    Hi all, I've been watching this video on creating User Modes using XChange 2. This programme was for US coins. Has anyone created one for Aussie coins? Cheers...........Doug

    And Now For Something Completely Different

    This video was shot on the weekend of the International Fleet Review. Airspace over Sydney CBD is pretty much controlled airspace although there is a allowance made for General Aviation aircraft using a prescribed track called Harbour Scenic One. Watch in HD! (I'm the old geezer on the left...)...

    Minelab Pro Find 25 tips, settings, question

    Apologies - I haven't got enough posts for a link yet! What I was wondering is, if I was using Wal's HighBanker, could this be used to check the overburden for nuggets or would it be an unnecessary expense? Cheers........Doug

    Hi from Westmead

    Thanks Gav - have to agree with your comments regarding the members! I'm OK for an EPIRB - I'll just borrow the one from the aircraft - it was a GPS that I was curious about. I don't want to spend money on features that I'll never use!

    Hi from Westmead

    Thanks guys - never considered a GPS which is dumb as I use them for flying - any recommendations? I do have a First Aid kit so that's sorted and totally agree with Wal with respect to keeping it as light as possible although as headsUp suggested I will include the EPIRB. And Gadgetman45 - you...

    Hi from Westmead

    Thanks people - it appears I'm on the same wavelength regarding expectations. Now the next big question, as a founding member of the Live Cowards Club, how prevalent are the snakes and other bitey things and is mobile reception an issue when prospecting, should I bring my EPIRB along?

    Hi from Westmead

    Just want to introduce myself and start of with a quick question. Do people make money from this or is it the anticipation that keeps you motivated? I'm curious 'cos I've just retired and thought this would be a beautiful way to explore Australia and if it were self supporting - even better...
