    Is this gold? My son found it smashing rocks at Kenilworth.

    Follow advice here. Scratch.... Smash.... Passs.... Jokes aside..smash it out then try to flatten it with a hammer. Flattens....stays same colour...gold. All else, shattered, changes its false. Done it for years but hey, some still trick me till I try those things. Good luck.

    Central Vic floods

    Ps. It aint over. Few weeks ago the ants were building up the nests. Then I went for a detecting go for some relics in Inglewood a drive away. That day the ants stopped building up, they were evacuating the nests everywhere! Said to the misses, "the rain aint over, was big a couple of weeks...

    Central Vic floods

    All are now open mate. But I went visiting today about 60 k away. All are open but watch out for thick gravels washed over the roads, slowed down 5 times for that and some shallow water which wasnt a problem if you slow when you see it. Unfortunately several idiots hammered through the water and...

    Detech to release range of coils for the Garrett Axiom

    Agree, the 6000 is in it. But and not but the 6000 is below, but the 5 if you know it with some stuff using the Evos does some things. Many say the 5 is done. Done my butt. Some settings on the 5 do the 6. 6 in some places is king. But dont for 1 second think the 6 is the ultimate and negates...

    Detech to release range of coils for the Garrett Axiom

    Iv been following the Axiom since it was first mentioned before being released. It looked promising. But after release it didn't. I watched numerous videos of it with guys down on their knees, even the guy from the US forum here in OZ with others all with garden trowels picking at virtual...

    An interesting find, or a cruel joke?

    I used to know the bloke who made and planted the DH tokens. He is not around anymore. They were as common as flies back in the 80s and 90s. I only caught him out by accident one day detecting with him. I was walking over to him as he had just dug something up, he didn't see me, he looked at...

    Minelab GPX5000 vs GPX4500

    Not true. Was at a trial of numerous versions and they were all the same. 5000s included. This had been said about all the PI's. Though there were some dog early SD 2100s that Minelab denied had issues. But apart from that they all went the same depth. Yes though some were a bit more flighty...

    Help with fly problem

    At home we use clear plastic bags filled with water and place a dozen 10c coins in them and hang them near our outside doors. Its a proven fly deterrent. The science behind it is they are not fans of large bodies of water. The coins catch the light and to the flies multi whatever eyes the...

    Weighing the Passengers

    I know people who I refuse to let in my car these days. I gave a lift to a guy years ago that damaged my seat in a Ford I had at the time. Never again. Need a lift? Call a tow truck.
