    Minelab Vanquish (340 440 540) tips and questions

    Sorry I cant post links yet but the shareholder presentation from Codan on the 3/9 posted on the ASX (not that there is much new on there) confirms it is a multi frequency coin and treasure detector no mention of gold capabilities. They have it sitting between xterra and equinox I didnt see any...

    Prospecting in State Parks:

    The plenty river isnt on the list, the prohibition is yarra river tributaries above the plenty river junction. Nothing there about the Plenty river itself. Plus just because the Plenty is within a park doesnt mean prospecting is prohibited. It depends on the type of park. The prohibition is...

    Prospecting in State Parks:

    I'm curious, where is this information from? Plenty River is not on the prohibited list. The Plenty Gorge Park is Crown land reserve and not a state park/national park or a sanctuary/conservation reserve... seems to me it would be allowed. Is it specifically listed elsewhere hidden amongst all...

    Minelab Vanquish (340 440 540) tips and questions

    It will be interesting to see if the Vanquish will sit below the EQ600/800 as in the info available from the web. I wonder if any of the retailers will run a clearance on the discontinued or soon to be discontinued models....

    Hi all, So being new to recreational prospecting I (and I'm sure from what I can see others too) have been very confused about which areas are allowed in Victoria. Clearly you need a miner's right (which I have) and there are some very clear lists describing areas of State/National Parks where...

    What's a good Gold Detector to start out with?

    Thanks for the info, the equinox models do seem good - if buying second hand is there anything particular I should look out for or be wary of?

    What's a good Gold Detector to start out with?

    Definitely sub $1000 probably more likely $600-700. I was eyeing off an x-terra 705 dual pack but Im not knowledgeable enough to pick out which kit to look at

    What's a good Gold Detector to start out with?

    Sorry if this has been covered already elsewhere but can anyone recommend a beginners metal detector for gold prospecting but also can be used for fossicking around beaches for coins etc? At the lower end cost wise so I dont get in trouble with my significant other. Plus can anyone recommend...

    Newbie from Melbourne

    Hi all, I've been thinking about taking up some prospecting as an alternative to fishing - mostly something to do to get out and about in some fresh air and nice scenery. I have purchased a miners right and look forward to throwing myself in! Now I just need to work out what to do and where to...
