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

    So yeah i was quite a fool thinking that i would be able to pay my detector off in gold shortly when i bought it in 2019 😂 but nah i love this hobby and its one of the best things i've discovered getting out into nature and the hunt for gold is like nothing else. BUT i would honestly love to...

    12" Evo Or 15 Spoked Evo?

    Shallow Nuggets (Not Near Old Diggings)

    Ive been detecting for around 2 years and something Im still not entirely familiar with is gold bearing ground that is not just near or, on old diggings the only gold Ive ever found has always been on or very near old diggings. My question is say in WA Ive seen lots of people just detecting...

    12 NF, 8x6" Sadie Or SP01 Enhancer?

    Thanks a lot mate, great info and very helpful. Yeah its a hard choice, eventually. Im sure I will have them all but money is a little tight atm. Was concidering selling the 15 but think it might be worth keeping it and persisting in the right ground. Just be nice to have the edge on sub...

    NF 15 Evo Noisy On GPX4500.

    It could very well be in running rx and stab way to high. Looking back Ive had rx gain around 8-9 and Stab usually well above 10. Ill try to dial it right back and let you guys know how it goes. Was losing my mind a couple days ago thought I was in the hottest ground Id come across, signals left...

    12 NF, 8x6" Sadie Or SP01 Enhancer?

    Hey guys, Im looking to get either of these soon-ish and hopefully over time have them all in my Arsenal. Originally I bought the 15 Evo but I find it very noisy for my liking and have a hard time pinpointing with it not to mention the terrain makes it hard to move around sticks constantly...

    Nugget Finder Mono 8x6 Sadie Coil

    I think it may be worth investing in one. Gold on all your outings! how do you do it :argh: I swear i do everything right but hardly come home with a spec of gold. I always blame where i go as being "flogged" but thats just trying to make myself feel better :playful: I don't have a 4x4 (cx5) so...

    Nugget Finder Mono 8x6 Sadie Coil

    After 2 years detecting with my 4500 and 5 or so sub grammars Mostly picked up with the 11 commander and 1 with the 15 evo. Im goldless 95% of my trips out which is all fine but would be nice finding even the tiniest bit of gold Id be happy with on most trips. My question is will a Sadie give...

    How often do you go out detecting?

    I try to get out as much as I can and do wish I lived a bit closer to the golden triangle. Always a good 1.30 hour drive for me so usually end up camping the night.

    NF 15 Evo Noisy On GPX4500.

    Had this coil for little over a year now and used it a dozen times but wow do I struggle with this coil coming from a 11 commander. No matter what settings I try even lowering rx gain below 8 sometimes I can never get it to run smooth. Either giving me constant false sounds or emi like a siren...

    Snake sightings, encounters and reminders.

    Touch wood, I have been very lucky and in my 3 years detecting not once have I seen a snake! My theory is most of the gold areas tend to be quite dry and lifeless. Where have you seen them?

    Reducing EMI On 15 Evo?

    Hey guys Im finding this a very noisy coil. Most times I have to drop the rx gain right down around 6 to keep the ground noise low otherwise it picks up every bit of hot ground. One thing I cant get under control is the emi. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Minelab GPX4500 tips, settings, questions

    Lowering the rx gain does seem to smooth thing out lots. Ive been running in fixed most of the time lately so maybe Ill try tracking thanks. Its more so its a smooth threshold but here an there it picks up pockets of hot ground which leaves me digging holes every where. Im starting to get a...

    Minelab GPX4500 tips, settings, questions

    Thanks a lot, thats a great idea Ill try it. Didnt really have a problem pinpointing with the 11 mono but the 15 is a bugger to pinpoint atm for me.

    Minelab GPX4500 tips, settings, questions

    Been using the 15 spoked evo nugget finder on my gpx4500 and so far it seems great (no gold yet). But Ive noticed a couple things. 1. It seems to pick up hot ground lots more than my 11 commander did, this leaves me digging holes and pulling my hair out wondering what it is but never getting to...
