I can see the headlines now! Dave79 Went detecting for a weekend & got 32kg of sub Grammers & it's tax free 🤣

Everyone start saving all your receipts, equipment (detectors), fuel, accommodation (caravan etc) site fees, quads, side by sides, detecting clothes, sunnies, boots, snake gaiters, audio equipment, 4x4 vehicle, GPS etc! You can't find gold without them so they have to be legitimate costs to...

Agree with your sentiment but would add that sometimes it doesn't matter what machine people buy some won't find gold anyway, a good operator like yourself with a 5000 will always find more than an amateur with a 7000. I encourage you to borrow, hire or even buy a 6000 and go back to where you...

Yup! you have to be committed to It, to find enough to cover the initial outlay. Took me over 3 months staying in Georgetown (QLD) area & going out all day 5/6 days a week to get 137g so I fully understand where you're coming from. Cheers 👍

Great idea, you stick with the GM1000 & leave most of the gold for me 🤑

Who'd want to own a business in Australia? Sometimes things can get a bit hazed & legislators lose the plot & get carried away. As a consumer it's an unbelievably good scenario & as a consumer with so many rights to the point of being unfair to whoever I buy from makes it hard to believe anyone...

Yes I am aware of this, but for how long after warranty finishes does this apply? It's (consumer law) all a bit ambiguous as there doesn't seem to be any time frame, so does this mean warranty lasts forever? 🤯

I agree volume on low (gpx6000) but I hate headphones so use a Bluetooth receiver (with Aptx) attached to a Steelphase booster and a good set of earbuds (Flares Jet3) EMI is rarely a problem. As for reliability - well I have only met 1 person that hasn't had an issue with the GPX6000 mainly the...

Used to have a 5000 and I tried it on the beach & I can confirm IT'S RUBBISH! Every tiny bit of foil and bottle top, forget the dd with discrimination too its useless and many beaches are next to roads with powerlines EMI is uncontrollable (unless you run the dd in mono and cancel and invert the...

My setup includes a Steelphase booster an aptx bluetooth receiver & Flares audio "Jet 3" earbuds to use this setup without the steelphase there wouldn't be any volume control apart from the detector volume which probably isn't going to be very ear friendly. If you want to set up identical to...

Didn't share the gold then🤣

Ahh yes the boat (bring out another thousand) been there done that! Lots of fishing ending with eating lots of chicken 😁 and if you did catch a load of fish it's illegal to sell them and you have to throw the tiddlers back, unlike gold where the tiddlers go in the catch jar and you can sell as...

I understand it's a hobby not a job, I've found many bits sub 0.1g and gold in the scoop always produces a sense of pride and like many I've been guilty of hanging around too long on those spots in the past and I don't discount the future too as it's hard to walk away (you can always come back)...

A few jealous GPX6000 owners out there drooling over your glory bucket

My thoughts exactly! There's no point taking digging targets all day to get several bits that only total say 0.3g. When the fuel costs more than you find - what's the point? Just about every park in Aus will produce more gold ($1 & $2 coins) with an Equinox in half the time. Sometimes it just...

You should always double check just to make sure 🍻

Species and fines above + this

Been away swinging (get your mind out of the gutter) in Georgetown QLD too hot to stay there now so it was time to pissenovski!

The best decision ever, helps dull the grieving pain & fills an empty heart with joy again. Guess you figured I'm a dog person 👍
