    Golden Point - Maryborough

    Thanks 7.62marksman, seems to be a bit of that go on in this forum. Prefer people contribute to conversation rather than go sideways on a topic. Not a direct dig at anyone by the way. I doubt a pick or camera would've helped much if these idiots decided to return with something more serious...

    Golden Point - Maryborough

    Was out with the wife again today at Golden Point, Sth of Maryborough. A beautiful place with plenty of reefs to look at. Our third time there so still investigating areas, the wife seems to find the odd sub sub grammer, me not so much. Today we had an unfortunate incident where a group of...

    Minelab Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    I have it on good authority the GPZ has part of the magic electronic potted in epoxy to protect and hide the design. Yes, it is still possible to copy with a huge amount of effort and destroying a few zeds in the process. The Chinese GPZ have a different display indicating different electronic...

    FOR SALE: 25" ROUND EVOLUTION COIL

    PRICE DROP: $400 - pick up only This thing is a beast on your GPX - patch hunt with less overlap, or grid search an old worked patch with slow close overlap for those deep hidden targets. Either way it's a bargain, and a win-win for your search for more gold on thrashed ground.

    How is gold formed.

    I've read it a while ago. A very interesting take on holds origins. I understand the theory, but have zero background knowledge in this field. So basically, when we find all the existing gold on earth, there "might" not be any more coming. Time to start asteroid mining? Think I'll need a bigger...

    Minelab Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    Having watched the new video today, I must say that my opinion has "improved" of the 6000. Plus - light weight, plus - nice sensitivity, plus - all in one design. "If" my body can no longer deal with the heavier 7000, the 6000 would be the next best thing.

    Possible GPZ Ground Noise?

    Couldn't agree more; and ....also, I try DEEP setting and see if the target localizes more. Many good tips here, I myself have dug quite a few ground noises - lately it has been damp iron rich red clay soil, sometimes with charcoal from bush fires. I dug through 200mm of this stuff then it...

    Minelab Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    Finally some footage of it in action! Sensitivity looks impressive. Still lots of set-up controls to learn. Nice design, though flimsy looking shaft. Yes, another ML winner, though not nearly enough to sway me from the GPZ I think it will be a good seller except for the price being to close to...

    Minelab Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    Sorry, but got to say....hilarious! Typical marketing spin. Especially all gold, all sizes, bla bla bla - but we only see huge nuggets being pulled. RE; Speaker position, I will call it now - it's pointing BACKWARDS, towards our back. Ears pick up sounds best from the front, have they learned...

    Google: California wind turbines, click "images" - it will blow your mind! :8

    Wind turbines

    Only with the newer, cleaner, smaller, safer types that are now becoming available. Less waste, much safer, though still nuclear. Probably the lesser of all evils though it seems the most due to historical events with older and poorly maintained designs.

    Wind turbines

    I,d prefer to see a massive maglev VAWT on hill tops. Lots of options and potential plus longer service life...They are not mainstream and not many want to dip their toe in first, but research shows they could compete well with the HAWT and not be so large and intrusive? I'm all for alternative...

    Bump.... Revision day! Looking to sell...... :Y: PRICE: $480. "Accepting reasonable offers". :clap: I do "prefer" pick-up, Australia Post seem to not appreciate when I walk in there with large, weird packages to send.

    Inglewood Victoria information and questions

    Great for having a crack at Inglewood, that bush is killer thick....especially north and east. As I understand it, this place still has a lot of small stuff waiting to be found. As you can see by the maps, it's a huge area, and well worked - I finally found a new - more open area and found a...

    Little Gold Patch Using GPZ & 15" X-Coil

    Nice crisp signal from the x-coil, similar to the NF12 inch, but nothing like the original 14 inch. Can certainly start seeing the necessity of updated coils for the zed.... That's a nice haul for just a short time! Keep up the good work, and appreciating your input around the forums - your...

    Tarnagulla Reserve closure

    You'd think opening a new store in these times wouldn't be advisable, but they probably did their research and are catering to the huge influx of tourist/prospectors that pump money into the town each year and stay at the local camp ground.....oh, um, scrap that - what camp ground? and what...

    Tarnagulla Reserve closure

    Maybe they are giving the gold time to grow back????

    Tarnagulla Reserve closure

    Maybe they are planning to sell some of it off? Complaints from locals? who knows, the government are just doing their thing - controlling everything and making money where they can't. Let's hope it's for a positive reason like conservation :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Was in Talbot sth a couple of...
