TOPIC:

Now that is interesting! Thanks Adrian. I remember there being quite a bit of a debate on it when it came up for sale.

Is it possible to do metal detecting in the Matjiesfontein area - would I have to get permission or who would be a good contact person.

This would be a bucket list project and finds would be donated to the Matjiesfontein museum.

The Laingsburg Local Municipality covers Laingsburg and Matjiesfontein.

Perhaps it would be best to confirm that you are allowed first. Details are :

Telephone:
023 551 1019

Fax:

Notes:

Municipal Manager: Mr Pietie Williams

Mayor: Mr Wilhelm Theron (DA)

Deputy Mayor : Mr Bertie Van As (DA)

Hope this helps.

Anyone noticed this marking south of the N1 and west of the road into Matjiesfontein? Could it be a regiment insignia?

Walking over the remount camp area earlier this week, there was a great deal of metal lying around, sadly from the locals but if you do wish to visit, let me know and I'll be there (I live in Fish Hoek)
