    anyone used a crux goldtrek banker?

    considering ordering one of these and interested in opinions. whilst I'm not a huge fan of drop riffles they can be swapped out if necessary. sorry i cant work out how to post link. just google crux highbanker. they appear to be quite unique but the lightweight is the big attraction. cheers

    shout out to Dustin @ goldrat

    i have tried every mat except goldhog (which im very curious about) and haven't used sheepskin but the vortex mini catches stuff i cant see. it will catch most stuff 100 mesh plus unclassified but im going 4.5 mm (cause that's what i have) and getting dust. very keen on opinions on classifying...

    SDC2300 FOR SALE SOLD

    yep that was me. first time with a detector in an area with very little over 20 mesh (ive been sluicing hard for some years now and have the area wired). was shocked and thrilled with a .45 gram chunk. can sincerely say dealing with 2late was a pleasure and machine in A1 condition. many thanks...

    better than expected

    first time out for months, bless the early spring. water still high and a bit limiting but have been saving this bank for a high water moment. was a real surprise how well i did after cleaning up at home with a coldie. hope its a good sign for the months ahead, but ive probably peaked early

    Kid’s detector

    got a nokta midi hoard for my (undersized) 8 year old and it is excellent. telescopic shaft is fully collapsed at this stage so plenty of options as she gets taller. simple, bulletproof, waterproof and it works. highly recommended

    Tiniitus and detector noises

    Thanks for the useful replys. Yep know about the condition a lot. Lots of good medical people around mercifully. Hearing aids help many sufferers, lots of snake oil selling. I heard recently some poor bloke was going insane from it (I emphasise) so the quacks decided to surgically make him deaf...

    Tiniitus and detector noises

    Hi gang. I'm a gun sluicer and panner but age is catching me and I'm thinking of buying a detector to stop myself from bucket sieving for hours and risking my dodgy back, I'm sure I'm not alone with this issue. But.. I got real bad tiniitus, basically I've flogged my body as a glorified...

    Wilson brothers hand crank trommel

    This is exactly what I need if anyone knows how to get one or someone who can make something similar. My back just can't bucket sieve like it used to sadly
