Speaking of camp chairs I was camped at Newnes in the last school holidays and a lady in the camp site across from us must of had issues with her chairs. All of a sudden we heard screaming and yelling and one after the other lost it with two camp chairs, dont know what type but they both ended...

Love my morning coffee and when I go camping I take a box of these with me. :coffee:

Im a novice detecting as well enjoying my first time detecting for gold with my son. We are currently at Hillend and were out this morning detecting and ran into Balmain Bob and Craig. Bob told me to slow my swing down and that really helped with the noise I was getting. Thanks Bob for the tips...

The Daylight creek spot below was free camping but here at Hil End we are in the Glendora campsite which is paid Terry :pickshovel:

Have made it to Hill End today and are staying at Glendora camp ground. We spent the last 2 nights on the edge of Daylight creek just up from the junction of Turpin creek in Sunny corner did some panning and exploring of the area. Both mornings at Sunny corner got down to -3 deg. Once we set up...

Finally got around to buying my chainsaw. Will give it a test run tomorrow then off camping for 10 nights. :playful:

I will give that a try Heatho and when I get back I will definitely take you up on that swing. Thanks and Happy detecting Terry. :pickshovel:

Hi All Nox owners, I've had my 800 for a couple of months now and have only detected on beaches. Today I went to a local oval and tried detecting there and was very overwhelmed by the constant signals it was giving off. How do you all tell whether there it is a good signal or not, as when I'm...

Hi Everyone, My son and I will be up in Hillend next Thursday or Friday week the 20th, depending on how we go at Sunny corner first and will probably stay for 3 days and use Hillend as a central camp spot. Just want to know where people prefer to camp and can you have fires at The Village camp...

Hey Heatho, By adjusting the gain do you just mean adjusting the sensitivity or is there some way of adjusting gain. Thanks Terry.

Update done, nice and easy. I also havent had the Nox that long to know whether it will make a difference. Has anyone updated theirs and taken it out for a test run. :Y:

Yeah its got a full size spare on the back door. Hopefully I dont need to use it. Touch wood.

Hi Dave, Welcome to the forum cant help with tips as Im new to the hunt as well but I have found the people on this forum very helpful. I am also going to Sofala towards the end of September so will be reading your replys to hopefully find some tips on places to go myself. Happy Detecting Terry.

Today I bought some more gear for my trip to lightning ridge via Hillend etc. Got a set of new BF Goodrich tyres for the Prado. And also got a Minelab profind 35 pinpointer. Will have to go and test them out before I leave. :D

Thanks for the comments and yes I think I will stay with either the Husky or stihl just for repairs sake. Ive always looked at the cheaper ones but never thought about trying to get parts when something goes wrong.

These are the places we have in mind to go to. We most likely wont make it to all of them as we have seen from the times we have been detecting that it is very time consuming. But would love any opinion on which of these places we should definitely go to this time and save the other places we...

Thanks for the warm welcome, We have a ruff idea of places we would like to visit on our trip to Lightning Ridge. Firstly we will likely start in Sunny Corner and make our way through WattleFlat, Sofola and Turon then up to Hillend. After Hillend we will come back down and around to Ophir and up...

While on the subject of chainsaws Ive just moved into a house with a fireplace and dont want to have to buy timber or rely on borrowing my brothers. Our family has always owned Stihl chainsaws but Id love to know opinions on the husky or other chainsaws and wether I should go with a 4 stroke...

Today I didnt dig any nails but I dug up about 20 bottle tops and couldnt bring myself to not dig them just incase. Even when I dug up a ring the signal it was giving I thought it trash.

Another outing to the beach found a couple of pennies and a 1961 florin. Also came across a Swiss tungsten black ring. Also a few $1, $2 and smaller coins. Exciting to find our first piece of jewellery. Definitely will be buying a pin pointer, one of the 20 cent pieces took ages to find. Had a...
