[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 641816, member: 4728"] Hi Xadz. Honestly I can’t think of anywhere that would be kind to a VLF detector In the Victorian goldfields as I have generally found Creswick one of the better ones. It was the grief that ground noise here in OZ caused to the early VLF detectors that prompted Bruce Candy of Minelab to develop the SD detector series which to a large degree tamed the ground noise problems. Xadz you have well earned your first success however I think you will only risk dampening your enthusiasm if you persevere with a VLF machine in goldfield soils. You are obviously detecting well but your success is going to be impaired without an adequate machine. Rather than spending money on your next trip to a GT goldfield, I suggest you immediately consider putting that money towards upgrading towards something like a good used 5000 with a range of coils to detect both small and large gold. They can be had for around $4000 and will alleviate your ground noise issues. I am sure your enthusiasm (and success) will be even greater with the prospect of hitting any goldfield you choose with a detector up to the task. [/QUOTE]
