Well, as inevitability goes I've lost track of time spent coin hunting :o A few hours here and there and I'm now around the $100 mark. As a guess I'd have to say it'd be around the 12-14 hours+ mark of specifically looking for decimals. Nothing sensational but better than a kick in the arse...

Thanks Ramjet. There's a fellow in my local area wreaking havoc though.. unemployed, spends all day every day detecting the hell out of all the popular and historic sites [that he knows of ;)] and doing a fairly messy job of it. Pretty soon he'll either clean out or get detecting banned in our...

TIME SPENT: 4h 55m MONEY FOUND: $32.80 $'s left to Reach Target: $118.20 Slowed up a bit but still progressing. (+ 1st pre decy, a 1960 Shilling.. woot! =P)

Thanks guys.. it's looking more and more like I'll need to order one from the states. Can't find a local seller of the US version anywhere. The CSI Pro appears more than my budget, but thanks.

If I were you I'd post it to a British forum. Looking at the ridges around the crest face there doesn't seem to be any uniformity suggesting it was hammered. It would be interesting to see it clearer from a cast. If you could be buggered you should make a plaster cast to see if you can pick...

TIME SPENT: 2h 25m MONEY FOUND: $24.80 $'s left to Reach Target: $125.20 Haven't been out much since first post. Tested a few spots with potential but need spend more time. Getting there!

Thanks again Nugget. Not sure why I've seen a few recommend the US version over the international for Aussie coins then? Does sounds like the international is the go.

Thanks Nugget.. I'd had a read of that. Most say the tone spread in the US version work better for Australian finds. I tried those and other suppliers they all seem to have the international version. On more research that's all Garrett seem to currently produce, international versions that...

Nothing sinister as the thread title may suggest. My wife, bless her, has seen my excitement in detecting and wants to get me something better. Originally I had my eyes on the x-terra 705 but the more I've looked into the AT Pro the more I like. My question is I've seen that there are 2...

I could equip a small army with ACE 150's for the price of a 5000 :P My aim is to use the proceeds for an upgrade eventually.. my target is for an x-terra 705, no matter how long it takes!

Hi all, I seen this on another site but like this site better :) plus I thought it would be fun and informative for others looking to get into detecting on a budget (like me) but curious as to what can be found with a budget priced unit. As the subject indicates I have an ACE 150 which I have...

Thanks Nugget, yeah borrowing for a day or so is a definite and a fair point. As I said I have an extremely limited budget and I guess my vision is to upgrade as time goes on. I'll see how I go.

Being very keen to start, and having a very limited budget, I've been looking around at starter models to kick off my hobby. A friend of mine as acquired an ACE 150, only used twice, on a trade and is looking to sell it on. He's looking at $130 for it but I'm wondering how well something like...

Definitely looks chess related with the Knight piece and the checkerboard background.

Could be a gaming token or something commerative. What's on the front side?

Thanks for the welcome. @Mystyk59, love Angaston.. one of the last sleepy Barossa towns. Don't get me wrong, gold does interest me, but I figure I'll have more of a chance on finding volume of items hunting for relics and developing proficiency with the detecter than gold which would be more...

Hi all, I literally haven't prospected since I was a young lad panning for gold (near on 30 years) but now the kids are getting older and I'm looking to start detecting as a hobby, hopefully get one of the kids off the Xbox and out too, but high hopes there :) Plenty of spots around my area...
