Hi Aries, I presume there will be an EPIRB on board of the vehicle - we will find out in time. Besides we are thinking about renting a satelite telephone, its only a couple of euros a day and could be of help in case of problems. Thank you very much for the TELSTRA-info, that is very good to...

Hi Hawkear, we thought about buying... but its only a three week trip - and selling does take time, which we wont have. So on this first trip we will rent, if we like it and find some gold, pretty sure we will come back and then we will buy and keep... Christoph

Hi Aries, yes, we are renting GPX 6000. Haven't decided on the coils yet, standard or maybe a bit bigger. Does depend on the undergrowth of the land we will be detecting, I guess. Which coil would you choose? As emergency backup we are bringing our standard vlf-machines, a minelab equinox and a...

Hi Aries, yes, good question. By now we are wondering ourselves sometimes wether that was a mistake... The main reason was that due to personal contact we already have permission to one big lease in the Pine Creek area. So we have one sure area to detect on. And having that did make the...

Hi Grustake, Thank you for the warm welcome and the links... at the moment we are gathering all sort of informations about the do's and don'ts... a lot of information to work through, but thats part of the fun. Best regards, Christoph
