Hi all, been awhile since I've posted here. Just recently gotten back into prospecting and came across a couple junk "oddities" while re-visiting a small creek where I've had some luck in the past. Detected a few of these within half a meter of each other (submerged under water at bottom of...

Hi all -- finally decided to purchase an Equinox 800 from a mate who only used it a few times. Spent the first day or two just learning it's ways in the yard and for a quick swing at a local park where I picked up a few moderns and a three pence (1936). Then today decided to do a few hours at...

Hi guys -- dropped into a large garage sale down my road where a few residents had setup stores and was pleasantly surprised to find a nice elderly lady tending a small store with a bunch of old relics that had clearly been detected (hundreds of Chinese coins & relics, WWII bullets, etc) and a...

Hi guys, posting this in the 'Meteorites' section as it's the only idea I have but could well be something else I'm oblivious to... Went out detecting with my SDC 2300 at a random dried creek looking for new gold locations. Didn't find any gold, but I found these 2 little "rocks" which sound...

Heya guys, pulled this out of a creek while taking out my newly purchased SDC for it's first spin -- has me stumped! It's about 20mm long. The small text says "STG Silver". Any ideas as to what it is??

My Whites GMT stock 6x10 coil is deteriorating to the point that I can no longer put the gain setting passed 5 without it going into signal overload (is this a common occurrence with these coils?) I'd like to replace it with another working coil, thinking another 6x10 is safest bet but I'd...

Hi guys -- hoping you can help me identify this little tiny ball I found sitting at the bottom of my pan. In a small creek that I doubt very few people have been let alone mined (or so I'd hoped), dense rainforest and quite a difficult hike to get there. I found some gold flakes in the same...

Wouldn't mind getting a hold of one of these bucket pans but brand new they're a bit pricey for $295! If anyone is willing to part with theirs I'd be interested for the right price (so long as it's not rusted and in okay condition). Or alternatively I'd also be interested in the Pyramid Pro Pan.

Hi all -- long time no see. Work/life has kept me away from my love of finding gold for too long these past few years... finally though I'm getting some time to re-capture the gold bug and get on the hunt again! :inlove: Hoping you guys can help me with this one: There's this creek that wraps...

Hi everyone Haven't had the time unfortunately to do much with regards to prospecting myself this past couple years (though definitely plan on getting back into it once I have a bit more time) - however a mate of mine is pretty active and every now and then asks for my technical expertise in...

Was out on a farmers property in far north Queensland - the owner gave me permission to prospect on it after having seen me panning on a creek nearby. He mentioned a dry run off that he thinks might once have been the location of an old gold mine, but he wasn't sure. Did say that a fella went...

Hi everyone, Finally heading down to Victoria for a couple weeks with the family and have set aside a few days to see if I can finally put my modest little Whites GMT to good use! Accommodation has been booked for 3 days at Castlemaine, but we will have a car and I'm prepared to do a bit of...

Hi guys, Looking to purchase my first highbanker and have decided to go for one I found that appears to me to look like a quality made/designed piece of equipment - however with my limited experience I would like to get some confirmation on whether or not this is indeed the way to go. The...
