I'm interested as well. Will pay a similar price, I guess that, $85/g is a fair price? Probably looking to view it/them first, I'm located in Sydney & travel a bit on occasional holidays. Just some odd bits between a few g & 20g.

Settle down guys, looks like the wait is ruffling feathers. ;-) Does the ML release in the US well before OZ or is it a similar time? Any indication that pre-orders will exceed initial supply & there will be a significant delay in non pre-orders?

"on-hand"? Are they claiming they have Equinox detectors in stock?

If you can afford the Equinox buy it AND a 2nd hand Aldi on Gumtree. i saw one for $60-70. Let the kids trash that. It will take you a while to learn the Equinox & they have something to play with while you or the older kids are busy with it.

Do you have any examples of other properties, areas etc.? Hopefully close to Sydney. ignas

Thanks for that.

Now that's worth it. Get the reliable brands. How do you use them? I haven't used it much but find it doesn't pick up the very small bits.

Thanks guys. Just got my Gold Atlas for NSW, more reading to do. :Y:

I rang Garrett recently. They won't guarantee OS purchased products. They seemed to indicate if it's a minor issue they can fix for a small price. If it's a big issue you're on your own.

Hey Andy, Did you buy a Garrett pin pointer & get to use it? I just bought one & tested it on gold specks in a vial, nothing, numerous amounts of large gold flakes also in a vial, nothing, a small gold chain, nothing. It wasn't until I folded the chain up into a small pile (about one quarter of...

Hi all, Bit of a newbie here & just getting into this hobby. Spent a couple of days in Sofala area, did some panning, swung a minelab for a while, went to the Hillend area & got a few specks there. Found plenty of tin cans & rusted junk. I seemed to be more like cleaning up the environment than...

Actually, thats reply above is to anyone heading to that area, Dusttodust, NeilM.

Hi Tallstock, I'd be interested in trips to Mudgee &/or Hill End. Let me know. Regards ignas

Great advice. Any ideas for two novices who are sharing equipment, detector, other equipment & working together to learn from each other?
