    eBay - PayPal 2021 payment changes

    Hi, this is what I am dealing with: just got this message today. I still can't access my money and have no reassurance it will even arrive. For this reason, and the fact this is my first transaction with the new system, I will be waiting to see the money before I send anything. Who knows "where"...

    eBay - PayPal 2021 payment changes

    UPDATE: Guess what? This morning the money had finished being classed as processing, but still unavailable. It said I was due for a payment on the 15th (today). This evening the money is still not in my account and says I am due for a payment on the 16th (tomorrow). This is a total scam and...

    eBay - PayPal 2021 payment changes

    Checked account again; So they are telling me the buyer has paid me and I am to send them the item though they are not giving me my money yet??? I think all the comments above are valid - where other options are available, think I will be using them and ditching eBay....absolutely ridiculous...

    Gold is where you Find it.

    Think Ill "choose" to leave some gold for others....I suffer major claustrophobia - forget the safety issue. (though it all looks like solid rock??)

    Headphone compatible hat.

    Check it out here: https://www.finderskeepersgold.com/product/hat-suits-earmuff-extra-exta-large/ Though I believe most prospecting shops can get them in for you... a great idea considering how the Australia sun can cause skin cancer, and I hate wearing greasy lotions and potions.

    eBay - PayPal 2021 payment changes

    What a scam! eBay are dumping PayPal as their preferred payment method and eventually dumping them. What have they offered in return? eBay payments managed by eBay, keeping it all in-house under the premise of lower fees and better control. Well my first experience is this PayPal, you could use...

    Headphone compatible hat.

    Just a thought, the old Chinese hats? Unlike the western style hats that use a brim around the head. Some modifications and it could be used with headphones??? :Y:

    Headphone compatible hat.

    We need an inventor here! A new hat with good sun shading, cool to wear (solar fan?), fly net, suitable for full size headphones and glasses.

    aptX Low Latency compatible gear - Equinox & GPX6000 users

    I've been trying to get BT 5.0 to work with my 7000 (no perceivable latency), but always ends up with some sort of EMI creeping in?? Thinking of trying UHF wireless 2.4ghz or 5.8ghz audio gear.

    ⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

    GPZ 7000 - standard 14 inch coil, factory settings except volume 4, audio smooth off, WM12 speaker (with secret 0.75c diy amplifier) - approx 70mm deep. Big finds at Inglewood (even though I said I'd never return due to the thick scrub). Also took the new ML 19 inch coil for a spin, found even...

    Nugget Finder Z search GPZ coils

    Just took my Z-search off and gave it to the wife - can I expect to see similar results? :o Congrats on some very nice nuggets, my 7000 is great at finding tree roots, maybe I should keep trying around trees?

    ⭐ Alluvial Show n Tell

    Can't find the picture of the two "larger" nuggets as seen in the pan itself, but these were a few more good sizes found while panning the rivers edge. Hope this gives creditable evidence???

    ⭐ Alluvial Show n Tell

    My daughters were on a school camp in Eastern Victoria (Warburton) last week and as a part of the activities they were shown how to pan then sent down to the river. To the camp owners, one returned with two nuggets around a gram each in the pan... Because of the advent of metal detectors some...

    White's MXT Pro / Vic Gold Trip

    Agreed, the 4500 if you can get a good price is more versatile than the Garret with plenty of accessories available, but has more controls and is somewhat cumbersome in it's setup/layout. It's the next step up technically and you can't go wrong with it in the long term, but also has a longer...

    Day One With The SDC2300.

    You can still do well just practicing over the old diggings, I occasionally find very small gold among the lead shot in the first cm or two. Then it's a matter of working out that specific place you are prospecting, where the gold came from, how it got "there" and if it left a trail.....lots of...

    White's MXT Pro / Vic Gold Trip

    Looks like you are getting good advice so will be brief, Garret ATX is a great machine and a good buy at that price. Would take it over any of the other PI machines mentioned as a "first detector". The learning curve of your detector becomes longer with the more controls it contains. Forget VLF...

    Bad Back Ideas?

    Good advice, I just pick up a 19 inch for the zed and was wondering about the extra weight and my back/neck/shoulder issues.....will be testing out the double bungee idea! thanks
