It's looking good :)

neville, If you had a pneumatic drill and small generator you'd have broken the rules. We're only allowed hand tools, nothing electric or pneumatic. In many cases a good quality hammer and chisel (with safety glasses) will do a better job anyway.

In all the years I've used the GPX4500 I've only had two faults. The most likely is the curly cable to the battery. It gets a good workout and usually breaks near the plug and providing no other damage is done it's an easy fix. I'd start there. The only other fault I had was the big nut securing...

Perhaps you are carrying too many. How often do you change coils and which ones do you actually use?

Yes same problems with the missing Data layer so I emailed David. He said I just have to add at least one data layer but in the past I've had most of them. All sorted after a couple of attempts and a restart. Now I've installed Trilobite onto my iPad and that works but the original copy on my...

Should be more careful 😂

I was watching a guy on YouTube swinging the E1500. He was using the target ID to avoid the bird shot. Have you noticed the ID difference between lead and gold of a similar size?

The first Australian-made orbital rocket is on the pad

After my Keens came apart at the seams I replaced them with another pair that let me down badly. Again they came apart at the seams so I went to Perth in search of something better. I wanted light weight boots because I'm light weight and get tired feet after scrambling over a few kilometres of...

First you have to find it 😏 and then the price only matters if you sell it :cool: Otherwise in only adds to the fever :eek:

I haven't seen rain for months. This afternoon I was all strapped in ready to fly until I asked for clearance to start. The reply was a warning of a severe thunder storm approaching from the NW. I'm quite sure it only happened because I've just paid for four days hire on a 10'x6' cage trailer...

They look really good but I prefer to drown out some of the ground noise between the coil and the stones however for that price they should to be good value.

OldRick, at 51 you are certainly not old but I wish I'd have made the move to the goldfields 20 years ago. We did as you're suggesting and sold our house in suburbia and bought one on the goldfields for less than a third of the price. We divorced the banks after looking after them for more than...

HaHa. Michael the GPX6000 would have to be one of the most unreliable machines to have ever been produced and survived in any market. Perhaps the only reason in has continued to be sold is that it is one of the best performing gold detectors and Minelab are quick to respond to the many, I guess...
