Had a hunt with Jason this morning in a new area for us. We started in a smallish area and the goldies started popping. Very good, that covered the fuel. We stopped for a drink and started moving the other direction and Jason found the first pre dec of the day. After that it rained pre dec. We...

LOST- Access to a great local spot. :( Had permission from what we thought were the correct authorities, only to meet Mrs Grumpy Old Hag, who had other ideas. Gutted.

Quick 45 min hunt this afternoon to get me out of the house. Pretty happy with the result. The brooch has "silver england" stamped in bottom, but no hallmark, so thinking junk.

Hi peeps, Went out today with the Hunter boys. Had a great day with a few pre decimals and some goldies, but this was definately my favourite find of the day!! First token!! Hooray for me!! Cheers DAN

A good hunt today with Jas, a couple of firsts for me. My first sixpence and my first shilling. Both coming out of the same hole, which was an excellent start. The earlier sixpence coming a little later just before a bunch of cars decided they needed to all park where we were detecting...

Hi guys and girls, Seeing a Jas and myself had some time off work, we thought we should get off the beaten track and explore some new and unchartered grounds. After much research and a few phone calls we managed access to some private land. Our research led us to believe, the land we were going...

Hi guys, Now I've read previous posts and know that I haven't bought a gold detector, but I have a couple of questions regarding my machine and its usefulness. It will be my first time looking for gold and I have a friend that will be using a SD2100, so we have a capable gold detecting machine...

Hi people, went out with Jason again today, not a lot of finds but got another Penny and possibly my first foreign coin. :P I only assume that if you need a passport to travel to a country, it makes it "Foreign" ??? It's a kiwi 1c. So it counts yeah??

Went out with Jason again chasing my first pre-dec. We've been working hard for the last month or so, and haven't really had much luck yet ( well I haven't anyway)After a few minutes I had a solid 36 on the 705 so decided to dig it. Was pretty stoked when this came out!! My first pre decimal...

Hi forum people. I have recently purchased an X-Terra 705. After a few outings, I thought I should get a protective cover for the screen/control box. I went down to a large chain store that stocks Minelab and various accessories. $40 later I was fitting a quite basic cover to my rather expensive...

Is it just me, or does this site seem to crash a lot?

Hi guys and girls, went out today for my first coin/relic hunt and found a heavily rusted old coin/disc underneath and old fig tree that stands next to an old grandstand. It is so rusted though I can't make out any markings whatsoever. My questions are 1. Would an old coin rust so heavily? I...

Hi, I'm in the market for a looked after, working, Garrett AT Gold or AT Pro. I am looking to spend around $500-$600. I live in the Maitland area ( near Newcastle NSW) and would prefer a local pickup so I can see the machine working. Thanks in advance DAN

Hi everyone, my name is Dan and I'm only just starting out on my prospecting journey. I love camping, fishing and thought a bit of prospecting would fit in nicely. I don't even own a detector yet, I'm still in the researching stage, but think I might end up with a second hand xterra 705. I'm...
