This year we will hold the event on October 4-5th 2025 at the Amazing Sofala showgrounds.
A full program is being worked on Now and we will have many more details as we get closer to the event.
This year we have reduced the price of a competitors ticket substantialy from previous years. We are very close to Sydney and want to encourage as many as possible to take on the challenge of Beating Trevor and becoming the next Metal Detecting World Champion!
We will then run some side events that you may participate in if your feeling like it.
- The $1 coin Vaccum session.
- The $2 coin Dash for cash
- The Nugget Hunt
- Detector training sessions
- As well as a few novelty events for a bit of a laugh.
So when you purchase your Competitiors ticket you can add on any of the side events that we are holding. These are purchased seperately to your main competitiors ticket.
NOTE: Side event tickets will go on sale in JULY 2025.
This reduces the cost for those that are focused on the MAIN EVENT and allows those that are keen, to participate in as many or as few events as you like.
The FREE Detecting area’s are pretty massive this year and there is a great chance of finding a pice of gold. Area’s will be explained and shown to participants on the weekend We are also adjacent to 1000’s of acres of Crown land as well.
There will be plenty to keep you occupied for the weekend.
