going for a detect at one of the local historical area’s of Mt Larcom.

We ventured up to the Mount on a very hot day, but we came away rewarded with a few nice old relics. One of particular interest was a 1902 German Gaming Token found by Mark. Here are a few pics from the mornings hunt.

 

Good little meeting we had on Saturday, the ground was as hard as concrete but some of us still managed to find a few nice little item’s.

Next club meeting is on Saturday the 6th of October at Anderson Park, Henry Fontaine Grove, Wandal Road. Would be good to see you guys there 2-4 pm.

 

 

What a great club detecting day we had, at a great location and awesome detectorists. The day was perfect you couldn’t ask for anything better. Thank you to the members for coming, especially to new member Brendan and new member to be Graham. Some very cool things were found, one of the best finds for the day was Tony Perham’s little bottle dump. Here are a few pictures from the day.

 

We had a good little turn out at Lyle Dobbs Park on Saturday. We had a bit of a chat and a detect for an hour or so, we were joined by one of our new member’s Brendan Atfield who was trying out his new Garrett AT Pro. I have added some pics to the Gallery,  thank’s Tony for the pictures.
