Have a Whites SPP for sale, its a bit over 12 months old & in excellent condition. It hasn't had a great deal of use & also has the conductivity switch fitted, done properly with the correct plug. 2 coils, the Whites 12" round mono & a Razorback 7.5x12" folded mono which is under 12 months old...

Hi everyone, just looking for some info about Creswick as I want to get a few buckets of gravels to try out at home but not sure what area to dig in. From what I understand Slaty creek is alright pretty much anywhere & I've looked on Google maps & GeoVic 3 to try & get an idea but I've only been...

Looking into trying a couple things & wondering what sizes are best to use in a highbanker. I looked on ebay & it seems 3.25 & 4.75 holes in the Perforated sheet would be a good size but wanted to make sure, I was thinking 4mm first but couldn't find any in tat size, & the expanded mesh (angled)...

The batteries we have for the highbanker pump are both the lead acid calcium type, one is an AC Delco 80ah, the other is an RACV branded battery & is 95ah, both are cranking not deep cycle. I was trying to find info about charging but its a bit hard to find charge rates etc. The best I could...

Short vid of our Sluicy Gold GS10 highbanker, first highbanker we've had, I decided to do mods & add a spray bar, not so much for breaking up clay but more for helping to keep gravels in the hopper a little longer to hopefully break them up a bit better as this model H/B only has water come in...

Been thinking about trying to design & build a highbanker as a bit of a project & as cheap as possible, (not in any hurry), so been checking out a fair few different designs & ideas from other people & have a couple of ideas myself, but being pretty new to it all I would like to know what others...

Only started panning not long back, recently found a spot & have been getting small specs of gold in most pans, first gold I have found since getting into the hobby with detecting a bit over 6 mts ago. Anyway, in the creek, I'm getting specs from the gravels near the surface, then about a foot...

Picked this Sluicy high banker up today, unused, was going cheap on Facebook so decided to get it, its a GS10 model from Sluicy gold equipment. Just need to get a few other bits & pieces now to get it set up, not enough water from the garden tap. Any tips on the matting to use would be helpful...

From what I understand the Razorback coils made for ML detectors perform very well on them, but there is little info about the RB coils compared to similar NF & CT coils so wondering if anyone here has used the RB coils on their Minelab detectors, & if so, what are your thoughts on them, do they...

I read on Facebook that wind can effect EMI, like if you're near power lines & wind is blowing from your position towards power lines then EMI would effect detector less than if its blowing from direction of power line towards your position. Like the wind is blowing the EMI away, is this true...

Finally got the RB Longreach coil, 7.5x12 folded mono, will be good to get out in the goldfields & give this thing a run & see how it compares to the standard 12" round mono from Whites. Will do a bit of a comparison when I can soon. Going to try it out on some coin hunting as well, both...

Been doing some research on the Lal-Lal area & decided to go for a quick look out there last weekend, didn't go into the bush to far as I only have a 2wd & some of them tracks look a bit rough, we had seen a bit of rain the week before but it didn't look to wet though so that was alright. Just...

On Facebook today & was told Whites are testing a new detector & that they won their court case against Minelab (not sure when that happened) about the patents. Anyway, this new detector sounds like its meant to be pretty good, better than the SDC 2300 & close to GPZ 7000, if that's the case...

We haven't been into prospecting for very long & haven't had the chance to see much in the way of gold & haven't found anything ourselves yet either, but on the weekend we (brother & myself) decided to go for a quick drive up to Dunolly, Maryborough etc just for a look around but didn't do any...

First of all I would just like to say thankyou to GoldPick for making & sending me the conductivity switch for the SPP & giving me instructions on how to install & test it out. Very much appreciated mate. Here are a few pics showing how I done it so other newbies like myself can get a good idea...

I'm trying to work out what sort of sweep speed I should be using, I often hear & read people saying "low & slow" & have been told the Whites detectors like the SPP we have should be used with a slower sweep speed than other detectors, but when looking at video's it seems people are sweeping...

Just out of interest, I was wondering how the Whites detectors compare to other brands, like how the TDI Pro Oz, SL & SPP compare to the Garret & Minelab detectors, or any other P.I detectors I don't know of, is the TDI Pro Oz as good as the ATX, is it better or worse, which ML pulse inductions...

Hi all, just after a few tips if thats ok. My brother has decided to get a sluice/high banker so we can try out, I've checked a few out & we will get the Sluicy Gold equipment GS 11 model. Neither of us has used one or seen one in action before although I have seen a couple of youtube vids but...

Yesterday I called into the local historic society rooms & was talking to a couple of elderly people who look after it, the lady was telly me why there's so much lead pellets all over the gold diggings. She was saying that the old miners, when finished digging/mining for the day, would grab the...

Hey everyone, just after a little advice on panning if possible. Got myself a medium size pan & wouldn't mind trying it out but have only ever used a pan once back when I was in high school, must of been nearly 30 years ago. Is there any specific way I should move the pan & how much dirt or...
