    Rocketaroo Nox hunt finds

    Over a year since my last hunt, and that was with my Deus, which silly me sold because I hadnt used it in ages. Thought I had given the hobby away actually. Anyhoo this is 2020 and I bought a Nox 800, today was my first hunt. It seems to run like a Deus, and after 2hrs on it I think it's pretty...

    Getting back into it

    I gave detecting away maybe 2yrs ago, and really do miss it. I sold my Deus back then. So now I am looking at buying an Orx, or Equinox. I will see Clegy in Newy, and hopefully he can do me a deal. I cant choose between both detectors at this stage. I loved my Deus, so the more affordable Orx...

    Selling My XP Deus.

    My knees are not good anymore, and this decision wasnt easy to make. My Deus comes with the 11inch coil, remote, deus backphones, XP pinpionter, and will be sent in original box. Works like it should, holds its charge like it should. I lost the charger a year ago, so have been using a Samsung...

    Hunting In 2019

    Did a couple hours this arvo, tried 2 new spots, second spot was better, just enough in it to get my ears tuned back in, and test my knees.

    2018 Finds

    I havent detected for maybe 8 weeks, but managed to find a silver on the weekend! So I am kicking off 2018, with a 1920 Silver dime! I bought an american gramophone on the weekend, and amongst the dust, dirt, and rusty needles, I found the dime. Rare find indeed lol

    KT-6808 Chinese Tumbler

    You can get them from ebay, about 80 dollars delivered, from Australian stockist. Came with 2 spare belts, 2 spare O-rings, ball media, a sieve, and polishing powder sample. It does seem alot for the money, I have started on my pennies today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAXL4MLC4JY...

    Tones melding?

    Recently been digging 5c, and 10c pieces, when I expected them to be silver, or copper. Have a theory, that I am liking these signals, due to fullness of them being coins, combined with high tone ferrous in the soil.

    I have bottles.

    Went to look at a cheap mower, for one of my clients today. The guy mentioned that he had old bottles, so I came home with a tub dug by workman, developing a former ww2 army camp.

    Childhood detecting memories

    I first used a detector at age 10 or so. In the late 70s dad bought home a metal detector, it came with us to the beach, and family picnics.....me, and my siblings often found 20c, 10c, etc no pre decs. I remember wanting a more expensive machine, but we couldnt afford it. So, as a kid, guess I...

    Deus 2017 finds

    About 6 weeks since my last hunt, and I pushed myself to do 2hrs this arvo. For the first 30mins I felt like a beginner again, but got it all working eventually. The brit penny has the date under Vickys head, so it could be my oldest coin, pre 1860. Its hard to read, maybe 1847? The roo penny...

    interesting way to fish

    I like his homemade airgun, seems to have magnet on the side, which holds steel shot, and a bike pump for pressure. Fun way to get a feed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld9i_Z8As6Y
