    Spring Dolly-Pot

    Has anyone seen a spring dolly in action or has seen some old pictures of one? From reading it sounds like a good device for one man operation. Maybe with modern materials i may be able to make it better? I have a few stones to crush and wont something faster than a hand dolly, but keeping away...

    mine shaft entrances

    I noticed that all the mine shafts up my way here in Far North Qld seem to all have a mound of dirt circling around the entrance of the shaft. I can only presume that there was once a box timber frame of some sorts originally at the entrance? I have seen pictures of other shaft entrances on the...

    Basalt, small gold and SPP

    Well i did some very extensive testing of the SPP over the week end and using a variety of different coils. Firstly i wish to say that the SPP will not signal off on basalt compared to my SD2200v2. A basalt rock that the SD will scream on barely makes a murmur on the SPP. However i was able to...

    Coiltek 14" DD is a Mono?

    I bought a new Coiltek 14" DD pro elite coil for my SD2200 and was using it Friday and Saturday. Every target i got i had a hard time locating the target. I thought i haven't used a DD coil for awhile, but i can't remember it being that hard to find a target with one. Anyway, by the end of the...

    Best detector for large deep Gold nuggets

    If you had to pick one detector and coil combination purely for large deep gold nuggets (multi oz) in high mineral soil, what would you pick and why? If the detector you select has timings then what timing and why you selected that setup?

    No subject just talking Whites detector stuff

    I couldn't think of a subject for this post. I was just thinking about the conductivity switch on the SPP and i thought to myself why don't they offer that feature on a VLF detector like the GMT or any other VLF detector. The conductivity switch is a useful feature with the TDI, SPP detectors...

    Who gets most of the Gold?

    The people in my view who get the most Gold metal detecting are the pro's and retirees. The reason these people get most of the gold is that they are Keen, Well equipped, Travel to good gold bearing areas of Australia and spend a lot of time in the location with coil to the ground. So as a...

I will field test this skid plate over the xmas break and see how it goes. They are not much more price than the genuine plate...

    DO YOU SCRUB OR HOVER?

    I am posting this question because there seems to be two types and/or theories to this method. I met a bloke today who just came back from W.A metal detecting. He is semi retired and travels over every year and makes a living out of metal detecting for gold. He uses a GPX5000 and i asked if he...
