Maybe, though I feel I'm doing fine with the CTX. By the time the Equinox comes out my goldie container will be full again and I might just buy one. Plus the CTX has already found 4 gold rings for me this year, not sure if I'll ever need another detector.

agreed, maybe when detectors become like lidar.

Ahhhh, I would not cash them in to BANK! Now TAX people see it as income????
But That is pretty decent amount! Can buy new toys! :Y: :Y: :Y:

Just piggy bank money :Y:

Mate if they want to tax me they can send me a tax return on my equipment, fuel, entertaining (beer), office and anything else I can claim. You can earn non taxable income from hobbies that is below a certain amount each year.

I took $500 in the other day and the teller asked if I wanted cash and questioned it as I thought you had to deposit but she told me $500 and under can be cash and does not need to be deposited. Don't know whether she was full of s#@t but took the cash anyway.

Don't worry Heatho it's not classed as income , it's a hobby , you have to pass many tests to be classed as a legitimate business or income earner which I don't care to explain because it would bore me to tears and everyone else . If you were advertising a service to find a lost ring for a fee that would be different - agh bugger just bored myself Sh....t..less (tax man Dan at your service)

That's like bringing work home Dan (when you take it to playtime) :lol:

If the tax man comes looking I'll just say bugger off, Dan said it's ok.

Sweet cash in Heatho :rainbow: arty: I was hoping some of that elusive water would have fallen from above while I was gone :/
But doesn't look like it did
Launched my new satellite into orbit the other day so we'll have to go for a look around soon :Y:
Bit worried the rocks will be a snake and spider pit though

No worries Heatho will be happy to help out

Hit the old HH again today, still quite a few pre dec coming out from there, highlights were 2 florries and a sixy. All the moderns are from the past 3 hunts.

Honey hole should be renamed the gold mine, never ceases to amaze me on the number of coins that have come out of that place. :Y:

its helped Heatho eat, and buy new gear

I'm waiting to hear about the renovation including a Pool Room.

Great while it lasts. HH must be close to dry. But then again Rocket hasn't waved his magic stick over it , he can find silver in a bucket of mud. LOL Cheers

Cheers fellas. Yeah it has slowed right down there, but you know how it is, attack from a different angle or use a different coil, dry or wet, different swing speed, so many variables, change a variable and more good targets appear.

Rocket and RJ have both had a swing there and both got some nice stuff. Rocket actually got a 10 penny coin spill there. I actually picked one of the trashiest spots there for their Deus detectors. No one gets it all though, Ive been over the same spot again and found more pre dec plus the gold ring I scored a few weeks back in amongst the trash plus a heap of goldies. I think rocket got a couple of rings that day as well though it was just bad luck that the were junkers, RJ got a sterling thimble though, both got plenty of goldies.

I reckon to be honest a big large spot like this HH is never really flogged out, you just need to change tactics.

Will be swinging there on the weekend again with another member from here "LostNowFound" who I met down at Manly one day. Will be interesting to see what we can bag.
