Limpalot, arrived back from wa, found some gold, good learning curve. Doing some research on carbon fibre shafts try detectoraids.com, upper shaft various lengths $100. [email protected], complete set $149. All USA listed. Hope this will help you, Ray and Lips.

I am using a 14inch coiltek mono anti-interference at the moment which seems to be working ok. Found a .3 gram with it. Just need another 70 to cover costs. Lovely day near Leonora 21 deg at the moment with a bit of a breeze. Will do a bit more exploring shortly. The body is starting to work in...

Hey limpalot I did see on eBay last week an American did have carbon fibre shafts, they came in a bundle of 4 for around $140 delivered

Hello everyone sitting by the fire a few k from leonora trying to find the gold with no luck yet. My knee problem maybe solved. I am using a guide arm / swing stick. It keeps the coil well out in front of me with the added benefit of keeping the coil flat at all times on my swings. I am using...

Thanks Shauno,as soon as I get these games over with and get the buses back to Vic,I will be getting the van and car ready and leave mid May for WA. Thats the only time I will get to practice my new swing. Seems to be the only way to overcome the problem. An sdc2300 was not affected by the knee...

Heads up, their soon will be a cure without doing replacement so I have read. How far away from initial testing I dont know,hope it is soon for you. In the mean time just grin and bare it.

I am staying inn Southport and being a naive country boy , I decided to go for a walk after dark, big mistake. Confronted by a group of teenagers who wanted my money I had to throw a couple of punches. I kept my money but am called sugar Ray now. Lesson leant. Away from home for a month but...

Ray and Lips update on Commonwealth games. Been working for three weeks up here have met lots of athletes. I am driving them to their events. Four more days to go including the closing ceremony then head back to the big V on Monday. Long hours starting to catch up on me, thank god for whiskey

Hello weedyau,I would just buy a detector and work out the best way to use it. I did have a sdc2300 and it did not seem to be bothered by my knee issues. Maybe go and hire different detectors first and see which suits. I will send a post on how everything went when I come back from WA in August...

Thanks for your interest flowerpot,I have been doing research on faraday cage. Can buy online for $40 for 30cm sounds interesting. At the moment have not had any time to go out with detector. Going to qld Wednesday for a month to work at commonwealth games, no rest for the oldies prepared to...

After weighing all arguments I seem to be leaning towards big waves idea of learning to live with it and modifying the way I detect. The interference when its near my left leg I should be able to identify with its regularity. I will have to keep ground balance in fixed because in tracking it...

Thanks bw and mt. Have contacted minelab who inform me they dont make extension shafts and say I have to make my own. I will persevere with my purterbance.

Thanks flowerpot, all coming together in may. 3months in wa then back to work for 3 months then full time retirement at end of year. Looking at a product called conductive textile tape to put inside a kneepad. This story of Lips will be told when I have a few whiskeys in me and the boss lets me...

Thanks Aussie Chris emi shield tape sounds good. Could possibly tape over a knee pad. Reckon its worth a try. To everyone, thank you for your input. Regards Ray & Lips
