    Howdy

    With you on this one, last winter in Forsythe an un-experienced prospector was using an Equinox 800 for several weeks for ZERO gold so he went home to Cairns to buy an Sdc2300 unfortunately in Cairns he bumped into a Garrett rep who convinced him to buy an ATX because it was "far superior to the...

    Detector Purchase Advice - Beach and relic

    I own a GPZ7000 & an Equinox 800 the 7000 would be absolute rubbish in parks and beaches due to no discrimination & power lines so the most expensive can be amongst the worst. I wouldn't bother with any machine that didn't have some discrimination for parks and beaches & that definitely...

    Knee Pads

    Yup I tried those, they are probably the best of the not so good ones. I cut the top strap off completely, the padding squashes and had to glue more padding over the top. Cyclone I give a 5/10 Knee on I give a 9/10 would have given a 10/10 bar the stitching pulls after a while, but a dab of...

Took a few days to talk myself into it as it was a long way down and Very steep, was concerned how I would get back to the top, eventually I threw caution to the wind & was Hanging onto branches so I didn't fall whilst detecting...

    Knee Pads

    I've used many the very best for detecting so far are "knee on" brand bought from Bunnings. They are made from a blue neoprene material (wetsuit) with hard black knee protection. The neoprene strap is at the bottom so there is no top strap that creates a lot of discomfort after several hours...

    Come on mate, no one has all the answers not even me. But some have more answers than others. Once you use a touchscreen GPS you'll never stand there for 5 mins clicking 1 letter at a time (after scrolling up and down and across several times just to spell one word) again or clicking to the...

    Garmin Montana 700/750i and inReach Range

    No sorry mine is the 680t Never the less the software issues will be there they were in the 450 and never fixed for the 680t Check the past tracks on that unit and see if you can search for tracks by date, if not then the leopard hasn't changed its spots. Garmin should easily be able to offer...

    Garmin Montana 700/750i and inReach Range

    I've owned the Montana 750i for years The software absolutely sucks I sent them an email once outlining serious flaws and in true American form they did nothing. Example : everytime you use it the track is archived whilst that shouldn't be a problem because it will hold 10,000 of them. The...
