    I've received them but I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Hopefully I'll get out in the next week or so, I'll report back. Cheers

    Today I Saw a Native Animal

    A couple of critters spotted in SW WA last week. The (brushtail?) possum was very tame and let me pat its tail. The emus would not move off the road, no fear at all.

    Bone conduction headphones with APTX codec

    Thanks Matt. They have an app for setting up the headphones. In the app there's a setting you can turn on for low latency. Whether or not this option exists or works for this model I guess I'll find out in a few weeks!

    Bone conduction headphones with APTX codec

    Well that a big bummer! The review video show the guy gaming and the response seems near immediate. Oh well I'll have to wait and see how they perform. thanks for the info. Edit - it's pretty murky as to how these work. They have the Qualcomm QCC3044 bluetooth chip which supports aptX...

    Bone conduction headphones with APTX codec

    Ages ago I started looking for some bone conduction headphones to use with my Vanquish 540. I dont like over ear headphones as I like to know whats going on around me. I have a Shokz open run headset and its unusable on the detector because of the delay - maybe 250mS or so. I spotted this...

    Good news for some beach detectorists

    Good news and bad news. The positive side of beach cleaners is that they take all the plastic and cigarette butts. My council has a contractor sift all the local kids playground areas, I reckon he'd have some good finds occasionally.

    I'm not a gold prospector (more treasure and coins), it might be worth jumping on board one of the courses that are run in some gold prospecting areas. A friend did one over a few days. They cover lots of stuff, do some prospecting and generally have a good time. You'll get to make a few mates...

    Newby wagga

    Digger, I'm on the opposite side of the country but I'm guessing Wagga Wagga has similar areas to near me. Jump on google earth in satellite mode and have a look around where you live. Look for any bushy areas or parks with bushland. I find all sorts of stuff in those places. Have you got a...

    Could be a nice little side line.

    I like that sandwich design, simple but elegant.

    Am I doing it wrong?

    If you're those other coins then you'll find the others if they are there. I was disappointed for a while when I realised that you can only find it if its there! Persistence pays of.
