Fully agree Nugget When I'm gone and my family is grieving then if one of my organs stop another family grieving then that's a bonus ontop of everything else my life has ever achieved. Although a little personal for a public forum perhaps I will say that when Mrs Dec and I lost our first...

Hi Guys Like some of us I've played guitar for the last 31 year, primariliy fingerstyle the last 10 years os so. I'm not going to win any awards but I enjoy myself. My daughter is in the Australian youth Quior and both her and her brother are learning an instrument. I'm a qualified...

Well done in deed GP and wel earned also. Regards Dec

I would dearly love a CTX 3030 going into it with my eyes totally open. My first trade years ago was as a technician specialising in prototype and hand construction. So I know better than most nothing is perfect. The early runs had display problems which has all but been eliminated in the...

Cheers Slipped Disc and you're welcome for any help it gives I'll admit to a little outside experience here from the fact that until he retired a few years back my Father was a premier coin and stamp and militaria dealer in Aus with a large ebay store etc etc and I have undertaken a few high...

Hi WolfAU I'm going to cut and paste from a much older post in a minute but as a rule of thumb before I do Anything that is abrasive leaves marks that can be seen under magnification, this devalues the finds. For coppers and Brass a tumbler or a good soak in olive oil works as well as...

The rice will most certainly remove the moisture and if it were fresh water immersion I'd be giving it a go... the damage caused by salt water ingress however... You can only try. I'm starting to think we're connected o/n some wave length GoldPick, first the Explorer SE Pro and now the same...

As a non smoker, never been a smoker and never will be a smoker I think ... I think there will always be some trumped excuse why it is in the interests of the majority to infringe upon the rights of the minority. It's called "The thin edge of the wedge". People who don't want people to smoke...

The area was extensively altered during the second world war as it was a training area for 30000 troops. Mortar range, artillary range, grenade range and all the living areas. There was cinemas, tennis courts and no end of facilities and then after the war it became a forestry area constantly...

It was about 10 inches down, not edge on but not laying flat either. Regards Dec

I took the SE Pro out for a small run this afternoon Only my second time out in an area known for it's WWII history. I got a hit, it was faint and deep but totally repeatable and it sounded enouh like silver for me to persevere. My reward was a well worn but still identifiable 1872 shilling. My...

All understood on the slow swing Goldpick, I am upgrading from a Sovereign GT to the Explorer so I am used to the perculiarities of multi frequency machines. I am going out to a local ex WWII site tomorrow to give the machine a baptism of fire and I will be sticking to the factory presets for...

Thanks for the feedback Goldpick The Explorer arrived in this mornings mail and is assembled behind me with the battery on charge. I ordered it with the control box cover for a start. I am looking at some 3 piece covers in camo pattern on ebay from Ukraine for around $55 Australian delivered...

Hi Mike Full points for courage and for what it's worth I am sure you are doing the right thing. Too many people just go to the Doc, fill the perscriptions and pop the pills and of course that is the right thing to do as far as it goes for many but you still have to take the initiative to find...

Following with interest Goldpick I ordered one of the last Explorer SE Pros on Saturday and am eagerly awaiting delivery. Regards Dec
