    3 years in this hobby and only 5 sub grammers, have you guys got any advice to have more "success" ?

    There is lots of gold still left in Victoria only its 2 to 3 meters deep. Dig a hole 3 meters down in between the old holes and you can wash out the wash dirt and get an ounce of gold.Why its still there is the oldtimers did not consider this as worth the trouble.

    Detecting Western Australia

    Europe is 50% bigger than Australia and has an area of 10.5 million square kilometres, it extends from Portugal to the Ural mountains. You forgot Ukraine and European Russia which are the two largest countries.

    Turning the Impact into a dedicated nugget hunter.

    After a harrowing flight back to Australia I was finally ready to go to Dunolly on 20 October and try out my more recent additions to the Impact- a Nel Tornado coil for the Impact and a pair of HD Audio Technica headphones. Running in DI3, 20 Hz and 03 Isat gave me a gold tone (16 to 66 ID) to...

    Impact

    Hi Ronnie, just got back from the war zone and hooked up the Nel Tornado coil to the Impact but the connection is too loose so need to buy some plastic washers to make it tighter. Cant believe Nel is is so careless in the manufacturing and did not even provide the plastic washers. Did you end up...

    Legend v Deephunter

    I am in Belarus with lots of munitions in the ground from WW 2 so even the Deephunter may not prevent you digging up a hand grenade. Only the dearer imaging models costing heaps more at $ 10,000 would stop you being blown up. Belarus has tremendous potential for finding valuable artifacts as...

    Legend v Deephunter

    Due to my advanced age the Legend dig up every target is pretty useless for me as I haven't got much time to lose, and it only has AM mode if I remember correctly.. For gold prospecting I would be more interested in the Deephunter as it gives a probability in percentage figures as to what metal...

    Bush land reserves Victoria.

    They are called NATURE CONSERVATION RESERVES . These reserves contain gold bearing gullies in the GT and are crucial hot the prospector. We might all have to become night owls.

    Impact

    I think digging up every signal was a good idea back in the early 1980,s especially behind the old schoolhouse at Kingower.Back then we were really detecting virgin ground and previously weekend prospectors used to go out panning and specking after heavy rain, but they only got the ones that...

    Impact

    There are two schools of thought. One is to dig up everything willynilly until you find a nugget and the other is to detect until you find a nugget and then dig it up. Noktka is clearly in the latter camp.

    Impact

    A PI with hot rock, ferrous, gold,silver, steel identification and tin foil masking and able to exclude all false signals would only come from the planet Krypton. :playful: :playful: :playful:

    Impact

    I might be a legend considering all the fights and bans I've had on this forum about the Impact because I will just not lie down. :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: Well fellas here is my opportunity to say my peneth worth on what I think about the Legend for what its worth. The Legend WHP and the Pro are...

    Impact

    Hi Ronnie. Mine was blessed by the cleric from the Blue Mosque when they brought them back to the factory and in Muslim tradition the first 200 units had to be given supernatural powers :rainbow: :rainbow: I'm looking for depth and ease of picking up signals, hence the 13 inch width on the...

    Impact

    Hi Ronnie, just a quick one on the Nel Superfly which is Nels newest coil from 2020. I bought a Nel Tornado for my Impact early this year from my Minsk supplier for AUD 200. Was very impressed by the build quality but they do not supply a cable with it. Two days delivery to our door free of...

    Impact

    Hi Ronnie, as I will be camping out on the diggings all winter in 2022 IF I GET BACK due to covid-19 but I will send you a PM with my mobile number and you can come and join me as I have some good spots lined up and drawn up dozens of maps from GeoVic . I will see how the GT pans out in 2022 and...

    Impact

    Hi Ronnie, it really is totally immune as I claim. I first reported this on my first outing with the Impact back in May 2017 in a thread entitled " Impact Tames Havelock Goldfield " and soon after one at Dunolly. No one on the forum even made a comment about it which shows the animosity out...

    Impact

    One good reason to buy the Impact is for gold prospecting as it is totally immune to the very high mineralisation in Victoria's GT. However it is 4 and a half years old and no one has made a performance comparison between it and the Anfibio Multi and Anfibio 19 and Equinox 800. So we are none...

    Multi Kruse question for Nokta Macro

    Hi Ronnie, I thought the Spectra imaging thing was new tech like the Nokta Invenio which sells for around AUD 12,000 in Minsk for the dearer model. All these models are on the online store in Minsk including the Impact Pro but not the standard Impact as it is not in stock which may be the case...

    Multi Kruse question for Nokta Macro

    Hi Ronnie, been bashing my brains about your particular problem and even looking up my local supplier in Minsk. The Whites Spectra V3i sells at around AUD 2800 and has a video screen which shows the actual target, so rusted tin would have jagged edges and nuggets tend to be rounded and lumpy...

    Multi Kruse question for Nokta Macro

    Hi Ronnie, that was just an example of what the notch filter can do and you can mask out any unwanted rubbish if you place it on the ground and find out its ID.I haven't tried it with rusted tin as I found in the GT most areas are very clean and few rusty nails etc.etc. so that is of little...

    Multi Kruse question for Nokta Macro

    Hi ronnie, surprising about the discrim. modes not picking up the signal. I used to constantly test the machine at 20 Khz on a 3/4 inch long gold specimen I have and in D12 it goes 5 inches deep compared to AM 3 inches deep. I intend to persevere even after 40 hours in the field coming up empty...
