    Water Containers, Bungs and Taps

    The square type containers are harder to carry over a distance . Use a jerry can type . You have to hold the square ones off your legs .......

    Minelab Minelab GPX 4500 best wireless head phones ?

    I understand that you need to plug in a transmitter to the detector and a receiver on the head phones . Minelab do sell one for about $400 . Is there any others on the market ? Better or worse ???

    Quick build 'Blue Bowl'

    Golden rule of metallurgists , classify before separating . That is screen your material . You cannot mix up 2m.m. with say 6 m.m . A heavy piece of 2m.m. will be the same as a lighter 6m.m. piece . Savvy ???
