    87 Ounce Nugget found

    It wasn't found by C.G.S tours ! The guy watched one of their videos and took some pointers. Seems to be a lot of bullshit floating around about this nugget. They have said it came from Inglewood/ Kingower area. Would be closer to Kingower than Inglewood as there is only one patch of bush in...

    Ancient Roman or Celtic coin ?

    Sorry I forgot to put the other side up. Here it is. I have had a lot of people look at this coin and not one of them has been able to determine if it is real or fake. The best story I have heard so far is that it is a Templar repo which aparently was a common thing for the Templars to do. Also...

    Ancient Roman or Celtic coin ?

    I found this coin on the banks of the Yarra River with my Garrett At Gold. Still really have no idea what it is. I have been told it is ancient Celtic or Templar coin but still haven't found any real information. Maybe someone on here might know ?

    GPZ7000 release, questions and information

    The rep from minelab said that the new machine will come out in the next 12 months. When asked if it would be a small upgrade from the GPX or a leap in technology he told us that it would be a big leap in technology so get ready to dig some huge holes ! He also mentioned that minelab are working...

    MINELAB F1A4 ex military metal detectors - tips, settings, questions

    Clocked up 15 hours with my F1 and got onto this bit. I have only done audio, coil socket and GB button mods and a Li-Ion battery mod. I was using a 24 x 12 UFO to find the nugget but I needed to put a smaller coil on to actually get it out of the ground. I couldn't pin point it with the UFO and...

    F1A4 first bit

    After about 15 hours of swinging I finally got a bit with my F1. I put a 24 x 12 inch UFO coil on and got a target but couldn't bloody pin point it so I went back to the car and put a smaller coil on and pinged this little beauty. 8.4 Grams at about 16 - 18 inches deep.

    F1A4 maiden voyage

    The first time out with my new F1A4. Took it to a spot where I have found 9 nuggets so far. I didn't get any gold but I was very impressed with the Minelab machine. I will get a few more mods done now. LANGUAGE WARNING !

    (DIY) F1A4 Simple Mod information (hope it helps)

    So I have been toying with the idea of putting a D class amp inside my F1A4 and use a volume control on it. That way there will be only one connection for the speaker instead of running cables to an amp box. I would also be tapping into the F1's power supply and not have to carry a spare 9v...

    (DIY) F1A4 Simple Mod information (hope it helps)

    I have been told that the ground balance wiring is wrong on these diagrams. Can anyone tell me any different ? I have been given a new wiring diagram but I am not sure if I should change it or not yet. If anyone on here has done these mods and knows if the ground grab works or does it need to be...

    (DIY) F1A4 Simple Mod information (hope it helps)

    I have finally got mine and done the coil socket and ground balance button and I just made an adapter for the audio. Just scored some of Woody's batteries so I can do the battery mod but I am trying to decide if I should go with a SD style 4 pin plug on the side of the battery compartment or...

    Miner's right claim

    Has anyone got any more info on this thread ? I really want to peg out a small claim on my patch. No machines just dig by hand under a miner's right. If I can't get a proper claim then I am just gonna have to head out there and put a big bloody fence around it and start digging !!!

    New spot in the GT.

    I went to a spot I have been driving past for over a year and I always see someone camping there and having a swing. I have always assumed that the area would be flogged but after about 10 bits of lead I new I would hit a nugget sooner or later. I ended up with 6 bits all very small but I love...

    Garrett AT Gold Information, Questions, Settings and Tips

    I love my AT Gold. I have found just under an ounce in 10 months with it and heaps of coins. I find that if I am going to a high mineralised area then I take a little nugget with me and put it down on the noisy ground so I can tune correctly for it. I the AT loves mullock heaps and white clay...
