Hi, Last weekend I found a shallow test hole which is around 2 meters long by 1/2 meter wide and I detected the throw out from it. Within a minute I detected a target and pulled out a small nugget and before filling the hole in I got another 4 from what I had scraped out. Within an hour I had 9...

Great Detector and easy to use. It's found many coins for me in the bush and on the beach, including a number of gold rings buried at depth. What I like about this machine is the discrimination mode to block out unwanted iron and sensitivity on small stuff. Comes with three coils, the smaller...

Great machine and proven gold finder (ask Prospector Pete) I have to many toys and have decided to part with it, comes with 17"x11",14",11"and 9"Elite coils and the original Commader 17x11 coil. All work and never had problems. 17"x 11", 11"and 9"are less than a year old. Also practically new...

Hi, I've just purchase a good second hand 4500, I've taken it out once and tried a few different settings and picked up shot, bullet and alike so I must be doing something right. My SDC picks up a 0.25gram at a depth of 3 inches with no problems, the 11"DD coil in DD mode doesn't.....however if...

Hi all, Is there a way to convert old 1865 Gold Bearings to our current GPS format or something I can work with? Eg: I have "Prince of wales" mine in Ballarat as below Any tips? Thank you Mick

hmm, this is something different. Anyone heard of them. I hear a fellow in Oz is about to import them http://hotfootrug.com/Rug_Packages.html

Hi All, I'm thinking about heading back to Dunolly next week for 3 days as my last trip (my first trip) I stumbled upon a small quartz reef which looked liked it hadn't been worked (I don't know for sure), chunks of square blocks poking out of the ground intact, only about 20mtrs long and just...

When out in the bush, how do people charge their AA, C or battery packs. I know there are those portable 12V chargers with USB, 12V ciggy slots, LED lights, etc on top....but i can't think what there called or where to find them? Any advise on a brand or link to them? Thanks

Ive had this detector for around 3 months and I must say that its an awesome machine and has found me a couple of small nuggets only recently. Its response time is so quick at 56kHz and it picks up the smallest of targets. Its a regretful sale as I love this machine, but I need to get rid of...

Hi all, Came across a good find this morning on the beach. It was at around 6" down In packed wet sand. All I know that it's a sterling silver type chain as it has 92.5 on the back, the rest is a mystery. The opals are quite clear until the light comes through them, then the colours appear. Just...

Hi All, I tested out my new Gold Racer in a Victorian Goldfield of Whroo/Rushworth last weekend. It was so full of mozzies it was unbelievable, even the general store had sold out so I had to duck into Mooroopna and stock up. I've tried out the Gold Racer on general coin shooting in other...

I have an old street map from 1867 showing the old streets and blocks of land. This old town is well gone and hidden somewhere in Pine Forrests. Along the side of each Street and where it may angle off it looks like LAT/LONG would this give an indication to where the town was? EG: along the...

The only reason I'm selling is I've purchased another detector so I need to sell this one to pay for it. It's a regretful sale as it really is a good detector and hits hard on deep buried coins. Great relic detector and has found me some nice coins and gold chains. There is a slight nick above...

detecting over some old farm land and came across this penny. Picture doesn't show it justice as it's in really good condition. It has a funny smooth feel to it, not like a normal penny would, it's as though it feels lacquered...does this sound right? Mick

Hi All, Anbody know of where to detect for gold around the Albury Wodonga area. I've done the Beechworth to Eldorado area and since being alluvial it's not worth the detecting. Has anybody done work around Tumut, Tumbarrumba, Corryong area. Just interested to know or should I head down Ballarat...
