had my first trip to the Vic goldfields. Finds thin on th ground but my bigger nugget was 1.93, 30 cm down in gravel. Got to be happy with that. My other find if I breathed on it would be 0.5 gram. I also engaged in my other passion, photography, here are some shots taken during my visit - if...

Hi I have two garrett propointers for sale. The one with yellow writing is $70, the one with white is $60. They are in working order but old hence the low price, a slight adjustment may be necessary to the battery cap when installing a new 9 volt battery may be necessary for the one off button...

G'day prospectors, after a session of detecting on a very windy day and having some trouble hearing the threshold on the 5000 and watching one of Lenad's great videos, where he recommended the Technics RP 1200 headphones, I decided invest in a pair. Received them via Amazon for about $160...

G'day Had a somewhat frustrating day at the goldfields, found three quarters of the day that I had knocked my timings into enhance so was not detecting as deep as i wold like. However, what is more important is the learning and the upside was that Justin (my youngest) and I had a great day...

G'day folks Having a day outing planned is a bit distracting even if the weather looks like it could be a bit ordinary at times. Dream t of finding a 40 coin cache of Victorian era coins including 3 sovereigns on the trip this weekend - a nice way to start the day but a bit of a reality check...

My finds for today, off a nice run I have worked recently. Willo

I am beginning to like the goldfields near to home. Today my wife generously gave me a day leave pass so headed to a south coast goldfield to a spot I had partially worked. Found the first piece about 0.7 gram quite deep and then the other two by midday. I was surprised I dug a lot less junk (as...

Hi I finally had a day to detect down at the NSW south coast, my first swing of the 5000 since February. I had decided on three spots following some research of the area I was going to visit and did not get past spot A. My first piece, a lovely specimen of about 1.5 grams screamed as it was...

Sounds like the Olympics but alas I am no Olympian but happy with these pre-decimal finds in my local area. SOme were very shallow others were quite deep, still more to be found I think! Ian

G'day all just returned from a weeks detecting in the golden triangle area with another forum member, Detectist. Weather was hot so got on the move early each day and laid up during the hottest part of the day. Worked a combination of the digs, near the digs and further out (the last day and a...

I was lucky to have a leave pass for a few days detecting in Victoria. spent most of my time searching areas for the bigger pieces in the more dificult areas for my largest piece (a modest 0.59 gram). Backed up with some nice littlies from the digs, the two smallest were 0.6 gram!!! Will have...

Hi all Got up early to seek some permissions to get onto an old site or two. Struck it lucky with a person who told me the location of an old bottle dump about a kilometre away fro another old site I had worked with my son Justin last weekend. Directions proved accurate and sure enough there...
