Sorry - just re-read your query. - For my 705 with Gold Head Double-D coil, the gold-coated jewellery comes up as a 10-12 (eg like ear-rings, etc) - Silver jewellery registers as 24-28 (not sure why) - Gold ring (never found one yet, but tested one I have) comes up as 12-14 As I only have...

Hi Co, See if you can get a second-hand or new Gold head (Double-D) - (X-TERRA 705 Gold Pack - 10x5” elliptical lightweight 18.75 kHz). I haven't found any nuggets with it, but found some quartz with specs of gold - this made the 705 waver between 26 to 28 and strangely 40+ readings. I was in an...

Hi Buggalugs, I used to live in Imbil in the 70s and was guided by my neighbour (Weiland) as a boy on some of the creeks between Imbil and Brooloo. We panned mostly and found gold most times, but mostly specs and few small rice size nuggets. There were a few old mines in the hills on that area...

Excellent advice and information that you have provided so freely, Loamer. Thank-you so much.

Yes GHT, copped the result of something like this yesterday while detecting Maroochydore Beach (which has lost some 8-10ft off the sand banks in places, revealing old stones of old rivers beds). Anyway, I picked up about 20 or more little corroded pieces of alum cans that were probably buried...

5/10 for me 😞

Have the same background LostNtired....plus choppers. Good to hear about the Bose Sleepbuds. Really cheeses me off sometimes.

Ha. Sorry Goldirocks, I mistook it for slang for Australia 😉 I don't think so. I have found Ostrea-like but curvy bivalve fossils many years ago, but they were up north of Yuleba and Roma.

River that makes up some of the NSW-Qld border. Sorry, my bad spelling. The Dumaresq River; a perennial stream of the Macintyre catchment within the Murray–Darling basin

Found North West of the Damureque River

More photos of fossilised soft body 'sea' creatures from the cliffs of Lake Maraboon.

I've found similar lots of very brown 5, 10 & 20c and only a few modern dollar coins detecting on my little beach on the river in Maroochydore. Lots of one off ear rings.... but the most annoying thing is heaps of sinkers 🤨 I am sure that someone thinks it's a good joke to throw them around for...

See my image.... there are heaps of fossil impressions on the cliff rocks of the Lake Maraboon. Many are impressions of soft jellyfish, some worm like creatures and others I can't work out. However, I found these at the low water area in April 21 - by now they would be under a huge amount of...

We had tiny baby fish in our water tank once. No idea how they got there. But this was after a cyclone 🌀 in north Qld

There is a hill in Ipswich, Qld, - Castle Hill, which we passes regularly when I was a boy. There was always smoke coming out of the earth on the hill. My father called it the dragons laire. In reality, it was an underground burning coal mine with a great and sad story. See...

Very good finds. Well done :Y:

Hi all, I've been living / working all over Oz and the world (ex Service) and haven't really been prospecting for gold. Mostly scraping and planning and dry blowing. I am a keen rock hound and have good collections of semi-precious and gems and fossils. Also cabachon most semi-precious stones...
