Sorry for my tardy responses. Thanks SS. I have leccy taped the big Minelab battery to the side of the DD cover to give it a try 🤣 It is heavy and makes the detector want to tilt to the R) but I will give it a go this week and see how I fare. Have altered the harness a little to try and...

Thanks SS. That is certainly the cheapest option as I already have 2 X of the lithium batteries for the 5000. Yes, the weight would be my main concern too. Certainly a good harness makes a difference and I already use a guide stick - they are imperative I think. I even use it on the 6000...

Thanks IB. I’m thinking very similar to the Coiltek setup that I have for the GP3500? Fairly compact and with the little pack it just hangs off the side. But, it is 470 gm and they are only 6600 mAh. Any idea what weight yours is? Having nearly half a kilo hanging off the side - it all...

Hi Ethan. I was in Leinster, Leonora, Laverton in the past couple of weeks. Pretty much all roads are open now but some with a ‘caution’ attached. A few salt lakes are chockers with water but the roads we travelled were generally good, some are excellent. Remember 40E’s, or only...

The good old search function has brought me to this thread, which has been interesting. I've been lucky enough to recently receive a modded 5000 (modded by Mick at Detectronics) and a really good range of coils. Likely to sell the 6000 in the near future. Looking to set up a battery system...

Got the moss and the grapes around the wrong way 🤪

This sort of thing esros?

Terrible news 😞 RIP Wal. Condolences to you Liz 💐

I know what you mean. I grew up on a sheep farm and had roast lamb, minced lamb, braised lamb, crumbed lamb, lamb curry, lamb chops, lambs fry 🤣 By the time I went to Uni I couldn’t stand it. But, now it would have to be my favourite, especially roast shanks. Love lambs fry and love mum’s...

Yep, bloody beautiful. Why the cranky face? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks all. Same issue as Casper, crashes on startup. I thought to delete and reinstall but I assume I would have lost all trails, spots, gold marks for this trip if I did that?? Last day today so not an issue for a week or so now.

Sunset 2 nights ago… Tea tonight… Goldfields WA

Evening all. I downloaded the new Trilobite update from the Apple Store 2 days ago and since then haven’t been able to open it. Thankfully brother in law has a backup Samsung with everything I need. Anybody else has the issue? I contacted David through the website 2 days ago but no...

Thanks Rick 👍 Only just back in range now. Missed him unfortunately. Maybe next year! Cheers, NE.

Evening all. Have tried a couple of different avenues to contact Steve (MadTuna) but to no avail (homestead number and email at the start of this thread). Also the email and mobile provided by DMIRS but I think that just goes to the corporates in Perth or wherever - and they haven’t...

GP 3500 and Coiltek 40”x20” AI drag coil. Currently set up as a drag unit on a ‘walk and drag’ system. Polycarbonate base has already done about 20km over rocky ground and it is in remarkable condition. Very light and very simple system. Will mostly suit salt lakes or large open flats but...

You joined the Mile High Club - well done ;)

Hi Teacup, I have owned a Gold Monster and although it is easy to use, there is almost not enough control available which XLOOX suggested also. Have not used a 24K or Kruzer but I do see a lot of the Americans raving about the 24 K. Aureous on DP forum is an Australian who also suggests it...

Hi Nenad, Good info 👍 Not sure if you are happy to, but could you also list those coils you tried that you wouldn't recommend? And, just wondering why some weren't suitable? Poor performance on small gold? Did not calibrate? Cheers, N.E.
