New CTX 3030 arrived yesterday along with a detenix digger and Pro Find 25 so figured I'd have a bit of a hunt around the caravan park today to try it out. Scored 7c... a 1977 2c and a 2011 5c... lots of ringpulls, brass eyelets, bottle tops, a dog lead catch and a pop rivet. All this in a 3m2...

Yep, I've got a pair of Oliver AT's non metallic with zip sides. Best boots I've ever owned.

Yep, giving up the smokes 6 years ago was not only great for my health but has also been great for my family life and detecting hobby. I used to smoke Winfield blue which are currently $26 a packet. 365 days x $26 = $9490..... so give up and in the first year you can afford a GPZ 7000. 154...

Love seeing other peoples set ups... I keep it pretty simple for over nighters and weekends, especially if on my own. Engel in the back of the car, Oztent with selfinflating mattress and king size sleeping bag.

Evening SinHof, I have dual batteries in both my Cruisers. I have set up my old 80 series for prospecting, rear drawers for detecting equipment and recovery gear, buckets up top have panning and dive gear in them. Have 12v USB, cig socket and plug for detector charger on left side and pump for...

I had two 12v charge cords included with my GPZ, one is a heavier duty cord with aligator clips for charging from the car battery. I modified mine by fitting Britax automotive plugs which are also fitted to my Engel fridge and in the rear of my cars. I've never used the flimsy other 12v cable...

Yes you can. I have one that has a heap of attachment plugs for all kinds of devices including most popular phones, a USB socket, 12v socket and cig plug socket and a 19v socket for laptops. I have charged my iPhone, iPad, laptop and detector batteries with it. We often use it to power our 12v...

$29 for a Dymo labelling machine from Big W and $15 for a cartridge of plastic tape. Label all your chargers and cords, also handy for labelling any 12v wiring in your car and camper.

I have Merit plugs in our caravan and the cars, I cut the alligator plugs off the heavier wired lead and fitted a merit plug to it... never had a problem with charging or a blinking light. I fitted the cable with two pin automotive connectors so I can change between the merit plug or alligator...

Well I picked up the Gpz last Sat. Went for the bag and control box cover rather than the Go find 60. Headed to Ophir, camped overnight and then gave the Zed a run. Must have been doing something right as I was getting quite a few boot tacks and some shot. After about 4 hrs I dug up a .15g...

Picking up my new Gpz tomorrow from Central west prospecting supply's. $9499 is pretty good and even comes with a free Go Find 60 for my 11yr old daughter to relic hunt with. How much different is the Gpz to use compared to the SDC?

Yeah a lot of people believe that but it is only cheap crap plastic that splits and cracks. Some new cars now have plastic panels, most fuel tanks are plastic, plastic jerry cans etc etc. quality plastic can be tougher than steel, uv stabilised and won't dent or rust. Plastic or steel case they...

Well I just bought an Engel Eclipse today for $799 including insulated cover from BCF. Plastic housing doesn't bother me tough and durable and won't dent like steel. The 73 litre Autofridge is just a little big for weekends away, the 40 litre Engel is much lighter and easier to throw in the back...

Throw away the speed weld nozzle, only good for welding vinyl flooring. Use the plastic filler rod and welder as you would if oxy welding.... Hot air just behind filler rod and as it melts push it down into the joint and away from the welder. Takes a bit of practice to get a good weld but easy...

Bought a 40 litre Engel fridge and an RV5 Oztent today from BCF Orange one our way back from a day trip to Ophir.

We have some in the fridge at all times, best tasting creamiest yogurt I've ever had.

Pfftt, imitations that are nothing like the real thing. I had a few Sandman vans back in the day and still have one.... This is a genuine HJ Sandman panelvan, factory 308, M21 gearbox, factory aircond and LSD. Currently restoring her.

I'm heading to Ophir tomorrow to give it its maiden run, would be nice to find a nug or two but happy to just have a swing in the fresh air and get used to my new machine. If there is anyone wanting a case for their SDC there is still one left on eBay... I actually bought another one for maps...

I wear Police tactical overalls that have padded knee inserts that have foam similar to yoga mat material. They also have lots of pockets for spare batteries, scoop, small pick/torch holder etc. Also picked up a waterproof/dustproof case that neatly fits my SDC, headphones and plenty of spare...

I have a 73 litre Autofridge and have had it for 17 years trouble free. Very efficient on 12v, is eutectic and for a weekend we turn it on during the week to freeze the walls then throw it in the back of the cruiser and don't even plug it in. Engels are a great fridge and we are considering...
