I can't hold out much longer, the time's come for me to try out a Legend and I can't justify keeping around two relic machines so I'm putting up my daily driver E-TRAC for sale. I ended up with it as I wanted a detector with better discrimination ability than the Equinox, which it delivered in...

Hi everyone, I've just realised while trawling Trove for information that I have no idea how much a "load" is. My brain has always just edited the term to ton by itself and called it a day. It's a horribly generic term to try and Google so I haven't had any luck there. I don't have a feel either...

Hi all, I've been putting together a couple of files for funsies (don't even have a gold detector at the moment!) over the last few nights regarding the Heathcote goldfield, and I figure that it could be useful for others. I've created separate files for both reef lines and alluvial / surfacing...

Hi all, I'm chasing a small coil (5-6") for my E-TRAC, not really any local new options any more and postage from the US is absolute murder. Can anyone save me from overpaying for a CORS Point?

Another teaser video, looks like the Deus 2 is coming. There's a pretty active discussion already over on the Detector Prospector forums.

Hi all, looking to give a second detector a whirl to liven up a few of my regular coin and relic sites. The Equinox slams on new ground still but I'm starting to run out of different tactics to keep my old regular sites fresh. My ground is generally tough as nails so choosing to dig can be tough...

Hi all, figure I'll start a thread for everyone to show off their finds. No rock too dirty or mineral too ugly! I'll kick off with a super common mineral which gets overlooked and tends not to make it into a lot of displays, andalusite. It can (not always though) give a reasonably bright...

I had an idea for a thread while having a swing the other day - my detector is more or less trashed but it can't be the worst out there, surely? I did a search of the forums and couldn't find any existing threads covering this, so show us what you've got! Here's the current state of my Go Find...

I figure that I might as well start a finds thread rather than clutter up the ID forum too much, there's a lot I don't know about some of the stuff that turns up in the ground! Found this beaut army tag within 5 minutes of swinging on a new area today, which would have been inhabited from...

Check out my "custom" Go Find 40, including such features as: - 'Quick release' arm strap with gaffer tape reinforcement - Weight reduction by unplanned removal of unnecessary trimmings such as the coil nut wings and many internal plastic pieces - Handle plastic joins repaired reinforced with...

Hi all, here's the best stuff from half an afternoon around our old 1900's farmhouse with a Go Find 40; 1895, 1926 and 1933 pennies, a silver pocket watch case that I rammed my mattock through, and a lead plug that I found in very old, hard dirt. It looks like it has an aluminium outer, and has...

Hi all, thought this was pretty cool so I thought I'd share. I've owned my first detector, a White's GMT for a few months but found (not unexpectedly) it to be a bit frustrating for those times when you're just looking for coins and relics. To fix this I picked up a Minelab Go Find 40, and gave...

Hi all, not sure what I have here, hopefully someone has seen one before. I found this in central Vic, the date should be around 1880-1890. I don't really know where to start with ID'ing it, I'm not 100 percent sure about it's purpose (button if I had to take a punt). It's a lead disc about the...
