    Origins of heavy elements

    I guess whilst it all is airy fairy stuff to us, today would not be the same, if you took just one man out of the equation, probably the greatest theoretical physicist of modern times....Einstein. A lot of our recent discoveries are only now proving up some of his theories, still more to go.

    Minelab Equinox tips and questions

    Crikey, glad you fellows weren`t around in the 70s would`ve talked a bloke into believing a detector can`t find gold, come to think of it you might`ve been, can remember a lot of such talk. Seriously I`ve been using a smartphone and before it a PDA as a GPS moving map ever since year one, very...

    Minelab Equinox tips and questions

    Good stuff, use the power of the smart phone with its future advancements, generic apps, GPS etc etc Is this the beginning of the end for proprietary MDs similar to how the smart phone is taking the market from the dedicated hand-held GPS?????

    Deus Target Separation

    Spot on Goldpick, sweet bugger all is written in concrete, one could debate what makes a particular detector the best for trash sites until the cows come home, when it comes down to the hunt, is what a particular user is using and how he`s scoring with it on a particular site that is his...

    Deus Target Separation

    Yeah, good read Goldpick, I went the other way had the Deus for a couple of years and then got a CTX this year, got this lovely "research" patch full of trash just down the road. I have sort of, I say sort of because nothing is a definite, anyway I`ve sort of found the CTX is up there with the...

    Deus Target Separation

    Yeah, I went that way until I started swinging the CTX, realised then how much I was leaving behind,(not the Deus me the operator) just at present feel you get more with the reactivity down, and compensate with slow swings as per the CTX, but one thing I`ve learnt over the years, gotta keep...

    Deus Target Separation

    When I first purchased the Deus posts like this one from RR "But the bottom line is the XP Deus is still the best Trash hunting site machine ever made". were taken just a wee seriously but now I`ve got some hours behind both the Deus and the CTX. I have found yes the Deus is very fast, yes the...

    DRONE ZONE

    Shhhhhhhhhhh Crikey Davent the NTs Vic`s much better............ Just replaced a Samsung S6 with a Cube T8 Ultimate on the phantom3, works a charm and no sign of overheating as the S6 did on occasions. Screen not as good as the S6 in sunlight but nearly.

    Deus Target Separation

    Days like that mate I think you just need to flip a coin. Tis a worry gotta find the coin first ;) Yeah, guess tis horses for courses, I use my Deus on 0 reactivity mostly. and have sort of formed the opinion that reactivity (speed) is just marketing hype, no use going faster then the brain...

    Deus Target Separation

    Heaps of hype, bugger all substance. I love my Deus, I love my CTX. Ones fast as, ones slow as (apparently???????) both score whenever, whether amongst heavy trash or not. My biggest dilemma on a coin hunting day is which one do I use................Just bloody good challenging fun and beats the...

    Minelab Equinox tips and questions

    Yeah, like you I also was hoping the Equinox would be 3030 update, but doesn`t appear it is so. One feature I enjoy with the Deus is having the RC wrist mounted, hope Minelab can go that way, maybe with the Bluetooth feature a App for the smart phone is coming that allows the Smartphone to be...

    Minelab Equinox tips and questions

    RR I`d swing an anchor to get gold I`m that greedy, but if the Deus, Xterra or the new Equinox etc etc was as good as getting gold as the Z is I`d be swinging one of them any day for twice the hours I do the Z. But now I`m repeating myself and got my needle stuck too..............

    Minelab Equinox tips and questions

    Crikey, in practicality going from the hip mounted gold VLFs monstrosities of yesterday to the Deus with the 13" coil and RC mounted on the wrist, this talk about balance and weight being from the handle forward is just that talk. The armrest near under the elbow counters that argument...

    Cubes vs Wheels vs others

    Keep it till you have a big amount and then look at cyaniding. Tis the way, then after collecting this "poverty pot" in 30 odd years you can process, spend your time now out prospecting and accumulating, just keep the crushing's.

    Coming to cycle across Australia Aussie Gold Hunters Style 60-80 oz

    Hey DTC, you don`t need all that water or a bicycle, you will find all the gold you can find within 100m of a KFC, a Macs, a pub or a water tap.
