Hi All, With regret I have to sell all of my MXT detecting gear after popping my back a few months ago. Have only used the gear about 5 times in about 2 years so my wife is a little angry with me:( Fantastic setup for new person wanting to get into prospecting. All gear excellent condition...

http://www.ausbuttonhistory.com/?page_id=196 Would have been made around 1900, by Charles Anderson and Co. Ltd , Sydney, for the military. The face looks rusty- tried soaking in olive oil for a few days but could get the brown stuff off. Back of it looks brass. Anyone know how to clean this...

Found a whole bunch of clad and this 1900? military button under a clothesline. Stoked given its only my second hunt.

Out for a few hours - found large metallic chain, thin slice of aluminium, a lump of something odd looking and a hot rock. Realised half way through the hunt that I have disc set to zero - sheeat

Love the idea of a pack mule. Thanks chaps, all good, interested in everyones opinions - Im sure Ill be alot the wiser after my first mini expedition.

Yea thats why Im asking the question, its alot of gear to carry around. Once Im familiar with the ground Im can probably ditch one of the digging tools and one of the coils at least...

LOL - super size nappy

Not sure if taking a dump in a park will be such a good idea lol. Will have to be bold and hold

Its only a day trip praise the Lord

Hahaha yeah that would be frustrating

What about the belt interference thingy?

AH forgot to ask, is wearning a normal belt with a metal buckle likely to cause interference? Hasnt been an issue so far but there will be so much shit on my belt its gonna have to be sturdy

hahahaha, thanks J - Im looking forward to digging up 100 pull tabs, 2 anvils and a holey dollar

Forgot soft kneepads as well
