6 months ago I bought a 7000 and haven't used the pro-swing 45 harness that came with it, except for a quick cursory try when first putting everything together. finally decided I might use it for extended swinging out in the scrub, so tried it all on at home to give it a go. but it seems to be...

with over ten years using a 5000 I have taken the plunge and bought myself a new 7000. a different beast to be sure, but I spent a day out in the field playing with it and did pick up some small buried lead shot quite easily that to me indicates it's working. a question for the experts. can...

Incorrect. factory schematics are easy to get and usually the same as Californian models. I down loaded factory manuals with all the relevant details no worries. and electronics are Bosch fuel pumps, Denso starters, NGK O2 sensors and the like. nothing special their. you can get after market...

to compare 4x4's I currently have 2005 Jeep Wrangler and a 70 series 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser. both were bought new prior I had a 40 series Land Cruiser back in the '70's and a 60 series Land Cruiser also bought new in the mid '80's that I kept for 12 years the Jeep leaves for dead in the bush...

is there any point to Bonzle? I've tried it a few times and it seems worse than useless, slow to pan, slow to zoom in or out and when you do zoom in all you get are blurry images of the land, plus the info on it is pretty crap, basically just wastes your time stuffing around with it. may as...

never wear a wedding ring at all so that's not an issue for me I do wear a rather expensive watch, TAG Heuer Calibre 5 nearly all the time, but I take it off and put it in a pocket within my bumbag mainly so I dont damage it rather than it interfering with my detector steel capped boots I dont...

Geoneil picks are the best I've used :Y: made by a bloke who's in the Vic fossickers club

a very timely post as I have been wondering the same thing :Y:

I've been using the SP01 for about 6 months now and have become so used to using it that I consider it part of the detector. have gone over old ground that I done previously and have found small slugs that would have been easily missed before. the other day found a small nugget about 2 grams...

I'm in a similar position. been working an area that has been private land for yonks and the diggings were bulldozed then ploughed over before I was born. as a result I have found using a double D coil with the iron reject on about 5. saves a lot of work digging up ancient rusted nails and the...

thanx for the info. the video explains things real good when in "fixed" and pressing the button there is no beep. I'm guessing thats normal? because of that I was wondering if indeed the button does anything

I have a gpx5000 and usually have it set to fixed rather than tracking when ground balancing by raising and lowering the coil to the ground in fixed are you meant to press the button on the handle at the same time?

thanks for the clues. there's some iron relics in the area so want to select iron reject as well the area I want to work is a fairly big paddock with a power line running over it. there will be plenty of areas there where the power line wont be an issue as will be far enough away, but the...

yeah, I get the cancel mode for when near power lines but I also want to use the DD in order to use the iron reject. just wondering what settings to use

I use a GPX 5000 and for the past 12 months have a Nugget Finder 12" Evo virtually glued to it and have found plenty of gold so am happy with my current settings I'm about to work a patch that I know has gold but the area is trashy, plus there's an overhead power line nearby so plan on using...
