So, if they say the western side of the monument, will it be here?

It was more to the road's side, if you face the monument from its entrance, the right side, where the tents are Towards the middle of the picture.
The foil is out there.

I am sorry for bringing the rain with me, but I thought you might need it. I was planning to only give it to you on Sunday, but I don't know what happened. :D Congratulations to do those that won prizes. There were some great finds

I will post some of my pics tomorrow when I get them off my phone. I really enjoyed meeting a lot of you guys that I only communicate with through the forum. It is nice putting a face to a name

Likewise Paul, great to put some more faces with the names.

Congrats to Mr. Curnick of this here east rand parish, don't think he has been to a Minelab event without not winning anything. The Kraft Clan were also there in numbers!

Weather? Ja, was challenging, might have to revisit my no long trousers on Saturdays policy!

Thanks to Minelab for their commitment (both physical and financial). Would be great if other manufacturers could support the local scene to the same extent.

I agree jaco. Garrett could maybe do a little more for the hobby here in SA. I know it is a minelab event, but Garrett could do other stuff

Here are some of my pics. They are pretty random, but it gives you an idea of what the day was like. I am not too sure what the winning finds were. Maybe someone can fill us in?
