Brilliant. Thank you for you knowledge! I appreciate it.

I recently came across this minelab coil. Just wondering if anyone knows what it fits? I did some searching myself, but didn't find anything. Any help is appreciated.

Did my first beach detecting in Rockingham WA recently, with my Garrett Infinum. Phil fixed it for me a while back, but I hadn't had any time to make a post in the last 9 months, as I've been travelling.

Just wanted to end this thread with a big thank you to Phil from the Gold Mining Centre in SA. He did a great job, and I'm thankful for his excellent work.

Hmm... that might be it. I see that my headphone pin is a little bent, and I'm having troubles getting it back into the hole. Grrr.. After an hour, I decided to give it a rest for a while, and come back to it when I'm more focused. I'm really hoping this is the problem. I'm just dying to get...

yes. I tried both. I was thinking it might be electrical interference. I did think I was far enough away from power-lines and such, on the beach. How far away from civilization do I have to be? I'm about 800m from power-lines (through trees). But if that's affecting the Infinium then I'd say it...

I just bought my first detector. A Garrett LS Infinium (second-hand). It came with two DD coils. The standard one, and a smaller one. I've never tuned in a detector, but I did read forum post, the manual and watched some Youtube clips - but something isn't right. I start with the Discrimination...

Thank you. Should have thought if that myself. According to the manual it comes with a tornado coil. Assuming all tornado models are waterproof, then I'm guessing it's waterproof. Cheers!

Does anyone know what the standard coil is for the Sovereign Elite? Is it waterproof? I'm thinking if buying a Sovereign I've seen, that comes with it's original coil. But I don't want to buy it if it's not waterproof, since buying another coil is going to cost me $250, and then I think I'm just...

Great info guys. Really. I appreciate it. I found a whites Beach Hunter ID. I know it's not a 300 model, but is it similarly good in comparison to price, or just a waste of time? I also found a Garrett Infinium. Good, or a no goer? I would be far more inclined to buy second hand, rather...

I've been looking more closely at getting a beach capable detector, as opposed to a minefields style PI, due to my limited budget. There are just so many detectors out there, and I've been doing my research, only to end up relatively confused. My goal is a detector under $1000. I have been...

It's possible they didn't have enough information on him at the time of the other scams. But I practically sent them a full file on the guy. They were "impressed", and couldn't believe I got his photo, real phone number and address. And thanks to those who files complaints about him in the past...

Good news. Talked to the cops. Their going to have a little visit with him. Fingers crossed.

Thanks you for the information Goldtarget. I wasn't clear on a few things you mentioned... Are you suggesting that a Fisher Gold Nugget or Whites GMT would be better than the AT or 705.... but I should consider getting a PI (like Minelab 3000)? If so, I would love to. BUT, I do have a budget...

Thanks :) things are looking up. :D

Thanks for all the really supportive comments (much nicer than my Whirlpool experience.... haha). I'm not into lynching this guy. Just stopping him from scamming others, or at least giving him some sort of police record. And if I'm supremely lucky... get my money back. The police left me a...

Great! The Garrett AT sounds good. How about the Whites GMT?

I'm looking into buying my first detector YAY! So I'd really like some input. Firstly: I have done some research myself, but I'm still unsure what is right for me and my requirements. I'd appreciate any input. What I'm looking for: * A second-hand detector that is under $1000 * Preferable...

I just joined this forum, after being scammed by a metal detector scammer in SA. It was suppose to be my first detector, but I'm not going to let it sour me from detecting. I look forward to learning all about detecting from the 'pros', and getting any nuggets of wizdom you may have to share. I...

Do you mean the one in Saddleworth? Because I believe he has moved. I know his mail goes to Athelstone SA....
