I am not sure whether this has changed since you last visited Mount Larcom but I have uploaded a Google Earth screenshot with a marker where the car park and the start of the walking track is. The car park is on the East side of Mount Larcom. A small gravel...

    Minelab SDC2300 information and questions

    Hi LC76. I know what you mean about the socket. In my opinion the socket does not allow for optimal securing the headphones compared to other detectors. On my Infinium LS I need to screw the headphones on and they wont come off...on the SDC2300 its a different story I find.

    Minelab SDC2300 information and questions

    Hi Alex G. I have to partially agree with you about the power line issue. I had stood about 50 metres away and the SDC 2300 went off like crazy.

    Prospecting (Gladstone Area)

    Hey Oldfella. Thanks for your reply. I will have a look into the Norton Goldfield and see who is in charge of the operation out there and attempt to get permission. In relation to Rockhampton I already did some research into this and found an old map where Gold Diggings are marked just north...

    Prospecting (Gladstone Area)

    Howdy, I just joined the forum and was wondering whether anyone has knowledge about the Gladstone region (Queensland) in relation to alluvial gold? I just moved here and have a SDC2300 and an Infinium LS that I use for detecting and use 4WD for transport. I already did some exploring in the...
