I can't see me walking naked through the bush as my undies don't have any metal in them, but I'll have to remove the prince Albert 😂 I'm very conscious of any metal on me I wear "Oliver" non-metallic boots (zero metal) and snake gaiters are non-metallic as are the knee pads. Sure zip on...

Rivets & detecting don't go together for me, I'd be digging out my knees looking for the targets

Equinox 800 "gold fields" have a nice walk! Got one tried it, threw it back in the car shaking my head on how Minelab has the nerve to sell it as a gold machine. Previously owned GPX 5000 and currently GPZ7000 (since 2015) It's (800) awesome in parks and beaches though. Never been to a park &...

I just use the grey cloth tape from bunnings, been using it for for years will from now on too. Wrap around at least 2 times for a bit of cushioning from rocks. When replacing clean any glue residue with wd40 (almost wipes off) The tape is twice as wide as you need so cut it deep with a box...

Nugget Finder make heavy duty skid plates for both the 6000 including the 17" and the 7000 14" 19" and Nugget finder Z Search 12" From my experience most detector shops don't have them in stock. I just bought the last 2 x Z Search ($34ea) from Outback Prospecting in Clermont, so give Freida a...

On my way up to Georgetown/Forsythe now probably be there prospecting until September. Usually catch up with the club at their monthly outings so I'll see you at one - no doubt. Cheers

Did you notice night jar posted this on Aug 15th 2021? If night jar hasn't sorted this by now he's never going to!

Get the biggest fattest round earth magnet you can find to attach to the blade side near the handle (don't have any metal on your pick holder). Every time your pick hits the ground the degree of magnetism dissipates, it'll take a long time but eventually the magnet will become weak enough to...

Why not join the Townsville metal Detecting club? Monthly week away outings usually around Georgetown area

Yes, well they're just the essentials, everybody needs those! My first mobile brick (phone) cost $1250 in 1990 was about 1/10th as good as a $50 prepaid today and the computer was a bargain @ $3,000 had a 133meg processor and a 500mb hard drive cutting edge stuff.. About as quick as a sloth on...

Oh WTF! I just don't get why so many people are freeking out about mortgage rates, you can't expect to be getting virtually free money forever! Wind the clock back to 1990 when my mortgage was 16.5% ($2,200pcm repayment) and my $45,0000 car loan was 19.5% (1,290pcm) Figure out your repayments...

Of course he was a prospector, how else would he have had diamonds on the souls of his shoes? 🤣

I won’t be digging a hole for the multi millionaire, sounds like hard work to me (old timers have left plenty around the place). I wonder how his Lamborghini will fair pulling his off Rd caravan on unsealed roads? I've a actually stopped in Clermont for a few days to get into the "swing" of it...

OK as you're a multi millionaire & you don't have to work so you have plenty of time available & cash isn't a problem, I'll assume (because you won't answer the question) you are running a GPZ7000 and have also probably just bought a GPX6000 and they'll prove to be basic tools that you need. If...

DD is great under power lines, these settings are a bit strange but under big power lines it WORKS & runs very quiet DD coil Run in MONO Swich ON CANCEL INVERT the signal RX gain as high as possible You'll lose plenty of depth but you'll be where most can't get their head around it. So yes...

You don't catch me out, I always check hollow tree trunks to see if you've been there with your horse shoes, beer cans and all the other junk you throw in there. I always wondered 😳 who it was, now we all know! 🤣

Mine have "Knee On Australia" on the badge but they're the same just re-badged Cheers

Yes they're the ones

Ever been around a tree got a target then as you dig you start to suspect ground noise but it sounds too good & ground balancing doesn't seem to work? It can end up being a root! (GPZ 7000 are good rooters (not necessarily talking about the owner - but in my case🤣)) My fix for this scenario is...
