Had a ripper day with the sdc, its my second day at detecting with it. Found these bits of rubbish first then another target and covered by a couple of eucalyptus leaves was this nugget this is where it was resting, left of the coil. it takes me a years worth of panning to match that. Then...

purchased the sdc and went out yesterday to try the detector out and tried to use the headphones supplied with it. The headphones keept slipping of my head when digging targets, so i put my beanie over the top, this worked but soon after it was just to hot to wear. I can get away with no...

Im thinking about moving on from my xt 1700 to a sdc. If I do buy a sdc what extras for the sdc would you recommend, e.g. head phones etc. I know bugger about about detectors as I have never meet any detectorists in my area ( except lesgold and info on this forum). Its just me and my mate the...

Found this old village out in middle of the scrub. Used to have a school, wardens hut, shops and 3,500 people living here. This tank used to be full of cyanide. There is a heap of material in the bottom of it. Would it be safe to pan it.

I thought i would venture to some unknown creeks around my area. There is little or no recorded history in my area as the mining register burnt down just after the first rush. I went to a single line track that drops into a creek that i have riden for over twenty years. The name of this old...

No gold to show instead a couple of spanish mackeral. I lost 4 and landed two.

I haven't had a chance to get out collecting gold. Because the spanish mackeral have showed up :party: . So i took a pan down the beach to teach the kids panning. And ended up with no gold but lots of rutile. . If anyone wants some for free. let me know.

On my minelab xt 170000 i have a question about my baterry set up. The original battery housing on the detector fell apart, so I cut of the old power cables and installed a cat deutsch plug and ran powers wires to the battery that i carry on my belt. I want to change the 12v sealed lead acid...

I'm trying to find the source of the rough gold that I'm collecting. Iv moved up hill out of the creek and started to find more and more galena. The amount of gold I'm collecting isn't increasing but the galena is. Just want to know if galena is associated with gold.

I've finished my walbanker... I bought a 1.5 inch chinese copy of the honda wx15. Couldnt afford the real thing so this will have to suffice. Time will tell how long it lasts... Ill have to find time to give the banker a run in between detecting, panning, exploring and my family. Any comments...

Iv foung a vein of quartz whilst detecting in a deep gorge. The detector picked up something in the vein. I want to dig into it. What do you usually use to dig into the vein. Its very hard rock surrounding it. I think its volcanic basalt. Any comments would be good.
