    Snakes and permissions for old paddocks

    Hey guys, I'm not too fussed overall about snakes. I'm comfortable with them in general but I'd just like to not be a statistic as I start wandering deeper out of town for spots. I've done a ton of parks lately and I've spotted some tree lines and would like to do something different. How do...

    Gold Sovereigns And The Equinox

    Hey guys, so what I understand is gold sovs will be either 15 or 18 on the equinox. How accurate is that though, I get alot of 17-18s. I've found a spot where I'm popping up quite a few pre dec coins and I want to go check for sovs. I'm here in Australia for another 9 months and am trying...

    Most Powerful Metal Detector?

    Hey guys, I'm sure this question gets beat to death but I'm curious what people's thoughts are on the most powerful gold field detector. Is it the gpz 7000? Is it worth the money if you're taking it seriously and are going to dedicate some months to prospecting? What do the pros use?

    Anyone have any experience with throwing a dif lock on a Sprinter?

    I'm planning on buying a Sprinter with either some high mileage and swapping the transmission proactively if it is around 500k or a lower milage vehicle depending on what is available. From there I want to put a dif lock and some all terrains on it. From what I heard this will be able to handle...

    Hey guys, Nice forum you got here. I'll be moving to Melbourne at the end of January, then traveling around Australia for the rest of the year. I metal detect quite a bit, never really prospected much besides some panning in California. I'm American but have lived in Dubai for over 20 years. I...
