    Gday :ausflag: A mate from interstate yesterday so my friend Max and I took him for a hunt. I lent him my Xterra70 and I used my fairly new Etrac.

    1st old coin with new Etrac

    Gday :ausflag: I had a quick (1.25 hour) hunt last week, on the day after I purchased the Etrac. I say quick because the weather was fast coming in really bad with high winds and sideways rain.

    Owl fob watch

    Hi, I found this unusual watch recently only 1" down in long grass under a shade tree. The watch must of been new when it was lost as it still had the little plastic stopper under the winder that new watches have. It no longer works, I think water has entered the workings. Anyway, I thought it...
