I recently purchased a gpz 7000, it's my first decent detector after being given a 30 year old unit. I have been trying to find ground on the south coast of NSW unsuccessfully, and was hoping for some advice. I recently went on a course out west and my girlfriend managed to find three small...

Well thank you all for the excellent comments and input. Some very interesting variations and considerations to make. I can tell from all your experience that this probably won't be the last detector I will purchase so I think I'll just have to enjoy whichever detector I choose. I'm thinking the...

Thanks for the pointers, I'll be weighing up the options but sticking to minelab.

I have recently been considering upgrading my detector from an old Whites Coinmaster to a new PI detector. My two preferred options which are controlled by budget of course are the Garrett ATX and the minelab SDC2300. I prospect in areas that can be heavily mineralised(ironstone), I was...

Thanks Goldtarget. I'm waiting on my stand for it to be delivered anytime now. I'll keep in mind what you said about water flow when cleaning up. I'm thinking about making my header box/grizzly out of a plastic tub, so to keep the weight down and use it to carry supplies on them longer walks...

Has anyone tried to run a LeTrap sluice box as a powered sluice or highbanker? I just brought one and I'm looking for ideas to set it up. Or Has anyone used one as a stream sluice just wondering what type of results you may have got?

I got myself a Coinmaster 6000 metal detector, it seems to function correctly. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on settings as I am obviously new to the detecting side of prospecting. It would be greatly appreciated.

Went for a run out to the Turon river 2 weeks ago, ran my high banker for two and a half days and came back with just over 1.7g. Was happy with the results but feel there is room for improvement. Need to make a few modifications to the equipment.

Good pics, very interesting.

Nothing in the Wollongong area. Have done a little work but mainly just to test my gear as I built it. Pieces are few and far between.

Hi Nugget, Thanks I'm from Wollongong, NSW. I've used it twice as a highbanker out at Oallen Ford, just around the camp area got a very little bit of gold and as usual for the area it was flour stuff. Think i need to get away from the camp area down there, but considering traveling a little...

here is a picture of how my sluice/high banker started. I had some trouble uploading the pic, hope this works.

My name is Brendan, I began prospecting almost a year ago. I don't seem to get enough time to get out and enjoy this wonderful hobbie. I began with a simple home made sluice which I made from some materials that were lying around my garage, and some matting from bunnings. I've slowly built it...

Some great information thanks for the advise loamer, I have so much to learn.

Thanks for the information, I'm hoping to get out there in the next few weeks myself. I've been working around the crossing at oallen ford with limited success so was hoping to travel a little further to increase my chances. If anyone has some information an the oallen ford area I'd really...

Hello all, I'm Brendan, I'm pretty new to the prospecting scene and was wondering if i could get some advise on camping and prospecting the turon river? Would I be able access the area with a two wheel drive vechicle, and if so where would be a Good place to start? Is there much private land...
