    I've finally got the AT Pro to produce

    After months of trying and feeling like using my AT Pro as a paddle for a small tinnie, the beast has finally produced. Today was the perfect day to hit one of the distant beaches and find something decent. This is my first real find using the beast. The ring seems to be from Sultan...

    Still having problems AT PRO

    I've tried once more to get the damn AT Pro set and working smoothly but regardless of how much I've played with the settings, I kept on getting beeps like I was in a morsecode rec room. Every swing beeped, I increased the sensitivity, used the discrimination settings and even changed the...

    Looks like we just missed out

    I've been mates with a bloke from Ohio for about a year or more and only found out tonight by accident, that he's right into prospecting/fossicking and is also the pres of their prospecting chapter over there. What a damn small world. After going through his posts and pics, I've spotted this...

    Today I found half an ounce of yellow and gave it away :D

    Well, it wasn't exactly gold but the same value. While shopping at Woolies, I found a lady's wallet with just over $700 in cash and all her cr cards, licence etc. It was a really great feeling handing it to their supervisor who happened to know the lady in question. Money and owner reunited...

    SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY

    Hi guys, It's really terrible to see how devastating the fires are and how badly it has affected so many people, who never had the opportunity to grab more than the clothes they were wearing and, if lucky, their pets. They have lost everything they had and still have the love of their fellow...

    Random discussion about, Nundle, Goats, Shooting and Hi-Vis

    Looks like I'm 95% sorted now, AT Pro should be here late next week, then practice time on the beaches and 1st real outing might just be the Nundle Trip if all goes well. I need to get the experience, can't stay as green as all the time. Should I be wearing a "P" plate or "L" plate on my back...

    What do you prefer - Leatherman or Gerber?

    I've come across the following Gerber Tool on eBay. I was amazed to see the price but after reading through the description, I could see where they're coming from. It looks impressive but I wanted to know what those with Leatherman Tools or even those who own a Gerber, thought about it...

    AT GOLD OR AT PRO?

    Hi guys, I know some of you are using the AT Pro and some are using the AT Gold. I'm at a crossroads and have tried researching it for a while now. I also know that some replies will be that it's up to the user's personal preference. Is there such a thing as one being better than the other...

    MAP READING

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if the group is able to arrange Map Reading Training. As we are all going to be out in the scrub being able to read a topographical map is and can be a life saving skill. As a thought, I'm sure if we have enough interested members, we could approach a State...

    Feedback Required - Pyramid Pro Pan

    Hi guys, I"ve done a bit of reading up on the Pyramid Pro Pan. Has anyone used it and if so, what is your feedback. I know there are many gimicky goodies out there, some work and some don't (this is is everything, not only prospecting). The Pyramid is pretty dear with the import/frieght...

    Another piece to assist with producing the Blue Bucket

    I've found this little beauty while shopping for goodies in Bunnings a few minutes ago. It's a "Pope" Swivel Coupler with end pieces/hose attachments included. It can swivel to 180 degrees and accommodates the standard 12mm hose fittings. I thought I'd give this a try as it eliminates the...

    Beach Detecting Etiquette

    Hi guys, Just a quick question. When looking at conducting detecting on a beach, are there any do's and don't? I've noticed two guys each armed with their detectors (on Bondi Beach) and they actually came to screaming at each other, each one claiming that they had been detecting on that...

    G'Day Everyone

    Hi and thanks for allowing me to become part of your group. I've been interested in fossicking & prospecting for ages but, as with most things, I kept putting it off and it never eventuated until now. I am learning as I go along and unfortunately I don't have any experience, so here's hoping...
