    Swing stick for vertical walls.

    Does anyone use a modified swing stick on their detector to detect vertical walls, such as excavator trenches? The detector becomes awfully heavy after a while just using it normally, with one hand. wiley.

    Snakes around the house.

    Today my 5 year old grandson yelled out he saw a brown snake in the back yard of the house. We went and had a look for it, but couldn't find it. About 3 hours later, my daughter yelled out she'd seen a brown snake, about 1.5 metres long in the front yard. We looked for that one too, but couldn't...

    Aiming driving lights.

    I'm fitting a pair of driving lights to the bullbar. Is there any tricks to aim them properly? Do I aim them straight down the road? Or, do I aim them slightly outward, so I can spot suicidal kangaroos lurking behind the trees?

    Where has Zoom Earth gone?

    I used to switch from Google Earth to Zoom Earth when checking potential prospecting spots, but Zoom Earth now has only weather maps. Does anyone know if It's still there, maybe under a different setting? Are there any sites similar to google maps? Thanks, wiley.

    I.D. Help. Are these old rainwater gutters?

    Gutters? Cast iron? I found these when I was digging up an old galvanised water pipe that was under the driveway. they were laid upside down over the water pipe probably to protect it from heavy traffic. I've never heard of metal gutters before, but, they certainly are the same shape as gutters...

    Removing old roofing screws.

    Does any one know how to remove those old roofing screw that have a rounded head with a slot for a screwdriver? The slots are to shallow to be able to apply enough force to turn them, as the screwdriver slips out of the slot. I've tried vice grips on them, but the heads being so round, they...

    I've just bought a 2nd hand caravan, which has a large variety of solar equipment and charging items of which I know nothing about, so I'm hoping someone can give me a bit of an idea what it all does.

    Question for 6000 owners.

    A while back I found a run of small specimens. Over 200 pieces. I found about 150 first with the 7000, then 50 with the 2300, and last, 10 with the 10" X coil. Do you think it would be worth buying a 6000, to regrid the patch? Or, couldn't the 6000 do any better against those units?

    What Is/Was Pipeclay And How Is It Formed?

    A guy was telling me that Pipeclay is super heated Quartz that has melted down and dissolved into Pipeclay. I'd never given it much thought? So I'd like to know if he's right? Wiley.

    Anti scam security app for mobiles etc.

    I've got a Trend Micro Mobile Security app on my phone, but I'm not sure how good it is. Does anyone on the forum know anything about this app, and is there any that are better?
