    MINELAB V WHITES - JUST MY HUMBLE NOOB EXPERIENCE

    LC76...you give me hope...lol The standard coils on the SPP are dogs...you wouldnt even catch a cold with one. I got my 1st 1.2g nugget when I put a sadie on her. Definitely invest in better coils on your whites detectors!!!!

    MINELAB V WHITES - JUST MY HUMBLE NOOB EXPERIENCE

    I dont know about you but for ages Ive drooled over the thought of owning a minelab sdc2300 or GPX5000. Sure they're expensive, but from what I've been told they are the best of the best. Especially for Australian conditions. Even I could find gold with one???? Soooo....i decided to hire an...

    Anyone finding gold????

    I think I'm cleaning up the goldfields of junk so the minelab guys can come in and get the gold. What coil will work best with the SPP?

    SPP HICCUP FIXED

    Dean upgraded my SPP motherboard today. I'm really happy with the service from goldsearch. Nothing was too much trouble and I walked out with some great advice. I took the SPP for a swing when I got home. It definitely feels different. I'm using the standard 12" coil. The SPP is rock steady and...

    WHITES GMT Goldmaster information and questions

    My old GMT was giving me a little trouble with bad ground balance. In desperation I called goldsearch for advice. Dean suggested checking the connections and giving the motherboard a clean. Sometimes dirt gets in and causes a bad ground balance alert. He even offered a loaner coil to test it. I...

    I am a believer! Last weekend I went out with my 6x4. I've always been a bit reluctant due to it's size but I thought I'd give it a go. Wow...I literally walked across the road and found an old chinese coin. It must have fallen out of an old timer as he sat beside a tree. Then after finding...

    Mate the GMT is a dream on the beach. I used the standard DD coil on it. Didn't go near the water, but stayed higher up the beach where people drop the coin. I couldn't believe it when I found the ring. Finally I found gold. Well not a nugget...but it was gold!!!! Plus the GMT is paying...

    G0lddigg@ I can't tell you how much I appreciate the tip. I feel the GMT is an awesome machine...I just need to get it over the top of gold. Then I can prove to the ball and chain that I'm not crazy. I feel like going down the gold shop and buying a small nugget and tell her that I found it to...

    Thanks for the tip!!!! I found a spot that had recently been burnt out and I thought it might hold some virgin ground. But with all the trash it was just too frustrating. Some poor buggar had dug up this massive "T" shaped piece of iron and left it under a tree. My heart went out to him...

    Went out to the white swan near ballarat today. I bought the gold atlas of Victoria which indicated that 2 large nuggets where found near there. Unfortunately it's fenced off and was unable to get near to where the nuggets where found. Also the atlas didn't give me an idea of the depth they...

    I've been out with my GMT about 5 or 6 times now. I've found everything but Gold. After reading this forum I tweaked my setting so I'm really confident if I'm over gold I'll get. Thanks for the tips guys!!!!
