Awesome, thanks Wilko! will definitely keep that in mind :perfect: the advice is always appreciated!

Lure was probably removed and sat back in its mouth for the shot to show the lure used! Not uncommon at all to present a fish with the lure visible to promote the lure type... Also 1-2kg? that would slightly thicker than a piece of hair.. Line looks almost as thick as the treble, at least 20kg...

Hey Dignit! Nice to hear, mine has been on order for nearly 5 weeks so pretty happy to finally have it arrive! Hope yours comes soon mate! All the best when it does come, hope you do alright :perfect: Can only hope the numbers drop soon! i think we will see a few high numbers continue for a...

Thanks all for the suggestions! I do have an SDC that i have found plenty of gold with hence the decision to upgrade. Iv got the stock headphones that the machine comes with from miners den. Sounds like what i have already is pretty much all i need for a while! Unless there is a set of...

Hey All, So i finally bit the bullet and got myself a 5000, just arrived in the post today! Spewing as i wont be able to use it for another 5 weeks as im in lockdown 8.( Iv got the 14x9" nugget finder and the 14" coiltek coils with it and an external speaker. Ill mainly be using it...

Best thing i ever bought for my 800 was the 6" coil as i used it when i was starting out for gold. Had far better target responses from small gold with the smaller coil. Most of the small sub gram gold i found would show up anywhere from -2 to 3 or 4. Any numbers in between i usually took as...

Some great finds GT!! I know what you mean it can take quite a few noise cancels to find the perfect range to get the detector humming along quietly. I try and run mine at a sensitivity of 5 as much as i can to avoid missing anything which i really think helps. But i have quite often had to...

A few of my finds with the SDC from about 3 days at one spot that has had countless detectors over it. Even bumped into some other detectors out there running 4500's that werent getting anything.

Great write up GT! I did a detecting course with Mark and Rhonda from Australian Gold Prospecting late last year down in VIC using the SDC. They explained to me (as i was unaware) that the machine is very susceptible to EMF and aircraft instruments as i was seeming to have the same issue with...

Dont know if the image will post but has anyone ever seen one of these before? Found it out detecting a few weekends back in talbot about 6 inches deep in an old mullock heap. It has a small shaft on the backside split in two. Im assuming some sort of pin, not sure on the metal either, small...

The Black Diamond Revolt is my go-to camping light! I use it prospecting, camping and fishing! All round its brilliant, lightweight, battery life is fantastic and you can get them for $95 if you have a membership at anaconda. Would highly recommend...

Thanks for the advice and yes i do believe it was the Xtra. Seemed like a decent package with the machine, a few different laps, dops, transfer jig and some diamond pastes for just over $3500 from memory. Im actually a bit younger and dont have the need for glasses (yet), my eyesight is pretty...

Thanks Husky! Apologies for the confusion, but i wasnt specifically asking for a VJ. Poor wording on my part, but i simply meant any faceting machine similar to the one above, brand isnt of major concern to me. Thanks for the suggestions anyway! I did find a brand new Halls machine from...

Raising a dead post. Im looking to buy a similar machine to what dusky purchased, a second hand cutter in reasonable condition. Im okay with something that may need a few small repairs. If anyone is interested in selling a machine or knows someone who is, shoot me a PM. Looking to spend up to...

From my own experience in the GT the 6" coil was exceptionally better in the heavy mineralised ground and scrappy areas. The noise reduction was by far the biggest advantage for me, there is a hell of a lot less chatter and when i did get a signal i was more confident i had an actual target. The...
