Scratch Awl. Silky Oak, Copper and Stainless thread. Rectangular stock turned on the lathe, the flat bits stop it rolling off the bench.

On Tuesday I went to the local recycling centre and found an old (1978) Coinmaster 6/D and grabbed it for $10. Apparently it was a great machine and was a $400 buy in the late 70s.

Buying that made me want to get into hunting for gold/meteorites and whatnot. The only thing that doesn't work is the internal speaker.

So, I got bored and went out to the shed.

* First I made a mono plug with small speaker which works really well as a 'built in' speaker. Headphones work better but it's nice to have the option.

* Next I grabbed my monopod for my camera and mounted it onto my detector so now it's much easier to travel with. it will even hook onto my camping pack so I now have a telescopic detector.

* I was also sick of carrying a small bag so I mounted a small old camera case under my detector for spare batteries and small finds.

Everything works perfectly and it's so good having a small detector to put in the car. Hope you like what I did with my boredom.

Hi Jaros. I found a White's Coinmaster 6/DB the other day for $10 and that's where it began for me less than a week ago. Apparently it's a good old machine. Seems to do the job.

They are a bloody good old coin/relic machine. Just keep up the ground balancing. As I said before. I have one in the shed still working after 20 years. Lost the battery cover though. LOL at the 6 9v battery's.
 
I haven't made it yet but I am I'm the process of obtaining bits and pieces to build a power sluice. Today I got batteries! For free too... Well kinda a trade . Seems as they are the most expensive part of I get them first the rest should be easier to get

Dan,
What do you mean by power sluice?

A 12v version of a high banker which is also a lot smaller. Might not be the correct name for it but is sounds good I like building things so I'll give it ago
