Hi John, I should have mentioned that we are using a 5000.

Hi, we recently bought the 17 X 13 evolution coil and have only used it a couple of times. we are finding it a little noisy. We would be interested in any info on settings that anyone would be willing to share. Thanks! Mick and Anne

Thanks mike. how rough was the ground the guys east of Brockmans were working? Was it too hard to dig or uneven and difficult to walk through? Or too hard to drive to? Anne

Thanks heaps everyone! I haven't been online for a while and have just found your replies. I have looked again at the the Tengraph but I'm still a bit bamboozled!? I'll try to get the maps you suggest Ron. I thinks this will be the easiest solution. And Old Halls creek will definitely be on the...

Thanks for the reply. We have already applied for the miners right....just waiting for it to come back from the Dept. it can't be done online as photographic proof of identity must be supplied. I have briefly looked at Tengraph, but as you say...a little tricky. I will contact the local dmp...

Hi. We are Planning a trip to the Kimberley this year. We have never been to WA and would welcome any suggestions that members may have in regard to areas for detecting and also the best way to get information regarding existing leases and general detecting areas. We have been told that...

Hi. We spent several weeks in and around Georgetown last August. We spent time at Flat Creek, Dells Hole and Western Creek. All of these places were great and the station owners very welcoming and their detecting fees very reasonable. We met some great people too. This was our first serious...

Hi. We recently spent some time around the goldfields near Georgtown QLD. We have had a 5000 for about a year and decided that 2 detectors on the ground would be better than one so we purchased an SDC2300. I love it! My largest nugget to date is a 10.9g down about 10". I have no doubt...

55 and 57......a little while before retirement, but can't wait until we can detect and fish our way around Oz!

Thank you! :)

We are thinking of buying a Bluetooth gps for our ipad. I have found one that sounds good, but would like to know if anyone is using these devices and if so what Map Apps are you using? Thanks Anne

Treasure! We have been out on the beach about 4 or 5 times......this is the stuff we are keeping.....you should see what's in the trash bin, lol! Thanks for info Heatho....it worked a treat!

Hi. The only time we have spent in Bendigo was for detecting, but it's a really nice town. There seems to be lots of other small towns close by, the history is great. We did a couple of days with a guide as we'd just bought our 5000 and needed to learn the basics.....we're very new at this! We...

Hi. Cottages attached to the Miners Den in Bendigo are good and cheap. Basic but clean and tidy. Good luck! we are also in Tassie and have been contemplating a return visit to Bendigo, we really enjoyed our time there! :) Cheers Anne
