    If You Had To Buy A New Detector Today, Which One?

    I have a 4500 with a 15 evo and I have found gold. But I know from trials with 2300, 5000 and 7000 with undug gold targets in the ground the others got signals I didnt. If you have a 7000 do you really need a 2300 as well? Why?

    Time of day- is it important for detecting?

    I was recently told morning is best, then evening, and worst is middle of the day. Basically the more sun on the ground the worse. So having shadow improves things. Any comments/experience?

    Minelab GPX4500 tips, settings, questions

    Great post thanks. Im struggling to find anything but bullets and shot. I wonder if a new coil will help, or just confuse. Im just running the standard Command it came with. Thinking of a 14.

    What Vic National Parks Ass (VNPA) think of us

    Have you had a look at the Bush Users Group on Facebook or Google? They holding rallies, lodging submissions and hopefully will have an effect in Victoria. Other states ... ???

    Which Side Will Gold Shed?

    As a newbie is seems we have to search widely, and especially where few have been before using what I have. Luckily I love walking around the bush.

    Which Side Will Gold Shed?

    Mostly around Whipstick at this stage. I figure better to learn 1 area really well. Joined bpc and found them great. I got the 4500 as people "said" with the new coils you can match a 2300 but have more options.

    Avenza - Doug Stone Gold Maps & Parks Vic Prospecting Maps

    Has anyone bought the Avenza version of Doug Stones' Gold Atlas? Converting US$ to A$ they seem about the same price as paper. I bought a single map, was interesting to use but locations were offset by about 50m. Anyone else find this?

    Which Side Will Gold Shed?

    While this post is a bit old now- is there any better information? I just seem able to find shot and bullets, but not gold. :(
