Station owner = pastoral lease holder, so the people who have the cattle, sheep or whatever station..... Its always good practice to contact them either by phone, letter or email and tell them where you plan to prospect and possibly camp. You dont really want to be wandering around the bush and...

Some people do arrange an agreement with a licence holder. These are usually tribute agreements where you get agreed access to a part or parts of the licence in return to agreeing to give a % of all gold found. There often is an indemnifying clause so that the licence holder is covered if you...

Yep can camp and detect on pending but 2 things to be aware of: firstly just make sure the blue pending area isnt on an existing tenement (so essentially a special prospecting licence). You cant prospect there without either a 40E for the underlying E lease or permission for the holder if the...

Sad to hear. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Jaros

Theres a 2100 on Gumtree in Perth for 800 bucks with battery and 3 coils. If you could find another 300 bucks, the 3500 for sale on Gumtree in Perth for 1850 is a great buy and bit easier to use than the 21 as has auto ground balance https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-wa/minelab/page-2/k0l3008845

Yes mate very keen :) PM me a price incl. postage to wa and I can do bank transfer now :)

Thank mate :) Ironically thought of the UFO and will keep an eye out. Likely a dodgy coil then. Good to know. I have a 22" DD and a couple of 14" DD's so may give them a whirl too.

Yes have one....however the 6 and 7 are so damned sensitive that its literally 2 hours to detect 2 pushed rows, simply as stopping every few foot to get it with the magnet :(

Odd question and situation :) Despite owning a 6000 and a 7000, I have been playing around with the old 3000....Looking for something not quite as sensitive to small small small bits of loader bucket shard. Love those detectors but when scraping and detecting, I am forever stopping to pick up...

Big digger, open up the ground from shaft to shaft....
