    First impressions of the GPX4500

    Ok before I start let me say: 1: I am no expert and these are my opinions and mine only 2: I have owned a GPZ (for 18 months) so any comparisons I make between the 4500 and 7000 come from my own experience 3: Anything I say may be subject to change as my experience with the 4500 grows. My...

    Vic Goldfields arent always shades of brown and grey..

    Was driving past a worked gully and just had to take a photo. A little too much topsoil to detect successfully but the mullock heaps may be worth a look.

    Value for money ...

    This is what you get when you spend big and get yourself an 80" LED TV - not much in them these days.

    Xmas Gold trip suggestions

    I am planning on having a few days away just after Xmas and cant quite decide where to go. I want to try to get away as far as I can from the usual spots I hunt (Ballarat through to Maryborough) and the associated Xmas crowd with their new toys. Unfortunately I dont have the time to travel to WA...

    Phone call from Minelab

    Just had a phone call from Minelab. I immediately start thinking that perhaps there was a recall on the Zed or some other disaster. Nope. I had won the find of the month back in June and they needed my updated address details! Won a 250USD voucher for Minelab products and a goodie bag. Should...

    Not gold but cool all the same

    While I didn't find gold yesterday, I did find 1/2 of this bullet mold. Just did a little research and it's from a circa 1849 31 pocket Colt. Same type Ned Kelly used.

    Long Time Lurker, New Poster...

    Hi All. Been following the forum for a while and now I have a new detector I thought I had better introduce myself. My name is Pat and, while I have been detecting for a while, I have bitten the bullet and gotten a Zed. Now I have to justify it by getting out more! I own an electronics repair...
