Speaking of magnetic fields ! About 3 months ago I had a pacemaker, defibrillator all wifi controlled wired into me. the cardio gave me a list of what I couldn't do ie no arc welding over 100 amps etc. This troubled me as I have GPX 5000 with some big coils and a SDC so I contacted Minelab and...

Struth Tony ! you put your missus shirt on by mistake when you got out of bed , or is that the new man pink look ? 😁😎

He has a Nice rig !

My first trip to WA was for 1 week...no gold, didn't have a clue what I was doing lol, If your a first timer to WA and for short time best bet is to stick to the blue, pending leases and a good way to find them is get an app on phone or I pad so you can see the pending leases ( blue) and the GPS...

Hi Peter, Its a difficult decision to make but if your a team with the wife ( me too) you made the right decision, at your age its a bit risky being in the WA outback by yourself. Better to die near family. I'm going through the same process now with chronic heart failure, had a defibrillator...

My favourite coil, ps looks like a stealth fighter 😎

It makes for a good mystery, I stayed at the Sandstone caravan park for a while once and sitting around the campfire with some locals it was the favourite topic, heard some interesting theories. Yeh that Milne guy would be sweating, always looks suss when someone does something out of the...

Thats what I'm talking about🧽. well done boys.

My Engel 40 litre in middle WA, in back of my cruiser: if using as freezer -4 deg, if using as fridge +4 deg, never flattened my battery yet even after a few days no driving.

There are a lot of people in Laverton who don't wear shoes

Hi Davo, Re the missing gold in discriminate Ive heard that comment a fair bit and it made me curious so I have spent a lot of time , I mean a lot lot of time experimenting with it in junk areas in GT and WA and SA, digging to check and over hundreds of targets it was 100 % accurate ferrous or...

It will be an interesting exercise for all. I went to an EV seminar last week where they had an international motoring Journo discussing EV cars and he bought a couple along to crawl over. He was a neutral presenter not favouring either way but he raised some amazing issues with EV that the...

I too have had the pleasure of Minlabs generosity, my 5000 was years out of warranty and a switch failed so I rang ML service manager and had a chat to see where I could buy one when he said he would have a look around the workshop, presto one arrived in the mail. I sent an email to his boss...

Some good advice there boys. My only comment is to reenforce Daves point SLOW DOWN, Slow down , then when your thinking you've slowed down, SLOW DOWN. I guarantee that newbies walk over a lot of small gold , and experienced ol buzzards like us walk over gold when we get impatient.

Thanks for the tip Peter, I might get one to try, I'm sick of sweating like a dog with my broad brimmed hat folded over as well. I guess there would be days when the wind or wind in the trees would make my headphones more desirable but it would be nice to have them on a good day so I can hear...
