My next edition of GG&T was overdue so I rang the number on the mag only to get a recorded message that the magazine would resume production next month but there would be no further mailed subscriptions...... only available through a news agency in future. Further, any out standing subscriptions...

Hi all, I'm on my third detector now, SDC, GPX4500 & now GPZ7000 and I've had a common problem with all three using the PRO swing harness. The J struts on all three harnesses pull apart after a few minutes use. I take the harness off & push the two pieces together as tightly as possible & then...

I know that gold had been found in this area historically but...... My son advised me that he found that a 10oz nugget was found on a construction site at Foster (Gippsland) on FaceBook. I haven't heard anything else since so I don't know how accurate this report is (FaceBook??????). Rob.

Hi all, About 6 weeks ago we were bush camped at Moliagul. My wife & I in our van & a friend & his wife in another van. We were sitting around the fire after tea one night when a vehicle came in & headed over to another camp site about a kilometer away. It was a beautiful still night & we were...

Hi all, I'm after advise/help from anyone. My email account was hacked & Microsoft (I think) have suspended my account. To re establish my account I have to receive a security code sent to another email address as mine is suspended. I then have to enter this code & supply info re old emails...

I got home from work last night just on dark & wandered down through the orchard to lock the chook pen for the night. On my way I disturbed some Indian Mynahs that were trying to roost in one of the fruit trees. (I hate Indian Mynhas :mad: ) In the gathering dark they flew away toward a cypress...

Hi guys, I've had very little exposure to the vast range of detectors available now & in the past (apart from the SDC2300 & the GPX4500) which I use. A friend is wanting to join our prospecting past time but doesn't want to start with a GPZ. He has been looking at second hand detectors & is...

Hi all, I'm wanting to buy a pair of the above in new condition. Miners Den are asking $95.00 for a pair but I thought there may be a member with a pair they aren't using/don't need. If you have a pair for sale please let me know the price. Many thanks. Rob.

Yeh .....I know......go to HELL!!!!!! :lol: Next weekend I am leaving for the GT for ONE week of detecting with my wife....... sadly 8.( this will probably be the only week we will get for detecting in the next twelve months due to work & family (first grand child) commitments. At present I...

I've just taken delivery of a new GPX 4500. I got the 14" Elite mono coil with it. I put it together & tried it last night (in the vast expances of my lounge room :))...... The settings I used were those recommended by NuggetMagnet on a Youtube post. I put about 4 grams of gold in a small sample...

I have five hours tomorrow morning (Monday) in the Wedderburn area then I have to return to Gippsland to the gold free area :( . and I would love to go for a swing with the detector. Anyway...... I obviously don't expect specific details but if someone could give me a general location it would...

A question to the more knowledgeable/ experienced members on the SDC. I have been reading & learning as much on my detector as I can & I have read that the auto tracking cancels out emi & interference from mineralized ground. Could the auto tracking also cancel out small feint targets that you...

Could someone who has experience with the SDC please give me some advise. I was told on my Minelab training day when I bought my SDC to run the threshold just above the lower settings. I have done this & found a lot of lead shot so I know this works but the other day while out swinging I met a...

Hi all, I've recently bought my first detector. I went to Miners Den in Bendigo with the intention of buying a GPX5000 but after discussing the matter with Prospector Pete (who works there) he suggested that I would be better off with an SDC 2300. His reasoning was that because I am not yet...
