    Tibooburra Gold.....a beginners "El Dorado."

    I wouldn’t say one is any better than the other, but only that the BEST place is where YOU find gold.

    Other Brands AlgoForce E1500 - NEW PI DETECTOR FROM EX MINELAB ENGINEER

    Well I’m hoping that my latest acquisition, which was very generously donated to me by a certain champion bloke in the NT ( Thanks Dave ),gets some extra depth on larger bits. It’s a 17 x 11 NF Advantage, which calibrates and works fine on my AlgoForce. I gave it a fresh coat of silver and it...

    Tibooburra Gold.....a beginners "El Dorado."

    May I suggest that the near town blow dryer heaps would have been seriously done over by much better gold machines than the Nox. If you’re set up to camp off grid then get out to either Gumvale or Mt. Stuart and look for shallow creeks or water run off hollows that carry the tiny gold that the...

    Nokta/Makro Legend target sound with coil bump

    I can’t say I’ve noticed any bump sensitivity with any of my Legend coils. Make sure your coil cable is fully inserted and tight at the connection. You need to push it home as you tighten the nut. If that is ok, then maybe a coil issue.... Strange that both coils do it though.

    Heritage Laws in Victoria being used against metal detectorists

    Here is a speech Luke Phillips gave at the recent National Detecting day held at Lucky Strike Gold Geelong. His passion for and knowledge of all things related to coin and relic hunting is well worth the time to watch.

    Nokta/Makro Legend Users Feedback

    There are no issues that I know of with the current Legend. I’ve had mine for over 2 years and flogged the life out of it with not one single issue. Nokta’s build quality leaves other makers for dead. Sure there were some speaker failures earlier on but that’s been rectified. I never use the...

    Chewy...... I just had to go and re watch my favourite YouTube video of Wal and Liz’s up at Tibooburra. He passed on so much knowledge to me about the place. What a champ.

    Other Brands AlgoForce E1500 - NEW PI DETECTOR FROM EX MINELAB ENGINEER

    Yes, this machine is worth experimenting with the pinpoint mode in those situations. There’s something about PP that filters emi better as well. To compensate for the lack of depth in PP mode you could probably crank up the gain without upsetting the stability too much. I’ll have to see how...

    Very sad news. Wal and Liz.... what a team. I’m sure they will meet again on that golden path to tomorrow. RIP Wal. 💐

    Nokta/Makro New Legend owner

    You won’t be disappointed with the Legend mate. It’s a very capable machine once you learn it’s nuances and user interface. Make sure you have the current software version 1.13 downloaded. It has all the up to date features available. You can see which version the detector is using in the top...

    Yep, same here....on iOS devices seems like you need to do a complete delete of the app and then reinstall or it won’t run with the updated format from the developer.

    I’m having the same issue as Casper above. Click on the icon and the map turns on then immediately switches off. I haven’t done anything but update a few data layers recently. All was working fine, then went to open it today and nada....????

    Other Brands AlgoForce E1500 - NEW PI DETECTOR FROM EX MINELAB ENGINEER

    Well, I did a few air test swings over some of the lead shot sitting on my mild backyard soil. I was in the fine gold setting. The shot ranges in weight from 0.1 to 0.5 gms. The smallest wouldn't ID at all, but over say 0.3 pretty much all registered 00 with the exception of the only Iron one on...

    Well all my squat exercises came in handy after getting up and down to recover all this bird shot in the Vic. Goldfield this week. I can tell you that the E1500 loves the stuff and will definitely hear the tiny ones missed by others. My first gold with the Algo was a welcome sight in the scoop...

    Tibooburra Gold.....a beginners "El Dorado."

    You can camp on the gold at Mt. Stuart or Gumvale station for around $15 a day. So if you have a solar rechargeable power supply, food and water and camping gear, then go for it. Just don’t get lost......
