Hey Hardluck, 2 years ago I dug an even deeper hole in Inglewood, adrenaline kicked in at the 300mm mark,didn't need any zinc ! Anyway someone had driven a star picket down about 600mm for some reason .At the 450mm mark I was thinking red or black for the Merc.

Thought I would finish this post with my purchase,finally ! After much deliberation I purchased a Stihl MS170 $249.00 brand new .(check them out great value) I trialled the Makita 36v and the AEG 18v both cut some fairly serious pieces of wood, black wattle ,dead for 5 years ,approx 6-8" in...

I'm planning a trip up soon,sounds good. Thanks for the tip Reynard. Cheers Crushed

What is the difference between the electric chainsaw and an electric circular saw.Don't they both use a battery pack ?

VGH,keep asking questions but you do need to get out there and try and work it out for yourself . These guys have done the hard yards and I have found more than happy to pass on their experience . Head down,bum up and don't be scared to make a mistake ! Cheers Crushed

Hi, wife and I have just returned from 6 week caravanning trip around SW Western Australia . I noticed what appeared to be alluvial diggings beside the road on the outskirts of Norseman . Was I looking at road work or in fact diggings ? I Was unaware of alluvial workings around Norseman. Should...

Hi, I run my 4500 in auto tracking but when reading various articles have noticed most operators are running in fixed . Question is why do you prefer to run in fixed ? Cheers Crushed

it saddens me to see the "brotherhood" turn on it self. I have learnt so much from the questions and answeres each and everyone has supplied or given in this forum . I,m not sure why we needed to go down the track of insinuating welfare rorts. Cheers Crushed

Thanks for the feed back,evo is the go !Apart from the weight why are you all so keen on the evo.Someone did some testing (I can't remember who) and he had the evo 12" and the 14" elite neck and neck . I have noticed Westoz is using an eleven inch coiltech coil in some of his vids(love that...

Hi all,looking at a new coil.I,m tossing up between a 14" coiltech elite and an evo 12. I!m a GT prospector with maybe a trip out to WA later on this year.I have a 8x6 Sadie and the two coils (DD and the mono)as supplied with my 4500. I,m leaning towards the evo but thinking Minelab gold does...

Hi Mediocritist,don't tell anyone I told you this but,your long handled teaspoon is a "parfait" ,pronounced parfay , spoon.I,m embarrassed I know this but somethings stick in your head . Cheers Crushed

Thanks Peter, I see no point mucking around on a half second delay . What is the recommended unit,I have no idea.If I,m going to use headphones I need to make sure I,m gaining an advantage over the external speakers. Cheers crushed

Hi mbasko,thanks for that .Where would I buy the Bluetooth transmitter and how does it pair with my 4500 ? Also how do I know it will pair with my 4500 and the wireless headphones ? (No faith in the younger brigade at the hi fi outlets they look at my grey hair and tune out !) Cheers crushed

Hi all,this is an interesting topic. I,m not stupid but I,m no tech head . I plug the headphone jack into the battery on my mine lab 4500 and hey presto sound.How does a set of wireless headphones "connect" to my 4500 ? Currently the Good Guys have a set of T450 Bluetooth on ear headphones for...
