    My New SteelPhase SP01 First Outing

    I went in to Coiltek Maryborough with a suspected battery audio issue and left with a new SP01, the battery was fine by the way. I had been toying with buying an SP01 but they are few and far between at the moment so I didn't hesitate when I saw it. Today I went to a well worked gully not far...

    Detecting the Flats beside workings

    Hi all, I would be interested to have your thoughts on detecting the flats beside old workings. I have noticed that where there is a run of shallow diggings following the old watercourse or in a shallow gully that there are sometimes large flats on each side where the ground is shallow as...

    Brass Mystery Object

    Detecting Old Timer's Shallow Workings - is it worth it?

    I would be interested to get other people's views on this. In My area around Avoca, there are lots of shallow workings from the old timers. I have tried detecting these sorts of areas with no success at all, Mullocks, creek beds, washes etc. Both of my nuggets to date have come from areas...

    After Several hours out near Maryborough, Victoria yesterday I have decided to rename all the trash I dig along the way. I am gonna call these items "Fuggets" because every time I dig a bullet, bottle top, beer can, nail, mystery iron object, foil, etc, I seem to find myself saying "Aw...

    Hi all from Avoca

    Hi everyone, you could say in the last week or so I had an epiphany of sorts.... It goes like this, I live in the Central Vic Goldfields, so why the hell am I not out there with a detector? I used to go gold panning in high school in Castlemaine (Forest Creek) and also on the Loddon in...
