Hi everyone, A while back I swear I saw someone selling a highbanker and pump kits for around $500. So I'm looking for a highbanker and pump kit for around that price, I can stretch a little more if I have to. Ideally I'm after it this week, happy to pickup within an hours drive of Ballarat or...

Hey everyone, I'm upgrading my 705 to an Etrac, and looking for a reasonably priced second hand one. Ideally still with warranty, but as long as its working and in good condition. Let me know what you've got!

First picture is the very first pan I did on a creek running through private property I've been detecting. Second picture is after 3 more pans of only a couple scoops each. I think I've got me a good spot ;)

Made it back out to the private property today. No luck on the nuggets, I spent more time scouting and looking at the different gulleys and digging test holes looking for the gravel I like to see. It seems to be unlike any ground I'm familiar with, heaps and heaps of gravel on the top near the...

That's what happened last time I was in London for work, it was horrible! haha It probably already has a name, but I'll think of something more catchy :P

Proper update time! I'm still to find anything like phase tech's bit... That is gorgeous by the way. But I've been having some more luck! Dads two bits we found while on a tour with Darren from gold and relics, vs my one bit. Dad was using the SDC, I was using the GPZ. I was rather impressed...

So it's been a while since an update, heres a quick one: Found a few more bits of small gold with the GPZ, I've totaled just over 2 grams all up. Dad comes out and in one day finds a 1.45 gram nugget with an SDC plus one smaller bit. I'll post some pictures later. Needless to say I'm a bit...

I thought I tried extra deep, although that may have been before I turned down the sensitivity. I'll give it a shot next time I'm at the beach. toecutta- Only found one, new record! I've found much better than change and junk at coogee ;)

So I was heading up to sydney for a friends Bday and thought I would bring the GPZ along to see how it would handle my old stomping ground of Coogee Beach. MrCornford and myself only had about 50 minutes on the beach, only found some small change and a lot of trash. Since I didn't have much...

Also managed to get a nice clod shot of one today:

It had been at least 3 weeks since my last nugget, I was starting to have doubts, ever closer to throwing it all in and trekking back to the concrete jungle just to make a buck. Funny how your luck seems to turn. 4 little babies from a surfaced area where I found my first ever little picker...

10 days since my last nugget... the days are growing shorter, and yet I'm still consumed by what they call the fever... Dramatic effect aside, no gold for 10 days now, I haven't been getting out every day, and when I do it's not normally the entire day. I've been spending most of my time near...

Cheers everyone. Hopefully this has broken the GPZ in and the nuggets will start flowing in ;) Bacchus - Only if you join the dark side.

Wintersnake - Nope, white. But it's slowly turning a lovely dust colour. Ronk- I'm always up for a catch up with people from here, shoot me a PM! Thedigger- I'll go and check it out! Thanks mate.

Oh boy do I have an update! But first of all, big thanks to Fortune Seeker for showing me a spot with some nice bits of small gold near Creswick. I didn't have much luck on the gold but he was kind enough to give me some tips on using the GPZ as well as general prospecting know how which is...

Come to London for Electric Beach. Small festival on the beach. rock out to Cat Empire during the day, find stuff at night :P Who am I kidding I'll still be too drunk for night hunting...

Are you in Vic mate?

Done! Absolute legend mate!

Yeah lets not have any GPZ bashing here, there are plenty of other threads for that. Besides, it finds buckshot just as well as the GPX so I know it works ;) I had a bit of an explore around the pine plantations west of Creswick, the ground was much easier to dig than Talbot and not as...

Lunch time update, No luck near my spot in Talbot, tried messing around a bit more with the detector, home for lunch and then I'm going to do some exploring near Creswick.
