    Minelab Eureka gold tips, settings, questions

    I love my Eureka Gold detector. It is a great detector. The downside that I've gathered by many reports is that it is an ok unit and not the best at finding gold due to the fact it can pick up mineralised ground noises with it. By my sixth session out in the field I was able to pick up the...

    Gold and bullets amongst the other stuff. But the signal for gold and bullets are always dug up.

    Found bracelet Green Lake Victoria

    I'll give it a try here. I found a bracelet at green lake off the western Highway in Victoria about three years ago. Still got it for one very good reason. With the internet you would think that I could find a lost and found site somewhere but no luck at all. Cheers

    Help

    Take advice from the forum which is very experienced and practice, practice practice. Buy some gold and burry it at different depths out in the field to learn the response from the unit. It won't be long before someone gives you the settings to use on here. Cheers

    Minelab Eureka gold tips, settings, questions

    Short and simple answer. Thanks. I've always had the thought that there are two primordial physical properties at work here. One is the stuff in the ground and the other is the frequency looking for it. You can tweek the frequency emitter ( metal detector ) but in the end you are still looking...

    Volcanic rock

    I subscribe to the volcano theory and gold detecting. Go for your life and hope it's productive. Let us know if you find a 1 ton nugget! :)

    I haven't used the discrimination mode on my Eureka Gold as I've had good success without using it. Anyone think I'll do better using it? Empty

    clunes

    If I remember correctly around ten minutes north of Clunes is a small hilly area on the right side of the road in the Dunach Forrest area. It's the Ballarat Marybough Rd (C278). If you look on the map and find Quartz Rd you will see the junction at Dunach. Head back a little way and you'll find...

    Blackwood gold detecting area map

    SC75 We used the second map link at top of this post. It clearly shows north of O'brians Rd as the recommended detecting area. O'brians Crossing is obviously outside of that area which we had a look at but didn't detect there. Is this an out dated map then?

    Blackwood gold detecting area map

    Hey everyone thanks for the help. I did reply earlier that I'd report in after the weekend but alas I don't see my reply above. Anyway we started out by the map on O'brians road about 200m in from the main road and I slowly worked my way down the gully. It's my most hated type of ground with...
