Am after a second hand rotary tumbler for coin cleaning. I am not interested in the vibrating type as I bought one and it's total cr*p. I don't mind if it's old so long as it works. I live near Melbourne airport and would prefer to pay cash & collect but will consider postage if necessary...

Andrew - aka "Mac urban" on this forum found a membership badge with his new CTX3030. He's a bit challenged by fotos on the forum so I'm uploading his images to help out. I have photoshoped the image a bit to try to improve it. So far he has contacted the club but they've updated their database...

I bought a second hand XP Deus - it arrived Thursday morning. I am a happy CTX 3030 owner but a friend had been debating the purchase of a CTX or an XP Deus. I started looking into the XP Deus, primarily for its quick response and light weight. My 'friend' (Hi Andrew) still hasn't bought either...

Hi People, the internet doesn't seem to be supplying much info or maybe there's not much to find. Anyone know of shops selling the XP Deus in Victoria? There's a supplier in Perth but closer to home (Melbourne) would be better. Best regards Robert

Hi People, I did a quick search on the forum on this topic but came up empty. In brief can anyone tell me if Garrett warranties on their gear purchased in Australia is transferable to a person who purchases one of their detectors second hand? So far I have only bought Minelab but an...

Hi, while I wait for my Excalibur to be repaired (fingers crossed) I have been diving without a detector. And there's actually quite a bit of stuff just there on the bottom. Mostly it's just junk like modern plastic, shoes, beach umbrellas, beer bottles and all sorts of heavy iron objects with...

Hi People, this section is specifically for discussion of metal detecting for treasure, coin and relic on land or in the water. My Excalibur is away being fixed (fingers crossed) so I have been scuba diving a bit. I have been finding a few old bottles, black glass through to stuff from the...

for sale Minelab X-Terra 305 environmental cover RPG headphones used - has some scuff marks but otherwise looked after. purchased 3 March 2014 so you still have over a year's worth of warranty (original invoice in box) prefer local pick up simply because the headphones don't fit in the...

I love wading and using my CTX3030. I now have scuba gear and want a detector that I can use under water. For some background I should say that I have a second hand Excalibur, however the threshold is all over the place making it almost useless. I could send it to Minelab to be repaired but the...

thought I might try to keep future posts together. Don't expect anything spectacular because mostly it's going to be beaches, piers & parks. But it's still fun. And of all the addictions I know of (some I have tried) it's definitely the healthiest. Even though I have an Excalibur (thank you SA...

haven't been out much lately, took the CTX3030 out to Altona beach last night at low tide, got in as far as I could go. Most of the finds come from under the pier. Not much to find either side of the pier, the sand looks like it's moved in or someone else is sweeping the beach fairly regularly...

well not really treasure... Altona pier this Saturday with the CTX. Mostly junk and lots of little lead fish. The fish were all found within a 1 meter square buried only about 6-10 cm down. On the other side of the pier in chest deep water I pulled up the 2 lead snakes (eels?) and an Indian...

Hello people. I am in Portland NSW ... its near Bathurst & Lithgow. I have a CTX 3030 and 2 days on my hands. I am from VIC so have no idea of where I should do some detecting? Any suggestions of where to detect and where to avoid would be really appreciated. Best regards Robert

Not sure if this is the correct place for it but.... has anyone hunted on the beaches around Torquay? I've tried Altona, Williamstown, Mornington and Brighton with mixed results (Willy was most disappointing). I have a CTX 3030 and don't mind wading in up to my chest. Best results have been in...

I'm probably telling some of you how to suck eggs - but I've learnt so much from this forum if what I post helps even one person I'd be happy. I recently purchased a second hand CTX 3030 and I love it - even though I reckon I'm using about 20% of its potential. I am not a 'small' individual by...

hi, if anyone has a stainless steel sand scoop surplus to their needs can you please contact me? I am interested in trying some detecting while wading and anything I can make won't stand up to the job. I am located in Reservoir Melbourne but if you're further afield and will to post that...

Hello people, I have been here a bit as a visitor and thoroughly appreciate the information that's been freely available - I still have lots of questions (mainly about parks & crown land) but I'll keep searching through posts rather than annoying people. I do not own a metal detector, yet. That...
