Redfin you're spot on as to your comment regarding the stabiliser being set 2 behind the gain. Stabiliser is the last function to set your detector up in ground you are operating in. I used to take mine up to 20, listen to the continual breaches in threshold and without looking at the LCD...

To me def the 5k. Actually the 4500 is in the 5k as to all the functions available but the 5 has two more soil timings, one of which is fine gold and is slightly more powerful then enhance which would be used majority of the times on the 45. Well at least here in the west. The 5 also has a gain...

G'day Nenad I will endeavour to try the detech coil at some point this year vs zed and other coils on the 5k At this point it was a one off test on a target and does require more testing, hopefully it was an anomaly but I will know more when I can try it out more thoroughly. Was just bit...

Gday got a couple things here and will keep it as short as possible. Firstly I tracked out a nugget whilst doing some tests with gpz vs SDC vs gpx 5k. For the 5 I used the 14 elite and old 14 in Coiltek mono. I have tested this all out before last year and my results showed me the zed was...

Or help with the 7 too try hard.

Gday mate yeah bit of a surprise with the vehicle playing up but gotta be the last of the probs I hope. Mate you been over here before? You pretty competent on the 45? If you need any help with running 45 let us know and will help you out.

Personally I don't bother using the ferrite. I just use the walk and quick trak method. Always have.

You wanna know what its like trying to earn a living outta it? Its a prick. When things go wrong its enough to have you on the brink. This particular season has so far been disastrous for me so far. 3 serious vehicle break downs in a row. I've managed to get out for just two weeks all up. No...

Last year I had to go out prospecting in Feb in WA, managed to get a 6 oz patch, the pic is day 1 and temps were 40 plus degrees. Personally I don't think heat causes the ground conditions to change as in noise. But Its the sunlight that charges the ground up. Even in winter months I noticed the...

Mate not wrong about bushmans, I think I mentioned the chemical burns I got to the face from it. I'm off tomorrow so good luck to everyone for 2016. Just in regards to the bits I got last year. I worked 10 to 16 hour days, everyday. By season end I was pretty spent. My left hand was in bad...

No probs will try get something up in next couple months. If you're heading to eastern goldfields mostly hy/diff with high sens is way to go. Some areas in northern goldfields you can run hy/normal with high sens and places like Nullagine on the flat ground hy/diff as it gets a bit noisy. But...

Mate last year I recovered many thousands worth of target retrievals. Both trash and gold. There were still plenty times where I'd get a pretty good response that sounded deep but would be a false target. On those particular targets I'd just dig 6 in or so, if response improved great, if reduced...

Gday Bigwave, yeah the NBC is way to go I reckon. I used to use bushman's extra deet but got Chem burns to the face with prolonged use. Recently I upgraded the gear in the vehicle and now run a dual battery system in the back that powers a fridge and freezer and whatever else i need to charge...

Gday Bigwave, the heat is unavoidable and is terrible out there if camping but flies aren't a prob when using natures botanical crme everyday. Its the best repellent. I don't mind the cold myself as I get to prospect longer. Generally during the cold season in the West there's not too many rain...

Wait to you see one of the dryblowers in action. I won't say much to ruin the show but its a ripper.

For those that are not aware there is a show that will be out on Discovery some time after sept this year called Aussie Gold. Season 1 will be 8 episodes. The show has been filmed around the Kalgoorlie region. There are 4 groups of characters in it. These characters are chasing gold via...

Cheers Westaus and Nanjim.yeah it wasnt too bad season last year. Lot of bloody holes ha. I tied whacking up more pics yesterday but for some reason they didn't come up. I'll try again

Westaus I forgot to add that doing it full time is very very difficult. The hardest thing I've done. But hey its pretty good fun. Some days nothing then next several grand. Couldn't think of doing anything else now.

Cheers guys glad to be on board and look forward to contributing whenever I can.

Thanks for the welcome Nenad and glad to be on here. Good forum. Mate cannot wait to get out there again particularly with the big coil. I'll be starting next week and see how this year transpires.
