Even if he did use ID as discrim at that level it could only work if the shot size was consistent to get a constant shot ID and if the nuggets all IDed different enough. If the shot size varies ( the usual) and the gold size and shape varies ( always) then the using ID as discrim for shot...

It really depends on how much you love your Forester. If it is a show pony then it wont be by the time you get back. Not saying it will be trashed but whilst Whites Road to Palmerville Gold is a public road and the Forester will manage it ok, once you are there then it will be quite...

Your local hardware store or ebay/amazon will have a " permanent paint pen" in the colour of your choosing , white, silver gold,red, green....

A pleasant unexpected surprise in the mail today from Algoforce - the new version of their USB powerpack holder. The front lip is 5.5mm high vs 2.5mm for the old one & the original straps now have no problem holding my rounded edge powerpack firmly in place. Kudos to Algoforce for their...

But dont forget that to apply for an 40E you need to drive back out & go to the "local"mining registrar or at least find somewhere with an internet signal and that after you apply that you still cannot access that land for 21 Days. This is to allow the leaseholder the opportunity to assess &...

Not sure if you have seen these . Geotech one has a pdf schematic https://metaldetectingforum.com/index.php?threads/garrett-groundhog-ads-no-sound.10053/ https://www.geotech1.com/forums/forum/technology/tech-forum/6992-garrett-a-d-s-vlf-tr-deepseeker-with-bad-sound-output Its been too long...

It is a pity the Algoforce AF1500 is currently sold sans coil ( and is sold out :) ). If a newbie didnt have to worry about buying a coil separately ( no biggie for experienced detectorists but a bridge too far for your 1st detector) then it would be easy to recommend it as it is no harder to...

And it now gets worse with Google "admitting" that its top search results are now often AI generated spam so it is even harder to tell them from real sites - both for people and for google search...

For me it is 70% GK24 30% GK19. GK24 for reasonably trashy spots and the GK19 for the super trashy spots & rocky creeks. That ratio doesnt do justice to the GK19 though -it is a great coil. Being a DD the GK19 (7.5 x 4) has each winding only 2.5" wide !! That really concentrates the...

I LOVE how quiet my GKruzer is compared with my EQ800, especially in mineralised ground. OK it is not PI quiet but it aint bad. Also v happy with depth on GKruzer but with comparable size coil the EQ800 has noticeably more depth when the ground is better.

Dunno Chets coin but most 1 oz gold coins are ~33mm dia ( ZA Krugerrand, AU Roo, US Eagle). AUD 50C is 32mm AF & 75% Cu so reasonably comparable target. Chet got 17in (425mm) for 11"ML coil & 14in (350mm) for 14"DD ML coil in air for 1oz coin I got +550mm ( 11" ML coil) & ~450mm for...

Regarding Clermont, The caravan park in town, the Theresa Ck Dam caravan park and ML1870 are the only legal places to camp. Blackridge GPA is a very grey area - It used to be ok for very short stay but I think it is now illegal but not policed. Theresa Ck Dam is very nice but too far...

Lake Fred at Mt Hogan is a lovely place to camp and Karon is very helpful but you will need to bring EVERYTHING including drinking water & toilet. It used to be a popular place for the CQ Detecting Club (Rockhampton) annual outing but I think that lack of amenities and the usual reduction...

I have a Gold Kruzer and have used a GM1000. With the 7.5x4.5DD coil the Gold Kruzer will find anything that a GM will and it handles mineralisation better. It is also more adjustable so as you get more experience it grows with you. GM is set and forget which is nice at times but frustrating...

on the subject of weight, i have a 10ahr powerpack the size of a mobile phone and is 220g. My 20ahr pack is closer to 500g so unless you REALLY need the extra hours then thta is a whopping 300g saving

Yes, it is a very minor issue and I sorted mine with a bit of double sided velcro sticky tape. Alex ( Algoforce director) advised me they are already onto it and will sort it. Cant ask more than that !

I think it is to hold the powerpack securely back since the velcro straps can let it slip forward over the retaining lip if not super tight

I get a full 1 litre/100km improvement by going from 30 to 40psi in the Prado but you def notice the bumps more and def need to drop to 25psi when you hit real dirt or you will rattle your car to bits
