    Geological Maps - information and questions

    Thats actually a complex question. A is Archean which is the correct geological age for WA gold AB might simply indicate Archean Bedrock which can be good for gold. Think of the rocks as a part of the recipe for locating gold, rocks are not the answer in the same way that Flour is not the...

    Method in the madness

    Spoon is correct. If the structures trend North South you would zig zag across it walking East West, slowly headed North for example If you walk parallel to the fault it is more than possible to completely miss the gold

    Metal Detector advice High end over ~ $3000

    NF Advantage versus NF Evolution 14x9

    I would run the advantage over the stock coils for a start. Bang for your buck I would run the advantage and buy a bigger round evo coil to give you a range of depths. OR take a serious look at a17 x 13 Evo

    NF Advantage versus NF Evolution 14x9

    Not quite a direct comparison but .. I tested half a dozen coils on 5 targets in the Cue area. I had a probable "dig" signal with the 20" advantage coil. The last coil i put on was the 12" Evo round and the signal was significantly better from a probable to a definite dig Broke the ground to...

    Prospecting / Gold Related TV Shows.

    I can tell you all ALOT about the conglomerate gold. The excitement is justified in the prospecting world. Mining companies are finding it a bit of a challenge. It is very nuggety but also very patchy. The honey holes are spectacular in prospecting terms but too few and far between so far to be...

    Steel Phase Amplifier

    Hey Steel Pat, Just a quick question about availability of the SP01. Seems to be in short supply (very popular) what sort of time frame are we looking at to see them back on the shelves ?

    Minelab GPX4500 tips, settings, questions

    The 4500 was re released because it was such a popular model. The later versions have the benefit of software tweaks and improvement in assembly processes. Think iPhone vs iPhone 10 or whatever we are up to now It isn't a dramatic improvement but these things are such a sensitive bit of...
