Hi Lucky Streak. Mate they were all good detectors in their day. I have a GP Extreme in my arsenal of beepers which is an awesome detector. I think at the end of the day it is what you feel comfortable with, they become old friends and some just feel right when you fire them up and start...

I don't know what an m20 falcon is Dug (I will look it up). I am pretty sure you cant roast this type of sulphide to release any gold. Maybe take some samples for analysis, get them to run the full suite which isn't that expensive. I don't want to tell you how to suck eggs but when you do the...

Hi Dug, mate use a little Nitric acid to tell you if it is Au or Cu. Matt

I tape some of my coils and not others. The solid coils are the ones I tend to tape. I use the smooth sided Duct Tape. I used to smear some silastic around the inside of the coil covers as well. I don't know if it did any good but it didn't do any harm. Matt

Hi Markaw, I am fairly new here as well, they seem like a good crew on here. Remember the harder you work the luckier you get. Welcome. Matt

Joffrey if you look under my Avatar (the Pirate) you will see Email. That is my email address. Just email me the details there. Next to it is Message. That is how you do private messages. Cheers, Matt

Joffrey you will have to private message me if you can. Sorry about the laps of protocol Highbanker. AusFX the XP Deus that we get here have a goldfields mode which deals with quite high mineralization. I am not sure if the European ones have it. Matt

No worries, would you like me to drive it for you Doctor :-). I just have to let everyone know, when you decide to push a patch it isn't a given that you are going to get gold. PI detectors have cleared a lot of patches out of payable gold. If you only have 50cms of dirt forget it. The ones that...

No worries mate, leave it with me and I will give him a call on Monday. Matt

Joffrey hi mate, I don't know where Granville is here, it may be a new suburb who knows. If your cousin wants a spot to go where he is in with a chance I am happy to point him in the right direction. If you get him to email me I will give him the coordinates. He should be ok with the Deus there...

Good on ya Gold target. I am going to see a pic of a nugget you find on here soon I can just tell. Just keep having fun and they will turn up. Also Gold digger girls, I love your YouTube vids. They are really cool. Matt

Joffrey, hi friend of Australia. Where is Granville near Perth? I may be able to help your cousin. Matt

Hi Daza, no mate I haven't used the ATX around Roebourne. But I have done a fair bit of beeping around there in the past. I have got gold from the Weiranna ? I am not sure of the spelling but the one just before the railway on the way south from town. And a long way up on the tidal flats north...

Hey AusFX, that was fun finding the patch where that bit was sitting on the top of the ground. There was an ounce and a half bit about a foot away from it but that one was buried. You are right it is the XP Deus that we run the courses for. I am starting to love treasure hunting, well treasure...

Hi Ridge Runner, Happy New Year mate and to everyone else that belongs to this site Happy New Year to you all. Ridge Runner thanks for the insight and I hope your year is full of golden surprises. I think most of you are enjoying my stories and I have done two more. I have done one called the...

Hi everyone, life is too short for he said, she said. I am still happy to tell a few stories on here for anyone that is interested. I am off to have my dinner, Cheers, M@

I hope you all get some enjoyment from my posts, and who doesn't like looking at gold pix. I have been lucky over the years finding some really nice gold. I need to tell you all that I starved twice, which was a pain. Prospecting isn't the easy road to riches, but it sure is fun. Before I go now...

Grubstake you are exactly right, the SG for pure quartz is 2.72. The 3.1 SG for quartz that is used allows for a small amount of impurities in the stone. You could also say because of the impurities in the gold it doesn't have an SG of 19. Again, this is right, but this formula seems to work...

I haven't bought it yet but if I was going to buy something interesting today it would be a basket case 1964 Triumph thunderbird. let me know if anyone can legitimize my post in this section. M@

Good morning to everyone from sunny W.A. This morning I want to post something that you may find useful next time you find that nice quartz specimen. This is the formula for working out how much gold is in Quartz. This is the working every day formula we use remembering it only works with...
