[QUOTE="Caconym, post: 456227, member: 12032"] What are you people, just hovering around on the site waiting for a newbie to ask for assistance so you can bombard them with friendly, helpful information? What sort of forum is this??? (Edit: sarcasm!) I'll probably jump on the Gold Monster then (unless something better jumps at me in the meantime), but I'll certainly take a second look at the 'Nox 800 before I do. Curious the GMT didn't get any mentions. I guess it's the nostalgia keeping them going rather than competitiveness against newcomers? I still haven't found a picker, just fine alluvial gold. I know Canberra kinda sucks, being in the middle of a bunch of gold with not a lot of it nearby. The pinpointer works fine on my tiny collection of gold (that you could lose under a bitten fingernail) when it's all together in the corner of the jar. It definitely has sweet spots, too. I had images of myself sticking it under rocks and finding hidden nuggets, but I think that was wishful thinking. No regrets though; I don't doubt it will get to see some small nuggets over the coming years, even if I have to go further afield to find them. That's part of the appeal of trying detecting; it should open up more places to go and throughout more of the year (call me a sook but I don't like the idea of sitting in a river in the middle of winter).
