Any ideas as to where is the best place to sell a Gold Detector? Gumtree, or Ebay. Ebay seems expensive for fees. Or should i simply post here? Ebay is more trustworthy. I tried buying a GPZ a few years ago on gumtree and found people very difficult to close the transaction, so gave up with it...

Totally agree with Bush, be prepared to be bitten, always have a 'snake bite kit' and know your first aid, and sometimes the bites are only from bull ants, especially when accidentally stepping on one of their many nests. As for worth it, Generally NO, when it comes to finding gold. But if your...

Ok, New Update. My 35 is experiencing the same issues again, when using it in full high setting. Will begin warranty process again. This time i will contact ML and see what they can do for me, without revisiting the local Anaconda where i got mine from. They are reluctant to help there and...

Like with anything like this, you have to weight up the risk. There are so many risk factors from the old mines even if you become a trained expert. Often these risks are something that uses up a companies resources to manage and mitigate in order to allow a team to enter the mine for sampling...

Definitely gloves. I am lazy to put them on. Nearly paid the price with bullants, since the target was under it's nest. Before i could even start to dig, i was getting attacked (in defense of their nest) and bitten up my leg (with long pants on). They get into your shoes and climb up your leg...

Ok, finally an update. After a big hell of a warranty problem with the outlet (anaconda) not caring too much, they advised that they (minelab) don't repair the faulty units. So it was swapped over. I now have the replaced unit and it works at full sensitivity. It is extremely valuable since i...

Ok, new update to this one. The profind 35 is in for repair. Now just waiting to get it back, so it will take a short time over the Christmas period. I'll post the results when done.

The way things are going, i am hoping that veac and the bugu.org.au are working out, since it stops all my fantastic pass times. Camping, 4wding and prospecting. All because the premier and his greens member wants to stop us by turning golden triangle areas into national park no go zones. I...

Hi My mate has a 7000 and never finds anything. He detects next to me (not too close), yet the old 5000 seems to still do the trick nicely for me. I might find 25 pieces of junk and 1 piece of small gold. He finds 15-20 pieces of junk and gives up. I keep on his back and then we swapped units...

Hi, I was considering one of those, but still use a traditional pick, it's hard to go to anything else, since the pick seems to cop a hiding with tough rocks and it survives 5 years so far. My question has always been how to carry the thing. The detector is enough to manage, but the pick is...

Hi VicGoldHunter, Re: MineLab Pro Find 35. It's not you. The profind 35 is extremely sensitive when turned on with full sensitivity. I use mine successfully by using it one notch down from full. Full sensitivity is too sensitive it senses nearly every piece of metal nearby, almost unusable in...
