No dramas, in fact in prospecting mode the machine will ping nuggets better that the gold detectors in some conditions but they cant eliminate the noises of ironstone etc so thats why we dumb it down so it only pings on targets close to the coil and doesnt drive u crazy. When gold is sitting so...
Hey Eldorado......6 inch DD coil, machine dumbded down to account for ground mineralisation. A lot of the gold in that spot is right near the surface so any detector can stumble upon a piece. Unfortunately for most its so remote and hot that there are easier places!
The exterra is so sensitive...
Hi Guys,
been off grid for quite some time so I apologise for not checking in and saying gday. We spent six months straight in a tent and have lots of videos of our adventures, it just takes time to share them but I decided to knock up a vid of our recent camp out in the Nullagine Dessert in...
I will add to the debate. Those that say dig everything are usually rookies or OCD.......yep you heard it here folks from the Twapster. We all make mistakes, and sometimes the best finds are mixed in the rubbish heap. But , listen to your detector, and it will most times tell you what you need...
Of course I will clarify that I have no issue with staying at the CP, I'm sure that's great too. But when I did my research on Clermont it seemed that was the only option.
Loads of people staying at the BP, which I thought was just a single overnighter sort of deal.....spoke to one guy who was...
Sorry for the late reply, 2 ways in, 20 foot vans can make it. Talk to Paul the caretaker I can PM u his number re pets no idea.
Why stay at the caravan park when you can sleep on the gold! Works out cheaper.
I'm currently camping at the lease, and I can vouch its a top location and caretaker Paul has been very helpful. The best part is the lack of junk targets. Everyone's finding gold if they put the time in so that's the other good part.
Yep, got the Thornado and it pumps just enuff- the Honda equivalent is lighter and pumps a bit better but 4 times the price. A 2 stroke will prob be heard in the next suburb. No stealth with that but I do love the smell of a 2 stroke engine! Ive seen the little 1-incher in action on a mini...
I think RDD hits it pretty well.
I'm with Tath I like both because its a hobby. I originally took it up because I only carried a trout rod and realised a pan and a detector (dads old xterra 70) would give me something else to do if the fish weren't biting. All of a sudden I was forgetting to...
I'm voting the 4500. I'm sorry but the SDC coil is just too small for WA. My wife found some real tiny ones with the SDC, but I was doing more "power walking" with the 4500.
If you are on a patch and going low and slow, the SDC for sure. If you are hunting for a patch, then the 4500 would kill...
My 2 cents as RJ points out too many variables - iron and gold are at the opposite ends, not so with lead and gold.
I certainly cant knock discrimination even when people say "don't use it dig everything". While those people are digging up horseshoes id prefer to move on to a real target. Have...
Bugger just seen the Work diary I cant get out of two functions I have to set up for Sat and Sun and our own AGM on the Monday so i'm out of luck. Hope u guys have a great time and find some gold too!!
