    Pics from all over Australia - Post up

    Wish I could post some pics as nice as those of RM Outback and OzzieAu.but unfortunately I was in a different part of the world.Kosciuszko National Park. Total 360 devastation as far as the eye could see: Kiandra Courthouse before the fires: Kiandra Courthouse after the fires...

    The 44 gallon drum debate.

    I think it was the current cold front moving through Victoria that made us nostalgic :) Edit: Bigwave, check your PM.

    Proposed exploration in NE Vic.

    This is the sort of gold for which NE Vic is now rightly famous :)

    Proposed exploration in NE Vic.

    Yep....which is why I said "Now I know we're talking a difference of scale here......". The main point I was addressing was the "The mine will save us" narrative, which appeared foremost in Edi's post. Fact is, it won't. But, poorly managed, it has the potential to damage the clean and...

    Proposed exploration in NE Vic.

    Mate....if you think that real estate prices have exploded because of a few wrinklies from Melbourne, just wait and see what happens to them when a few overpaid miners arrive in town. See, for example, Karratha: Karratha property prices booming again amid fears locals already being priced out...

    Snake sightings, encounters and reminders.

    Don't worry - if something bit my waders, they'd be well and truly wet inside long before I got into the water :)

    Proposed exploration in NE Vic.

    It's going to be interesting to see how it pans out (sorry).......this area has worked damned hard to build itself a reputation for clean tourist activities......Alpine bicycle activities (perpetual road hazard), horticulture, snow skiing, bush-walking, food and beverage trails, fishing, and...

    Snake sightings, encounters and reminders.

    No Browns here at home (NE Vic) all summer, which is very unusual. Came across small blacks on two occasions when walking to different fishing locations in the Mitta valley last week......wearing waders makes you feel pretty smug :) Their absence here is not particularly surprising.....we've...

    Detector prices on the move

    A sign of things to come? I guess that Steve, being an Alaskan, would have to put in a plug for holding gold :)

    Minelab Equinox tips and questions

    Just spoke to Mike at Miners Den, Melbourne.....he reckons they're expecting stock of the Nox coils some time in March. Suggested I call back late Feb for an update....which I'll do. Gotta get me one of those 10 X 5's.....reckon it will be real handy up in the hills where swinging space is an...

    Equinox 800 For Gold? How Stupid.... And: https://www.detectorprospector.com/forums/topic/12475-equinox-800-for-gold-how-stupid/ Looks like someone's finding gold with the 'Nox. Granted, the Nox isn't up there with the big ones....but then it doesn't cost $8-10k, and I don't have to visit...

    Some of the best detecting can be had in the vicinity of obstacles....'cause every other bugger goes around them :)

    Inglewood Victoria information and questions

    Been there, done that. How can that tree that looked so unique and memorable just a few minutes ago, end up looking like every other damn tree in such a short space of time :)

    Minelab Equinox tips and questions

    I'm beginning to wonder about these coils. I've watched a couple of demo videos, read the Coiltek release and promos, and one thing sticks out like the proverbial........all they talk about is the waters edge, treasure, trash, and all the stuff associated with coin and relic hunting. Not a...

    Inglewood Victoria information and questions

    I always leave the GPS turned on whenever out bush, fishing or detecting. Don't know what your terrain is like, but in the hilly/mountainous country I venture into there is often need for significant detours.....fallen timber, dense bush, overgrown or boggy gullies, mine shafts, and, my...

    Settings affected by changing coils on the 800?

    I have an Equinox 800, which I use with both the 11 and 6 coils. Im seriously considering getting the Coiltek 10 X 5 as well. I change between the 11 and 6 generally for reasons of swinging space, but also because, at times, I find the 11 to be a bit bump-sensitive when clear space between...
