My gpx 5000 doesnt find gold anymore. It just sits in the spare room. In the dark. The battery is charged up. The Nox is dormant, cant remember how to even use it. Well ok its me not the gpx or Nox. Maybe that will change as winter nears. I just dont feel as enthusiastic about detecting as I...

I have heard of a young fella in Ballarat going out with his Dad when they first bought the Nox 800 and the lad found a 1930 penny, I dont know how true that is? Wondering if anyone on the forum has had the joy of finding such a valuable coin?

Saw a moofie tonight The remake of A Star is Born I have never watched to original, but I loved this movie, the music is really good, Bradley Cooper is a hottie in the role and Lady Gaga is so beautiful in her role without all the crap she usually wears. I cried at the end tho, I was surprised...

I often just drop in to have a read to see whos been finding gold or making or cooking stuff or just doing stuff or just chatting and I always feel like saying good morning, depending on when I check in or, good night, but there isnt anywhere to say that, so ld like to add a thread that allows a...

Greetings to all. I was told just recently that when I swing over a signal a few times, I should then ground balance right on top of the signal as a true target will still be there afterwards and if its ground noise/interference etc. it will be gone? Is this correct, as I havent had a practice...

Wondering if the folks on the forum that live or have lived over in Tas might be able to give me a bit insight into life on the island. Mostly the average summer and winter temperatures on the northern side, between say Burnie and Davenport, Im told that area is quite mild (compared to Ballarat...

Might head over to Eldorado soon for a bit of a Sniffy as I'm a bit of an AUaddict with a healthy dose of YellowFever. Last time I went, I took a Lefty, instead of a Wrighty and wound up Outback, Northeast of Adelaide, yep, DetectingSA !! I expect to find plenty of Trash while Swinging & digging...

Any finds at all that start with each letter of the alphabet, starting with 'A' with a photo attached. Add only one of your own. Anyone can add an item thereafter. As soon as someone adds a found item starting with the next letter of the alphabet then that letter stands, until the next change...

Hi folks, hubby found this on Friday just uphill a bit from lots of mines, does anyone know what it's used for?

Ahhh 18 years of shift work is messing with me. I feel tired when I should be full of energy and I'm full of beans when I should be sleepy. Some say I might drink too much booze, I beg to differ, I just have a drink at different times. Meal times are messed up too, shift work does change the...

I have been wondering about all the things that people collect. Just one item is, just one and two items are a pair, does that make three or more a collection? Would like to hear from folks that don't collect anything at all too I collect a lot of things. Would love to see what folks collect...

I was snooping in Mr Flowerpots shed recently and found one of our long forgotten rock and crystal stashes. A tray full of little smokies, I washed them up and they are beautiful :brokenh:
