I used to have a 4500 but traded it in and went for a 2300. As only an occasional prospector I found carting around the 4500 in a big bag a pain. I decided on the 2300 because it folds up to a brief case size and can be stored in the footwell of my car and i can take it with me on my travels...

Will try that next time With the speakers the threshold sound seemed more like you expect I took my son out today and he was also finding bottle tops with the best of them ? It was his first time My grand daughter even had a go So far I am enjoying this machine despite a few annoyances. I...

I find with the headphones other than standard ones it is wobbly , I did auto tune but may have to do it again I tried the speaker today with the booster and it went well finding bottle tops down about 18" The sound was a lot better They need an adapter that converts the supplied headphones...

Y Many thanks for your reply Did a run today on the beach and it is better in bypass as you say I found out the hard way about the volume when boost is on ? I also prefer the speakers but as I am on the beach there is a lot of noise and other people so head phones required I used my...

I have been doing some reading re using headphones and the b&z booster with the sdc I get the impression I should use the bypass switch on the booster when using headphones connected to the booster Is that true? Richard

I was testing this today but ran out of time before trying the bose ones I did try my sennheiser ear plugs and ones from apple iphone I was running it throug a b&z booster What I found was that with the boost on I got a high pitch sound coming through but when I turned the boost off it worked ok...

As a matter of interest can I use my bose head phones with the detector I have the adapter with 1/4" female plug I will give them a go ASAP but would like to know if it is a good option They got better and have more noise canceling than the clumsy koss ones Richard

What a beauty?

just tried my newO sdc2300 out on the beach So noisy I had to use headphones I have not used them before but what a pain The cord is not long enough and the bloody things kept falling off I also could not wear my hat I am sure you can do better but just need a place to winge After coming...

Thanks to all, I was wrapped when I found it. I dug everything and did not think this was gold until I held it in my hand. I went down to Bendigo earlier in the year and a mate was using my detector when we found a smaller piece but this was the first by myself with my detector. I have been...

Went out yesterday for the first time to try my luck at one of the GPA in Clemont. After a a couple of hours of bolts bullets and nails I found a small piece of gold. This is the first piece I have found by myself with my detector so had to tell some one. I had no great expectations when I...

Casper Thanks for the reply. What you say makes sense but GEOVIC has another one called RESTRICTED crown land. It says something like you can do it with approval or something like that. I am unsure of exact implication of this to detectors and panning. Richard

Condor22 Thanks for the reply. I had been to that site and they say you can. What confused me is that GEOVIC has it marked as RESTRICTED crown land . I have tried to chase down what that means for prospecting but it is a bit unclear. I have tried to contact the people identified and did not...

hi, i was doing some research using GEOVIC, first time. As a test case I picked the area around ARARAT, in particular the Ararat Hills Regional Park. When I show the map I was looking for Crown Land. It shows this OK. When I move the Restricted Crown Layer up it seems that the whole Crown...
