Awesome finds mate-especially for someone whos only been at it a few weeks.

For settings there were only a few that I ever played with and changed, namely RX gain which I would run as high as possible before getting EMI etc generally I ran that anywhere between about 11 and 16 or so, generally higher in the cooler months and lower in summer as you seem to get a heap...

Hey mate- my sadie used to practically live on my 5000 and probably payed for its self 20 times over. Heres a few tips: - Don't be afraid to rub it on the ground. The sadie is made for getting the small stuff, and with a lot of those small faint signals you wont hear them unless your rubbing it...

Hey mate- my Sadie hardly ever comes off my 5000- absolute dynamite on the small stuff. As for depth on the bigger stuff ive pinged a couple bits around the 5 gram mark at about 8 inches or so. Also recently dug a hole in the side of a spoil pile that ended up being mid thigh depth, 25-30 inches...

Thanks mate, am happy-but who wouldnt like bigger nuggets :P

Well i havent posted in a while so thought id throw up a few recent photos, nothing real exciting unfortunately, just some small stuff. :)

Took me a few months. first bit was a 6 grammer about 10" down that give a real faint signal- i actually heard it and walked a few steps past it before i decided to go back and recheck- even then i wasnt real sure if it was a signal or ground noise but luckily decided to scrape a few inches of...

Hey mate, Buy the latest model minelab PI you can afford, so if price isnt an issue go for a GPX5000, if price is an issue work back from there-GPX 4500,4000, GP 3500, 3000, extreme, etc. Personally i started with a GP extreme which aint a bad detector but finds were few and far between- since...

Looks like you got a few nice bits there mate- definetely bigger than the stuff i normally get. :)

Yeah pretty happy gcause- of course they could have been bigger though :lol:

Thanks Willo.

Awesome finds there mate.

Nice finds there mate- i can just imagine a heap of detector holes now appearing around the 9th hole of the cue golfcourse :) Are they recent finds- or from a while ago?

Yeah agree with that mate- infact i dont think ive even taken the sadie off in months, its hard to take it off when youre almost guaranteed a couple of little bits.

Thanks guys. Yeah a bit of gold up this way Ben78, just gotta know the spots- just like everywhere else i guess.
