Just bought a new house, thats new for me, the house is at least pre 1911, but i've not had much luck in finding out how old it is. So either way, since i'm getting the place restumped, i thought I'd look around under neither the bit that is probably the oldest bit. And i found the these...

Hi Guys, How far do you reckon your pin pointer can pick up a 5 cent coin from? I'd reckon my chinese cheapy can do it from about an inch. How do the more expensive ones fair? The other thing is the directionality of the field. I reckon mines around half an inch horizontal, probably less. So...

This trip, the brother in Law and I went out to Dolly's creek and Mt Doran(both next to Elaine VIC). Dolly's creek was cool, but didn't find a thing, except for 3 old screws in the creek wash. You can see how they could find sapphires down there, but we were keen to try out our spot in Mt Doran...
