Hi. Does anyone know any good (safe) areas in Natal to go gold detecting?
North coast region?
Hi Arno,
Remember to also ask club members on the Facebook page.
Rich.
Koos van Walvisbaai. Se’ my is jy tevrede met AT PRO? Ek stel belang om een te koop. Ek wil graag net weet> Groete daar.
Hi Andre,
Ek is seker nie die beste persoon om jou te antwoord nie, dis my eerste detector, ek het geen experience met ander detetctors nie en kan nie se of dit beter of slegter is nie. Ek het heelwat reviews gelees voor ek gekoop het en daar was punte vir en teen. Ek is seker hier is ‘n heel paar ouens wat jou beter sal kan help, maar onder is my redes hoekom ek gekoop het,
1) Garrett is ‘n bekende naam, en goeie kwaliteit en as ek probleme optel weet ek daar is mense wat sal kan help.
2) Dis ‘n all purpose, all terrain scanner. Wat ek hiervan hou is dat dit ook ge-ontwerp is om langs die see en in die vlak branders te werk, of in reviere. As jy net iets spesifiek soek soos goud, dan is daar ander scanners wat beter sal werk.
3) Dit het ‘n hele klomp settings wat jy kan stel, om net te konsentreer op spesifieke goed wat jy soek. Vir ‘n beginner soos ek is dit bietjie complicated maar dit gee jou baie opsies.
4) Wat jy kry vir die prys voel ek dat dit goeie value vir geld is.
Punte teen wat ek gelees het in die reviews is dat dit nie baie diep detect nie. Maar scanners met dieselfde specs doen maar dieselfde. Los sand soos duine en strande detect die AT Pro so tot +/-40cm, digter harder sand sal dit seker afkom tot so +/-25cm. Hang ook maar af van die grote van die object.
Ander punt teen is dat die AT Pro baie false signals gee. Hier kan ek nie my opinie lewer nie want ek het nie genoeg experience nie. Elke keer waar ek ‘n sterk signal gekry het, het ek iets gekry, al was dit dan ook net ‘n bierdoppie.
Wat ek wel kan se is dat ek op my eerste hunt, 2 N$ coins en ‘n 9ct goue ketting gekry het. So die AT Pro werk vir my.
Hoop dit help.
Groete
Koos
Koos baie dankie. Beste vir jou !
Hi Koos,
Bly om te sien hier is nog n siel in ons geweste wat detect. Het my Garret TH Mk2 al sowat 3 jaar hier langs kus. Maak kontak, kan idees en tips bespreek.
groete,
Jis Skahbong (neem aan dis nie jou regte naam nie),
Ja lyk my ons is min, die mense hier dink mos mens is mal as jy met ‘n metal detector rond loop. Is ook goed so, meer vir my om te ontdek. My cell is +264 81 834 5447, sms my jou e-mail address dan gesels ons.
Groete

Thanks
Andrew
hi guys am a member in cape town, would like to get in touch with fellow capetonians, to metal detect
True enoch KZN there is kruger millions hidden,bt first u need a

The thing. Visit mpumalanga for a change you be surprised,myself

Hi there,
I’m not a metal detector club member however I would like some help from someone in the club please.
A few weeks ago I lost my wedding ring (9 carat gold) whilst I was playing touch rugby. I have a good idea of where the ring is on the field but can’t find it by eye. I lost it on a rugby field in the Hillcrest area of KZN. I would like to know if it is possible to rent a metal detector or if anyone in the area could help me find it. I am willing to pay you for what should be, I would guess, 30 minutes of your time. The ring is not worth much but obviously has sentimental value to me.
If anyone has suggestions please email me on gregdales@webmail.co.za.
Thank you.
Hi Greg,
I will try and contact some club members from KZN –
Was the ring lost on a proper rugby field – Short grass etc?
It may still take a good hour or more to scan an entire field.
If its only a rugby field in length maybe taking a few mates in a row and walking the line may be successful especially as it should stand out in short grass etc.
Regards,
Richard W.
I am 54years old retired widower.I am a treasure hunter.I am very much happy to find like minded people in my country(South Africa).I am in Pongola,Kzn.Meeting you will help me accomplish my goal-‘kruger millions’.I believe the horde was stashed along the route not at the end of the journey.President Paul Kruger was very clever and couragious man.He would not take this treasure to another country.They belonged to this country.They had no other home.Together with his cabinet they hoped to come back and re-establish their republiek.I think I have the clue!I am a detectorist and a dowser(deviner).I need the chance to dowse that area.
Hi my name is nhlakanipho manana. I am also a treasure hunter of old and rare coins who is looking for equipment that cn help me see underground or a person with real and . I had honist devine sperits. Im located in driefontien near piet retief mpumalanga.about the kruga millions i hav a old friend of my father who say he knows where they are if u cn help me maybe i cn help u .
Hi there Nhlakanipho
I have Studied a lot of past history about Paul Kruger and the lost Millions.
I also believe that they are still berried in South Africa and that every one believe that the are in Mpumalanga Close to the Blyde river Canyons. but I think that this was only roomers that was spread by all the people over the years. I also like you have a passion to find treasure, I am willing to exchange stories let me know then contact me on gustavb64@gmail.com lets Chat. I might be able to help you.
Thanks Gustav
