thanks Mackka

I made up a couple of dolly pots, a detector shop wanted some, they already stock my Gold Digger Picks, so I made up these, they wanted 12 when they saw them, yep all good. 😄 cheers dave

mate there is something seriously wrong with that pick, the material it is made from is way to soft, just looking at the gouges and the corners worn away. you just need to buy a better pick 👌

I gave the new Charcoal Forge a bit of a run yesterday for a short while to see how it goes, I still need to make a hood and hat thingy to suck the ash and sparks up because when a bit of wind blows it send a shower of tiny sharks over me Ouch but it will heat metal, a piece of 12 mm round rod...

RIP the duck Trevor, condolences to family and friends regards dave n veronica

I have been using a LGP type forge to do some Blacksmith type forging and making various things. I have decided to make a Charcoal type forge to do the same kind of projects, but it should run a lot cheaper using wood/charcoal instead of LPG The build so far is going well, and with advice from...

go you good thing 👍👌

there is a Garrett Axiom for sale on here, Dennis is a good guy, I have known for a long time, https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/threads/garrett-axiom.41362/

G'day Deano The handle I use in my pick is 700mm long (27.5 inches) aprox it is spotted gum and I buy them from Mitre10 I cut 50mm (2") off the end with the lumpy part (that goes into to sledge hammer) and sand it down to fit the pipe fitting in the pick head cheers dave

yes mate, I hardly see the need to put a chip in the 6000 coils, they are light and flimsy, but mine is still working great, but then it has only been used for 6 or 7 weeks and I try not to bash it into things but sometimes it will hit hard against something

no the live tenement under the pending takes precedent, the pending where you can go is blue and only hatched in one direction the other is an aqua blue colour and cross hatched

yes, and with the 7000 I used to use the GPS on it's screen as a digital chain and it never left a mark on the ground 😂 now seeing as the new 6000 don't have that function I have reverted to having to use a physical chain and like you say Moneybox once it's done if someone else wants to redo it...

yes you always hope that will be the case :D

Still having a good time in WA outback detecting, finding lots of small bits of gold. cheers dave

the Gold Digger Picks I make and supply to the detector shops are sharpened on the outside, as the cutting blade is made from a plough disk and it has the sharp cutting edge on the outside, this seems to me to make the most sense, and when scraping the ground clean with the blade of the pick...

yep same for me, when we first started we would get every copy, now it's like one a year maybe

it's mostly pages of Advertisements now anyway indispersed with a few stories

next camp spot now and it's going very well also some nice ground around here to detect. A specie that someone had a bit of a scrape at but it was about another 6" deeper 25 bits of gold for the 6000 today, 3.49g it works well cheers dave

haha, yes, and I know where you got yours from 👌

We bought the gpx6000 minelab detector brand new a few weeks ago and it going great, found a couple of patches of small stuff so far and plenty of scattered bits. This is the start of another little patch today, 12 bits so far and hope it keeps going. Might just have to grid this a bit with a...
