Spent about 2 hours on the beach yesterday with the Xterra. There was much more trash but I had thrown it in the bin. found this though. 9K St Christopher Charm. Real good nick not that you can tell from my crap photography. may go there again today for a bit. Or maybe Jupiter Creek with...

Went to Laanecoorie last week and spent some time in an area that I would say was fair flogged out. Still managed to find 2 very small pieces. 0.041g has me more then impressed and I'm still trying to learn how to use it.

Are there any good sites that I can get an approximate value of pre-decimal coins? Not that I have a lot or that I will sell them but it is more for interest sake then anything. Cheers, Cliff

Spent the afternoon at Jupiter Creek swinging the 705. No gold or pre-decimals but I did have my youngest son with me. So a great afternoon out (apart from the weather) The 705 hardly stopped singing. Hot rock after hot rock and the ground is variable to say the least. But I don't think I have...

Bit rough out there yesterday. but I had a go anyway. The gold looking thing is interesting. Doubt it's gold. Wonder if someone dropped a ring in a fire and this is how it ended up? gave a 30 - 32 on the X-Terra. Any thoughts?

I have been at a training course in Adelaide for the last three days and after finishing this afternoon I thought I would drop into Jupiter Creek area for a bit of a swing. I never expect a lot from the X-Terra 705 when it comes to gold. I decided to go off the track for a look only to find...

I'm heading down to Tassie for a few days to visit my wife's and my folks. While I'm there I thought I may as well throw in a couple of sieves and look for some Sapphires or other gems. Would anyone be able to give me a gentle push in the right direction. Would appreciate some advice. I will be...

I went to the beach yesterday for a bit of a look about. I was detecting for about half a hour and had found a few coin and then walked up the beach a bit further starting at a new location I ground balanced my detector and picked up a sound. So I moved a couple of feet away, finished balancing...

Hi, I have been in the Processing side of the mining industry since 1984. I have done a little prospecting with some small success for a lot more years. No big success obviously as I still work in a regular job to pay the bills. I have just purchased my first metal detector to invest in my early...
