Gold and Ghosts Volume 1 by D.W. deHavelland. $395 includes Registered Post to anywhere in Oz. This original soft cover edition is in very good nick, but not mint. No tears, dog ears or coffee stains. A great reference book that can easily be onsold when you're done with your research. Sure...

Garrett At Gold in excellent condition. Headphones and manual included. No box. Sis-in-law bought this new, tried it a coupla times then decided detecting is too much like hard work. Sook. Anyway, her loss is someone else's gain. $800 - plus post. Or pickup Bendigo.

Anyone know the actual capacity of 'C' size NiMH rechargeables? I've seen some advertised at 9500 and 10000 mAh on FleaBay but have my doubts. Methinks that 6000 mAh may be the max for a battery of this size.

F1A4 Canvas Control Box Cover Heavy duty canvas covers, with inbuilt base, for sale All F1A4 owners (myself included) are aware that the F1A4 is not the most stable unit when placed on the ground. I know I certainly got tired of having my machine, if I wasn't careful, toppling over every time I...

I've fitted my F1A4 with a coil plug and a headphone jack. No problem there. I've fitted a momentary button, to the handle, to use when ground balancing. Now , my problem. I've wired this as in the following diagram, same as in downhalo's post, but when I use the button the machine switches on...

Got this little amp kit from Jaycar, $9.95. Added a 10k potentiometer for the volume control, on/off toggle switch, 9v battery clip, bit of shielded 2 core and 6.5 mm jack to plug into the audio socket on the detector, and a socket for the speaker to plug into. All up about $20 and makes a...

Few days ago purchased a F1A4 for $500. Looks to be in 'as new' nick. I modded the detector by replacing the military coil connector with one that allows the use of any mono, or dd, that the 5k would run. Also replaced the headphone socket to a 'civvy' one to allow the use of any headphone or...

F1A4 wanted. Doesn't have to be modded. Thanks.

Found this today, with my detector, on some old workings near Bendigo. Also found 2 buttons, a buckle and a little .2 of a gram nug. :) Old Chinese artifact? Dragon? Seahorse? Any help identifying greatly appreciated.

Picked up a new SPP, yesterday, from the boys in Dunolly. According to the blurb I've seen on this machine it handles EMI very well. Hoping this to be the case and will be trying the following with this machine and my GPX5000: Electric fence vs both Town power vs both 20000v dirty big overhead...

Sunbaker this morning - woohoo! If I do a boot scrape and the signal moves then, normally, so do I. But stopped to check this one. I know what I'll be doing in future.

Found today. 1.85g of the good stuff and this coin, if that's what it is. Need some help with this one. At first I thought it was an 'ordinary' penny but now I'm not so sure. Seems too big. 35mm across, 2.5mm thick and weighs 23g. Any ideas? About the right size for a cartwheel penny but very...

Out for a swing, this morning just outta Bendigo, and these 3 littlies for a total of 1.1 g. Then a coupla blokes, on motorbikes, turn up. One a Ranger and the other a copper. Asked to have a gig at our Miners' Rights. Happy to oblige. All good and legal and our little finds admired. Had a bit...

Anyone have an Eclipse 10" X 6" DD coil, to suit the Whites MXT, for sale? Also consider the Eclipse 'Shooter' 4 X 6 or the Eclipse Deepscan 1400. Thanks

Please excuse my ignorance but what's this? It's got quartz in it but I've never seen this before. Pretty. Please excuse the pic.

Thinking about the MXT300 for the missus. What's a fair price for a second-hand machine in good nick? And how do these machines handle the conditions here in the Triangle? Any help appreciated.

Looking at adding an 18" round coil, for me GPX5000, to the arsenal. The largest I'm running, at the moment, is a 14X9 Coiltek Goldstalker mono. And my main stomping grounds is in Vic's GT. Question is this: mono or DD? I'm working ground were I've pulled a number of sub-grammers and up to a...

Picked these up, over the past few days, near Bendigo. Always amazes me how the 5k can ping such small pieces. Total of 2.4g plus the speci. Still, any gold is good gold. Love this detecting game. :)

Took this box out for a test run this morning and found that, within minutes, the slots in the spray bars clogged with frog blanket. Solved by drilling holes in a bucket, wrapping some mesh around the bucket and dropping it into the drink. Filtered water. In goes the pump, submersible, and job's...
