Help Support Prospecting Australia:
Yeah no worries. Have got one high powered disc on now & that will pick up screws, nails etc. but they don't stick with any force. Looking for a couple of 100mm blocks to try & spread more of the magnetism along the rake to improve holding. Balking at the price at the moment :lol:
An all terrain one of these would be the go:
Edit: One reason I'm balking at putting too many $$$'s into it is I'd say about 75% of the trash I get is lead or non ferrous but there are a couple of nice spots I know that are littered with iron.

i have one on my fridge that i ended up wrapping in plastic so i could get it off easier,holds 20 sheets of paper on fridge easily but if on its own you need to pry it off so why i put plastic around it

With a motorised detector swinging behind it mbasko :lol: Yes i have a couple of spots i definitely reckon there's some gold lying in wait but the area is full of trash as well and i don't have the stamina or inclination (yet) to spend days removing the junk there's so much of it.

I just remembered a news report from down in Melbourne where some non lycra lovers have been spreading tacks on the side of roads to puncture bike tyres. The council had a vehicle set up to go along and pick them up via large magnets i presume? Maybe need to hire one of those for the weekend :lol:
I have one of those...
Put bigger wheels on and added an extra magnet...
Ok for gravel driveways and light stuff in the surface; but any thing in the ground will stay there...
Just wish it would pull beaver tails and pull tabs.

Use a VLF.

Thanks for that. Excellent tip.
A VLF in disc will still mask any gold under/near the iron.SunriseBoy said:
Yeah I'm more after something for the surface iron. That would be a start in some areas where its visibly strewn all over the ground.AngerManagement said:

Yeah, sorry about that, I've forgotten my efforts with my old VLF. So I stand corrected.
looks like ill have to put a rare earth magnet on my shopping list my list just gets bigger not smaller

yep - this is ideal for doing parking lots and gravel driveways - A value added service for any permissions I do.
