Used MAKRO GOLD RACER Purchased from Phase Tech in June 2016 used for about 20 hours all up since then, due to moving further south away from where any gold is supposed to be!! All is in very good nick. Display glass still has the protective film on as shipped. Makro Gold Racer in original...

Hi PA people, Long time no talk, I've been busy being retired. :P I went to Rapid Bay SA about 12 months ago for a swing through the camping grounds. Very quiet day it was, mid winter. There must have been a hoovermatic in before me, as the ground was very clean, certainly not contaminated with...

A very nice prospect near Broken Hill. http://www.aspecthuntley.com.au/asxdata/20160331/pdf/01726926.pdf http://www.aspecthuntley.com.au/asxdata/20160315/pdf/01722476.pdf She who must be obeyed bought some shares at 15.5 cents and 27.5 cents. (Bless her cotton socks!) I would love to have a...

I thought I would share a few pics of some gold I panned last month. they came from a crevice in a dry creek in Mt Crawford Forest, SA. sadly it is all a matter of scale. the major divisions are 5.0mm - the medium scale divisions are 1.0mm. the minor scale divisions are 0.1mm. the speck in...

Story in the local paper. Eyre Peninsula prospector had his stash stolen. :mad: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/gold-nuggets-stolen-from-prospector-at-cowell-on-eyre-peninsula/story-fni6uo1m-1227565165479?sv=febba82ea3267e8d3e4fc50c5b3cb963

Hi All, I bought a turbopan and some pay dirt from Kim and finally got around to panning it out. I should have videoed the clean up but I was slack. I must say I was pleased with the result. Great colour compared to the SA alluvial I have found. Pics below and comparison. Apologies for the pics...

Well after much ado and waiting I finally got my ETP from Aussie detectors (thanks for the freebie coil cover Brad!). I had scoured the local parks and tot lots and hi beach areas with my GMZ for some 12 months plus with limited success, but I was over digging every target, and every nail, and...

Interesting article today about Switzerland's upcoming referendum to reintroduce a gold standard to back up 20% of the balance sheet. http://www.businessspectator.com.au/article/2014/10/30/resources-and-energy/will-swiss-drive-gold-prices

My sister bought one of these on eBay, all brand new only cost $89.00 delivered!!!!. http://www.myshopping.com.au/GO--1222880775_shopping Please don't..... 'Bucket of bolts' is a better description. It would detect an 8 inch stainless steel dogs water bowl from 2 inches away, but wouldn't...

I used my Whites GMZ this morning at the beach, brrrr cold, blowing. Started to spit a little (drizzle, so I switched off the machine and headed back to the car. On the way from there to work, I stopped off at a playground I hadn't hit before. Turned the machine on. Dead as a door nail. Put some...

Continuing on from my previous post about breaking my GMZ coil retaining bolt..... Well I was putting the machine back together with the new parts and noticed a crack in one of the plastic brackets molded onto the coil where the bolt connects the lower rod. It ran from the bolt hole to the...

Bugger, I must be a tad rough on my GMZ. I was shooting for coins in a playground this morning, not really zoned in, when everything suddenly felt different. Why is my DD laying on the turf?, why am I pointing at the wood chips with a blunt stick? The nylon bolt that holds the coil to the lower...

Hi again Phasetech, I pilfered your response to a previous post because I didn't want to hijack that topic. I spent the Monday at Mt Crawford, it was the pick of the days weather-wise last week. I did the eastern side as you suggested, and searched by grid patterns from 9:00 AM until just...

Found this specimen at a beach in Adelaide. Detected very easy, down about 30 cm. Its around 4 inches long in the old scale and would weigh about 350 grams comparing it to a tin of food. Magnets are only barely attracted to it. A tiny magnet will stick to it but a powerful pot magnet will fall...

Hi, don't know if this has come up here before. There is a spread-sheet available at http://www.gold-prospecting-wa.com/gold-nugget-distribution.html which uses a statistical approach to predicting the probable gold in a patch. I can't quite get my head around the 'patch' as it doesn't seem to...

I thought I would share what I found on the weekend. These 4 coins were in the old shed in my fathers backyard . I think the last time I was in there was in the early 70's, it used to creep me out, spiders everywhere. Anyway, three of them were in a cigarette tin, and I found the penny under an...

Hi all, I have only just started hunting for treasure. Using a second hand GMZ. I hit a beach in Adelaide last week and come out with a junk ring, $7.00ish, a rock of coke and a coin that used to be a penny, but that is now flat with no writing visible, and a faint mark where the queens head...

A buddy of mine has this specimen with pyrites visible, but given it's pedigree we suspect it may contain some colour. Ramjet kindly gave me a link to a Specific Gravity calculating video, so we will get set up and work out the gold content. The specimen has a fair amount of quartz in it but I'm...
