That is absolutely brilliant, it is fantastic you went to the effort to return it to the family. Great to see some happy news amongst all the fire devastation.

Another option is the Ark power box, has a smart dc-dc charger built in and has an inverter built in too. It comes with a 240v lead for charging at home and a cigarette lighter plug for charging on the go. They are lithium battery compatible.

They are an awesome drawer for the price, had a set in the ute for 3 years and still work perfectly.

Any idea of when? Im looking at the sdc2300 and planning on buying in a couple of weeks. If they go up, what other brand would people recommend that would be equivalent? Or still get the sdc? Cheers Adrian

The saw was $459 120c model, with charger and battery. Was lucky when wife purchased, salesman couldn't find battery for it so gave her the bigger battery for same price. Need 240v to charge the battery, my car has a built in invertor that I can plug it into and charge. Has a 12inch bar. I must...

Lucky I have the 4x4, planning to go out tomorrow for my first go witht he GM1000, have had 35mm at home and around Ballarat over 40mm. Much needed.

Have a look at 4wdsupacentre, I have their lightbar and wiring harness, brilliant. I recently saw a bloke with their 9inch spotties and they are very impressive for the price. The wiring harness makes it very simple to wire up without splicing wires.

Hi Muk are your picks listed on Ebay?? Adrian

The link silver posted is a great read. Hoping to get out on the weekend to give the GM1000 it's first run, and see what the ground looks like compared to al my reading.

Hi all Came across this magazine Australian Gold Gem & Treasure, just wondering if it is any good for an absolute beginner? Or is there something better to read and learn from as well as this forum? Cheers Adrian

Thankyou goldierocks for your in depth explanations, for newbie like me this is very helpful. I will be relying on my wife, she studied geology many years ago, hopefully she can remember it.

Thanks Ded Driver, will have a look.
