Heading up in 2 weeks time. Looking forward to hitting the ground armed with some good maps. Hopefully some colour still there for me!

Thanks mate. Was uphill from some very minor old diggings. I think there’s something in that. Not rich enough for the old timers, doesn’t mean it won’t do for us.

Was lucky enough to pick up this 5 grammer a couple of weeks ago. Was in exactly the sort of place I always hope to find gold, but never usually do! Good to know and encourage others that there’s still some reasonable sized stuff on crown land in the GT

Would you sell the NF 17x11 separately mate? Cheers

Probably ironstone. Some areas you can pick up loads of little pieces of what look like gravel on your magnet.

Found this little one out at Creswick! My first specimen, I am obsessed with it.

A month ago :D

Cheers guys, gone with the 14. Happy Xmas to me!

Looking at purchasing either the 14 or 11 inch coiltek elite mono for my 4500. Any thoughts on which would be the best of the 2? Detecting in the GT, siding with the 11" to pick up more small stuff, but wondering if the 14" would pick up a lot as well as potentially bigger pieces? Any advice...

Evening all! Have just bought a new detector, and a new house (big month)! Previously, detector lived in spare room. Now we have a garage, tempting to store the detector out there. Interested to know where people keep their gear! Cheers

Hi Gen, have found gold within a 10 min drive of Coiltek gold centre in Maryborough, good area to start. Google Geovic and have a play around with that, great resource. Good luck!

Thanks Nightjar, appreciate the advice! Will look at some this week!

Afternoon all! Was out and about at Amherst last week (no colour?) but the worst part of the day was being devoured by mosquitoes through my long sleeved shirt. Any advice for a good repellent? I used high strength bushman but didnt seem to do the job. Cheers!

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Its a real early model and Ill be going to test it before I decide to purchase, definitely not a blind purchase.

Gday Peter, there's a fairly new 12" NF which is worth about $500 you're right, the others are slightly older 11" coils. Good machines though and as they're no longer sold difficult to get hold of for good prices. Often see them hovering at the $4k mark with extras..

Gday guys, I've been offered an early version 4500, with 4 coils, harness and headphones for around 3k.... Opinions welcome on whether this is a reasonable price? Slight concern is no warranty and old machine, but people are still running SD machines so not always an issue. Cheers, happy...

Not sure about this. Each to their own opinions of course, but the GM1000 finds gold in the GT every day I would say, so to discount it so readily would be a big mistake. You do need to get used to the pretty much constant ground noise in some areas though.

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing goldierocks.

Small nugget from Laanecoorie!

Found a 0.5g today. Does that count? :perfect:
