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 ?

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.

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 !

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...

Got 8 bits now from an area I love to hit close to home. Garrett AT Gold. All metal mode. Sensitivity 1 notch from the top. Threshold on 3. GB on 82. GB window on 6. Here's some pics.

My new sluice. This is the 4th one I have built so it should catch more gold than the first 3. The main thing was trying to get more dirt through it between clean outs. I reckon this one will handle about 6 cubic metres. This is the bottom section. Just waiting for the top to come back from the...

Got to go and check out my new permission today. I found a few semi deep shafts and heap of broken up quartz. Brought home about 2-3 kg and I have found some gold in it so I will definitely be going back there. Due to it being very remote I reckon they would have only taken quartz with good...

Went back to one of my old spots yesterday and tried a new approach. I detected all the bits that had blackberries or bush on them and picked up this little beauty. .7 grams. Was with the 11 x 8 DD about 6 inches down. It came up as a 4 with a little bit of grunt with the iron audio on. When I...

Got a couple more specimens with the Garrett this month and a little Aussie nug from Inglewood. Very happy with the AT Gold but I can't wait to get an Infinium over these spots. :P

Been going to a new spot nice and close to home. It's a reef working and I have been getting some nice specimens there. Time to take the rake on the next visit ! Loving the AT Gold for the price I paid. It has already paid for itself in 6 months with coins and gold !

After waiting for months I have finally got permission to detect a house built in 1863. The house is still there and someone lives in it. He finally replied to my message today and said I can go over for a look. I'm totally stoked. Hopefully the rain will hold off tomorrow. Keep ya eyes on this...

Went back out to one of my favourite spots nice and close to home yesterday. Got a couple of coins on the way there and scored a nice little .41g in some pipe clay. Settings were: Sensitivity up full, ground balance window on 5, threshold on +1, on all metal mode with a 5 x 8 DD coil. It read at...

Went to a new spot today and got this little one .2g I was there to go relic hunting so I'm pretty wrapped that I came home with gold !

Anyone had a swing out at Fryerstown? If so how did you go? Any particular areas that I should get into? Thanks ;)

Does anyone on here know how to go about getting a miners right claim in Victoria? Do you just go and peg out your area and then inform the dpi? Any help would be great. Thanks

I just got my new 9 x 12 coil today and was wondering if anyone has used one of these on an AT Gold and what are the advantages/disadvantages to a mono coil?

Does anyone on here know how to clean copper off gold. Some of the gold I have melted down has come up with a coating of copper and I would like to clean it off some how. I was thinking maybe an acid of some type. I have been using borax to get rid of impurities but it doesn't seem to get rid of...

I usually only go detecting for gold but have recently been loving coin hunting. The question I have is do you find more coins etc in wet sand or up dry at the beach? I want to hit the beaches a bit more and I own an Garrett AT Gold so I can't go near the wet sand or water so I would love to...

Couple of hours with the highbanker :)
