I was watching a guy on YouTube swinging the E1500. He was using the target ID to avoid the bird shot. Have you noticed the ID difference between lead and gold of a similar size?

The first Australian-made orbital rocket is on the pad

After my Keens came apart at the seams I replaced them with another pair that let me down badly. Again they came apart at the seams so I went to Perth in search of something better. I wanted light weight boots because I'm light weight and get tired feet after scrambling over a few kilometres of...

First you have to find it 😏 and then the price only matters if you sell it :cool: Otherwise in only adds to the fever :eek:

I haven't seen rain for months. This afternoon I was all strapped in ready to fly until I asked for clearance to start. The reply was a warning of a severe thunder storm approaching from the NW. I'm quite sure it only happened because I've just paid for four days hire on a 10'x6' cage trailer...

They look really good but I prefer to drown out some of the ground noise between the coil and the stones however for that price they should to be good value.

OldRick, at 51 you are certainly not old but I wish I'd have made the move to the goldfields 20 years ago. We did as you're suggesting and sold our house in suburbia and bought one on the goldfields for less than a third of the price. We divorced the banks after looking after them for more than...

HaHa. Michael the GPX6000 would have to be one of the most unreliable machines to have ever been produced and survived in any market. Perhaps the only reason in has continued to be sold is that it is one of the best performing gold detectors and Minelab are quick to respond to the many, I guess...

Deano, My doctor recommended the Avantree Tours speakers and I found them very good however you still have to contend with the noise generated by the hollow coil if you work the coil right on the ground. Another member here introduced me to the Avantree Me noise cancelling earphones and that's...

I've been reading River of Gold tells the story of the Palmer River gold rush, during which Cooktown grew to a 94-pub town with a hundred tons of gold recovered in 10 years. Of course with hundred tons of gold taken in those first 10 years and surely more than that since it might be getting a...

That's a nice looking machine. I envy you guys with clear running water....

Where did those 42 years go?

It's good to hear from you Simmo. I guess we're not on the right bandwidth?

Hadn't yet developed the fever 😂

You SDC2300 is a good choice to find your first piece however it's not the best for exploring new areas. Your best chance of finding gold is to go where others have found gold in the past. Using Trilobite download gold locations, preferably Scrape & Detect or Dryblowing areas. These areas are...
