The first item has me curious - it has the alphabet embossed around the rim. The second item appears to be part of a spoon, but there was no 'handle' and is very thin. The third item appears to be a button. It gell into 3 pieces, the middle section is a 'perished rubber insert the same shape as...

Well it wasn't today - but last Friday! Wholemeal damper using the National Park's fire pit and the camp oven. Was a real treat. Brian

Good article thanks!

I have a Eureka gold and seeking offers... The battery no longer holds charge (battery charges to about 13.1V but voltage drops to around 8 volts when detector turned on. As a result, the unit is very 'chaotic' sounding when turned on and does not settle down. Also, the loudspeaker no longer...

Thanks Grubstake, I was suspecting something like that to be the case. I'll be passing thru late June was just exploring options. Appreciate your response.

Hi Folks, I note that a Google search mentions that Warakurna is in the goldfields region and I'm wondering if there is anywhere in this district where you can detect? A quick search of PA shows up nothing? Brian

I don't think it is a rusty lump of iron. For one it does not appear flakey. Also it appears to include a number of 'nodules' of black crystalline material which sparkles in the light. The nodules are covered in a thin 'rusty' crystalline crust which appears to have grown on the outside. These...

Hi Folks, Found this unusual rock with the 2300 at the beach, it did not howl as loud as iron or steel, but at a distance of about 200mm was a very clear hum. It was captive in a hollow in the bedrock and covered in sand. The bedrock is Boonanghi as defined by the App Trilibite - see...

Hi Moneybox, What are the symptoms when a coil fails on the 6000? Does the detector self diagnose?

Didn't know Jaros personally - but he touched my life so many times. We have a lot to be thankful for. Miss you!

Hi Grubstake, About 80mm wide, 40mm high.

Probably a simple ID!? This rock came from the Turon. It sets the detector off quite strongly and is reasonably magnetic. Similar rocks nearby do not affect the detector even slightly. Magnetite? Hiw can it be magnetic but similar rocks are (probably) not?

Igor is very cute! Spotted this blue flower wasp trawling through the fallen blossoms from the Crepe myrtle - its iridescent wings sparkle brilliantly when they catch the light!

An interesting analogy. For a few years now, i have thought that lack of purpose is at the core, of many of the problems in indigenous communities. The causes we can speculate about, but the solution is a very complex challenge. As in the fish story simply removing the free handouts is also...

I had a small, dead tree once which gave off a very strong signal, first at the roots, then all the way up the trunk. It was a very strong signal- and left me quite stunned at the time. And no, it wasn't hollow.
