    Metal detector hard cases

    For the last month I have been using the Minelab cloth bag to house my detector and after some stuffing around I finally get a case to suit the GPX4000. The need was simple, a lockable hard durable case that is going to offer reasonable protection from prying little fingers, impact and the...

    Today I BOUGHT

    Columbia Hiking boots from Iconic, issue for me was finding lace-up boots that had no metal in them. Would have preffered the sturdy Caterpillar Boots but I couldnt bring myself to removing the eyelets and some even have a steel support plate.

    Gold Leases, where do I find them?

    Hi Yellow Fever, thanks for the reply. I personally would offer the land owner a share of the findings as I wouldn't be there without their generosity.

    Gold Leases, where do I find them?

    Thanks for the reply Hunting Yellow, I will give your method a try as it sounds easy enough for me to do. I never knew people would be so willing to allow strangers on their property based on the 95% of yes you receive, this now gives me a whole new confidence. Yes I understand what you say...

    What to look for when panning and detecting

    Greenstone =nephrite jade. You can buy jewellery and souvenirs made from it when in New Zealand, though they have strict rules on removing it from the ground i believe.

    Self defence, carrying of knives, wild animals, where do we stand?

    Hello all, My question is do you carry any form of protection other than a miners pick? I am concerned for my safety as I detect alone and have purchased a very large knife/machete. I am in fear of pig's, not people and want to know if its acceptable to carry such with me in remote locations...

    Metal detector hard cases

    I am also having the same problem of finding a "good value" case. I know I could go and buy the one for $275 plus delivery off eBay, trouble is I have a pregnant Mrs that scornes at every purchase I make lately like I'm taking food for the babies mouth :P There is a aluminum framed double...
