Cant seem to post in the For Sale section anymore since becoming a Site Sponsor so I will post it here until a moderator can move it to the right section:

ITS THE TIMES ARE TOUGH SALE :(

Now I am unemployed and cant seem to find work in Brisbane, times are tough.

I am reluctant to do so but I need to start selling off my hard won prospecting gear to pay some bills. :(

Anyway my loss is your gain. Heres the start of it:

1. Garrett GTI 2500 $800 + Postage;
Comes with manual and a set of Koss TD/80 headphones only has the standard coil.

2. Eldorado River Sluice $300 + Postage;
Unused never hit the water bought it from NQ Miners Den when I was in Cairns.

3. Bazooka Gold Trap $200 + Postage;
Prospector model. It was used when I bought it. Hard to get in Australia.
Used once in the Clohesy river FNQ. Was able to trap fine gold with it.

4. High banker $500 + Postage
She is a real cracker and has found gold down to flour gold.
Only been used half a dozen times so like new as I moved onto Metal Detecting.
Made by Bruce Bertram from the Warwick Gold fields, comes with everything you need.
Uses an electric bilge pump 2000gph.
Good for processing material at home or in the field, can recirculate water if water is scarce.
You just need a car battery and away you go.

Will try and get some photos / videos to show these items.

Also selling a JEEP Grand Cherokee Limited Edition 1999 WJ series, V8 with a 2" lift kit so plenty of grunt and clearance $7500.

All these items will be advertised elsewhere after a week but thought I would give you guys first crack at them.

Items can be viewed and picked up from my location in Brisbane or I can post them anywhere in Australia at cost. PM me to arrange this.

Trying to hang onto the Minelabs and the Troopy as long as I can but these too may have to go. :(
 
Very sad to hear mate times are tough when ya gota sell ya toys. Im sending some luck your way mate i hope things turn around for ya ...i win never forget your generosity. Karma is a crazy thing ....
 
Sorry to hear times are tough Grant. I hope things pick up and you get a job so you can keep your gear.
Good luck with it all.
Moved your post to the For Sales section as requested.

Cheers

I know times are tough but with all the gear you got you might be able to put it to good use to scratch up a few dollars while waiting for a job to come through. Or have you been there done that?
 
sorry to here times are tough mate, hope you can get your app out sooner rather than later i know you'll have the forums support when you do.

1. Garrett GTI 2500 $800 + Postage

First sale fell through so its back on the market again.

Comes with original owners manual and a set of Koss TD/80 headphones and the 9.5" PROformance Imaging submersible coil.

Heres everything that is included:

Heres the coil. Its the 9.5" PROformance Imaging submersible coil, its waterproof but I never put that to the test:

1424152949_img_1004.jpg


I've added a comfy arm rest to it as the standard one is just a couple of pieces of foam on it. This one is sheepskin.

1424152961_img_1005.jpg


It breaks down into 3 pieces and fits neatly in the bag.

The metal detector goes in the main section and the headphones and user manual go in the large pocket at the end of the bag.

9. Coiltek 24x12 Elliptical UFO Coil Waterproof (rare) $500 + Postage

The 24x12 Elliptical UFO is hard to find in Australia as they rarely come up for sale, its an All-Terrain coil. It is a resin potted coil which means that it is also Waterproof. I used it as a patch finder. For its size it is amazingly light weight, and it is great for covering a lot of ground at great depth for larger gold nuggets whilst still being able to detect small shallow nuggets.
