    Minelab SDC2300 or GPX4000 / GPX4500 / GPX5000

    For starters, I own both machines (GPX4500 and SDC2300), use both machines, find gold with both machines, and love both machines ... neither are a replacement for the other. I put both machines over the same ground if I've pulled gold out of it. I would ignore what reg wilson is saying, he...

    Anaconda Dometic cf40 fridge sale

    We've got that model, waeco cf40 in our 4wd, it's a good size, holds its temp really well, the whole lid unclips if you want it to, otherwise it hinges up on the short end which gives you options, fits a 2L milk bottle upright. 60L is far too big for what we need as a couple, if you're a heavy...

    people leaving junk behind

    It's normal in the sense that in every group of people you get some that aren't terribly smart, most of the gold I'm finding gives such a small signal it pays to clean out as many junk targets as possible. Where I've landed in the triangle the easy gold has definitely gone, but there is...

    To dig or not to dig

    Keep at it until the ground goes quiet, it sucks, but it's also the only way. P.s. I'd do anything to trade places with you and dig junk on previously undug private property

    Gold Tours and Training Days that you WOULD Recommend

    This guy buys fake reviews, look through his facebook reviews and you will come across hundreds of fake profiles giving him 5 star reviews, on sites like fiverr you can buy comments, likes and shares for social media which come from farmed accounts. For someone to do something like that in this...

    Kiwi and a Canuck travelling Oz

    Cheers Bob! Enjoy your last few days in Hillend and safe travels and good luck out west. We'll be in Newcastle shortly by the looks of things as I've just had a job offer come through, but on the upside it gives us both a chance to charge up the bank accounts and buy the things that we've been...

    Yep! That's exactly what that is, surprised it's still in one piece after probably being driven over!!! they really did build things tough back then!

    Kiwi and a Canuck travelling Oz

    Not subtle at all!!! It'll happen, we got 8 pieces at 0.7grams total today, smallest being 0.04 grams, I like to remind all that those pieces are closer to weighing NOTHING than weighing even point one of a gram!!! It was fun digging so many targets and cheers Shauno for sharing some knowledge...

    Heading out to durikai this weekend

    Glendons is a great place to camp and you'll get access to fossick their property that way, 'the carpark' gets a thrashing but I managed to find just over a gram from four pieces. Good luck out there.

    SDC2300 aftermarket coil information and questions

    Looks like it's still under development with a 3rd generation prototype of similar specs being trialled, GPZ-style center mount and now a fully flat top coil. You can also see how the prototype coil attaches in this photo, you should be able to convert to this elliptical coil while still...
