Awesome info Silver, so anything pre 46 will be silverys? I wish it was 1916! 1925 is damn cool though, nearly a hundred years old, i can only picture who had them back then and what they were doing

Hi everyone my names Ash from Albury Nsw, at the moment i have a Minelab xterra 705 and an 8 inch goldrat river sluice. Have been hunting the yellow for about a year now and can pretty well say ive got the bug!

Hey guys i am looking at getting a bit more serious and upgrading from my xterra 705 into a PI detector. I have used a Minelab gp3000 on one occasion and was very impressed on the size of targets it could pick up, and have heard nothing but good things about them in my research. Are there any...
