    Minelab Does anyone know what Minelabs first detector was called?

    I went detecting in 1989 with Bob White (who owned the Elm Motel in Bendigo) and Barry Maggs. Bob was using a GT 16000 and I was using a Fisher Gold Bug. I later used a GT 16000 that year. Someone showed me a Goldseekers 15000 but I cannot remember who it was? Then in 1990 I met Peter Bridge (a...

    Need Help with Catching Ultra Fine Gold!

    https://rgmak.com/ A Jig, like the ‘Riverdance Jig’. A Jig gets almost totally everything to the finest micron gold that would normally go out the end of a sluice box which any type of sluice riffles or matting would lose micron gold, even better than a Shaker Table in my opinion. Jigs are also...

    Whinge of the day thread...

    I do agree with you, and also swearing when telling a story and against an inanimate object is not as bad ‘but’ swearing against another person or people which is worse. Also do not use the Lord’s name in vain.

    Minelab Help please - GPX6000 screeching problem

    You did not answer my question:: Does your 6000 scream on “both” the external speaker and also through the headphones?? (Because if it screams only through the external speaker but not the through the headphones then that is a well known factory recall fault with a 6000.)

    Today I BOUGHT

    I do love Oysters in all forms but where I live the canned (tinned) Smoked Oysters in the store are from China. I will not buy, I will not eat, and I do not trust “any type of food” from China.

    Axiom or 4500 ?

    So are you saying the 5000 gets pretty well everything the on first time by gridding, then by using the 7 and a 6 going over that exact same ground a second time again the amount of gold found was not worth the time and effort put in.?? Someone explained to me that they would like to see a new...

    Other Brands AlgoForce e1500 coil recommendations?

    Yes I am sorry I understand. I will ‘not’ talk anymore about the GPX6000 coils on this thread. But I see other people on this thread are also off-topic. Also I had to respond to ‘madmax’ above to defend myself when I am both falsely accused and insulted on this thread, no more said about it...

    Other Brands AlgoForce e1500 coil recommendations?

    I did not know Rowan was crook, I’m not a mind reader. Do not falsely accuse me with an insult ‘that it does not matter to me that Rowan is crook’ (but the truth is it does matter to me, I do care, and I knew his dad Barrie and went for a cuppa in his house) and also falsely that ‘I am a hard...

    12" River Sluice

    I prefer plastic sluices, I have several Angus MacKirk sluices and a Le Trap plastic sluice. Both are lightweight. But the Angus MacKirk sluices are stronger and some (not all) have the Abyss riffles that prevent losses from ‘surging’ better than the Le Trap but the Le Trap is deadly at catching...

    Other Brands AlgoForce e1500 coil recommendations?

    Thank you for the very good explanation. Not just by reading it off of the NF website but rather instead I first hand “do” know about “broke their promise”. Because I personally spoke with Rohan from NF on the phone last year and he “did” tell me that the new Exceed coil would be out later last...

    Other Brands AlgoForce e1500 coil recommendations?

    Very interesting. Also I wonder why last year NF broke their promise of both an Exceed 16x10” and Exceed Sadie 8x6” by not following through with building them, but then decided to built this Sadie 8x6” Mk2 instead??
