Can anyone tell me if the Fors Gold coils are compatible with the Fors Gold + please? Cheers. :/

Why did God make lead non-magnetic? So cruel!

Looking to take a trip to Creswick tomorrow. Does anyone know if the roads are affected at all by the rain over the last couple of days? I'm in a 4WD SUV, but it's not a "bush basher". I'll probably hang around Slaty Creek /Lincoln Gully areas.

I just bought a leather pair on Ebay. Quick delivery (about 4 days). Very good quality and a very good price. 45 bucks plus postage ($7.20)

Yeah. Now it makes sense - two feet together. False alarm. Thanks everyone.

Whilst out prospecting in the GT this week, I came accross a line of these footprints. Just a reminder that when we're out there swinging, we're not alone !! Any ideas what it may belong to? By the way, I'm asking about the one on the right :o

Ooh, I get all excited looking at those mullocks, spindly trees and white rocks. Gotta get out there! This weekend :P

Thanks Dig'n-it. Much appreciated.

I cleaned it up using 9% Hydrochloric acid, then toothpaste, then Nitric (which didn't seem to have a great deal of effect,) then bicarb, then Hydrochloric again, then finished it off with the ultrasonic cleaner with a drop of washing up liquid and a dash of cloudy ammonia - worked a treat.

Thanks Paul_Mac1, great feeling for sure. I just wish I'd realised straight away that it was gold - I would have got the buzz instantly. I'll know next time :) Still learning though. Cheers.

Thanks Sandta, yes, great feeling! it was about 10cm deep, right next to a fallen tree branch which obviously hadn't been moved for quite a while.

My first ever gold find. This week at Creswick using my Nokta Fors Gold. It was covered in Ironstone and I didn't realise it was a nugget until I got it home and looked at it about 20 times. Eventually convinced myself it wasn't a piece of brass. STOKED !!!! It weighs 10 grams! Still needs a bit...

Thanks John. Much appreciated

So, I went to Creswick just over a week ago with my Nokta Fors Gold. I've only been into prospecting for about 3 months and I haven't had any gold yet. Anyway, I found the usual crap (bullets, shot, wire etc.) and I also found this piece of what I thought must be lead. It had some weight to it...

Today I bought a bluetooth transmitter for my Nokta Fors Gold from Jaycar, hoping it would solve the tangled lead problem I am continually experiencing. I connected the transmitter to the headphone socket and paired it with my headphones, but when I tried it out, there is about a half second...

dave 14110, thanks for that run down on the X terra 705. I'm also in the market for my first "real" metal detector (for goldfields use) and I am leaning towards this unit. I'm also considering the Minelab Eureka Gold at $1190. We're about to get the Caravan and Camping show here in Melbourne and...

Just signed up to P.A. and very excited at the prospect (pardon the pun) of getting into fossicking and prospecting. I know very little but I'm super keen to learn as much as I can to take with me on my retirement at the end of the year. Planning to make prospecting a big part of life as a "grey...
