    Hilux's finds

    Tried a different spot along the river not expecting to find anything. Got a Sixpence, Florin, Penny and a Half Penny.

    Newbie in Melbourne

    Find old places with open dirt. For older coins try river banks, old jetties, old towns on rivers, closed schools, disused ovals and under really old big trees.

    I finally got to test the Haylou Purfree Lite bluetooth bone conduction head set with the Vanquish 540. They are no good. There's too much delay for them to be practically usable. So the outcome is - don't buy them for detecting use. For general headphone use they work fine.

    My wife walked in shook her head, laughed and walked out.

    Bone conduction headphones with APTX codec

    I have not yet had a chance to test out the Haylou headset yet but I did a quick test to compare it to the Shokz Open Run head set. I spun a piece of wood with a $2 coin taped to either end on my coin tumbler. I recorded the response of the speaker only, the Haylou headset and the Shokz Open...
