    Knee Pads

    I bought a new set a couple of months ago from bunnings. Used them for the first time today. They are the best for sure! Go into a store and ask, they definitely sell them.

    Diving in the deep end

    Just thought I'd point out that matti69 that started this topic hasn't commented on any of the efforts people have put in for them since February 25th! We're just talking amongst ourselves, maybe they decided they were making a life changing bad decision & have gone to lick their wounds and save...

    Aftermarket Coils for the GPX 6000 - Nugget Finder

    I. I spoke with Rohan as the 12" was being rolled OUT, the other coil he was working on was a 17" which still required more testing. I asked him about a smaller coil like a 10" for those small rocky creeks and high scrub areas where a larger coil effectively stops you being able to cover the...

    GPZ Batteries 1 V 2

    NiMH pretty old technology these days they don't have anywhere near the charge cycles of Lithium. NiMH don't appreciate being left flat for long periods of time - they die! At least they don't retain a memory like those awful NiCad that they took over from. The Minelab Lithium (like most these...

    Diving in the deep end

    I've read this whole thread and you have been getting some good advise from people who know just how hard it is to actually find GOLD! one comment was you'd be lucky to fund your beer, I think that's over estimating your likely success and would reduce that to milk money. Getting a Minelab GPX...

    Appropriate equipment for task

    I hope you find it I love a good treasure hunt & you're right it'll be an awesome trip. Gpz 7000 will do the job I recon' take the 19" coil too just in case it's too deep for the 14 (10kg 14" should be enough) cheers!

    Nugget finder or coiltek

    Rohan from NF is so customer focused, if there's the slightest concern or warranty issue, he'll be there to help and will be resolved in days not weeks. A Coiltek coil would have to yield outstanding results to swing me away from a top quality product & the unbelievable customer service that...

    GPX6000 Faults/Issues

    You forgot to thank Minelab for their outstanding quality control at factory level that gave you the problem in the first place, have to give them credit where it's due!

    GPZ Batteries 1 V 2

    I've been running the Zd's since they came out 2015. When my first one was 5 years old I could go out from sun up to sundown, switch off during breaks and only once at the end of the day did the battery go flat. Nice to have a spare just in case but you'll probably never need it, as long as you...

    Solar panel suppliers

    I've been on the rd for over 10 years now and I've come to the conclusion that EVERYONE selling Lithium Batteries and SOLAR PANELS are LIARS so buy bigger and more powerful than you actually need to get what you really want!

    Dont die in the Outback

    I agree it's handy to have but there's many more people around compared to WA. For me detecting places like Forsythe, Georgetown & Clermont a 2 way can work & there's usually a well used track within a few km (not much good to you lying there with a broken leg, I know) I do carry a PLB in case...

    Dont die in the Outback

    I haven't used my sat phone since I have been on the east coast (years now) I didn't have a phone plan as I only wanted it for emergencies so I had a pre paid voucher that had 12 months to activate (via satellite) and would give 30 mins of call time & 1 month to use credit once activated, peace...

    Detector Purchase Advice - Beach and relic

    Zero discrimination or control on the Z it finds everything (one reason it's useless in parks and beaches) smallest Nugget so far is 0.06g it's one thing hearing things like that but another altogether finding it in the pile of diggings! Dig every target and you'll get all the gold that's there...

    If you don't take it with you, you can't pop down to the shop and buy it whilst you're dying.
