Hi Roscoe - found this which was probably what I was aiming for: http://www.blog.minersdenaustralia.com.au/hunting-for-goldies-with-the-minelab-ctx-3030/ It should discriminate all except $2 & $1 coins! Cheers..........Doug

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

If you're going to film your own adventures why not use a few GoPros? They're waterproof, compact and film in HD. Can be controlled via an iPad too.....

Definitely do-able Wal....let me know when you're ready :)

Thanks guys -aircraft was purchased out of my Super whilst I can still pass the Medical for my licence! Pilots fly from the left seat so it's me flying as well. Aircraft is hangered at Wedderburn which is to the South of Sydney. Just PM if you want to go for a spin......

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...)...

Thanks Wal - this is a great example of where being part of a dedicated group pays dividends. Your reply just saved me $185! Cheers.......Doug

Great stuff - I've printed this out and laminated it so it can accompany us on our travels....

Thanks very much Nugget - just what I need!

Thanks Wal - I thought the KISS principle would be the most logical...

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!

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...

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?

Thanks HeadsUp - I assumed most of the fun would be in the exploration with a bonus if you found anything......

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...
