    Coiltek Camo 14"Ceases To Work

    I'd say the first thing you should do is try a different coil on the detector. The fault could be somewhere else. Next if that doesn't work Id give it back to Coiltek to fix. They are very good to deal with.

    Unbelievable Facts

    I'm trying to get my pilots license. To go anywhere beyond Cue I will have to get my cross-country endorsement that includes navigation without the fancy EFB's (electronic flight bags}. We used to navigate by map long before GPS came about so I don't think it'll be too difficult but we have to...

    WANTED 19" nugget finder evolution coil - open

    I have one that is rarely used. I bought it for a particular gully that I'd previously pulled a few decent ones out of but it didn't find any more. It's the only bit of my prospecting equipment that has never paid for its self. It still has the original skid plate in good condition and I have a...

    Whinge of the day thread...

    This sounds like a great opportunity for the scammers to get your bank details. I have an account with a very small amount of money in it that I use for this type of transaction. If I get scammed expecting a refund hopefully they won't get much.

    Today I BOUGHT

    Yes you can't complain about the prices but I haven't bought much since they brought in the minimum purchase total. I've been buying of Aliexpress for a better deal.

    Homemade skid plates

    It will work as long as you can connect the intake side of the compressor to the tank and with the exhaust side open.

    Help needed - lost earring, Albury (NSW)

    I would have happily taken a look but I passed through there on Sunday morning. I'm in Norseman WA now so I little too far back for now.

    G'day, Newbie from Cairns.

    I'd be very careful around sport fields. Imagine the damage that could be done to anybody attempting a swift mauver and stepping into freshly disturbed soil. They could sustain a serious injury that can effect them throughout their lifetime.

    Homemade skid plates

    wiley, it's a very simple process of removing the aircompressor output pipe from the compressor itself. Remove the aircleaner and using plumbing that will not suck flat, eg; copper pipe, connect this suction port to the aircompressor tank. You will only pull one atmosphere but that is sufficient...

    Homemade skid plates

    I was setting up to make them but then I bought the GPX6000 and those original skidplates are nearly bulletproof so I gave up on making them.

    Homemade skid plates

    If you're serious about making skid plates then I suggest you setup for vacuum forming. You need an oven with sufficient size to house the sheet you intend to use which is quite small for the average skidplate. Then setup our vacuum. This can be done using an air compressor by changing the...

    How can I get phone service in outback WA

    I believe it can be successfully operated on one of those little power packs that you buy to charge your phone. I've just have it plugged into the 240v from the inverter but I will setup a 24v cable for it because there no point in converting 24v to 240v and then back again. I'm on it now...

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    We only ever had Solahart on a couple of houses and it lasted for many years without maintenance. I guess your water quality has a lot to do with it's life expectancy. Now we only have an electric storage hot water system that we turn on 20min before a shower in the winter. The rest of the year...

    How can I get phone service in outback WA

    I've just bought the Starlink Mini. It seems to work very well just pointing at the sky, I haven't even tried to align it with the satellites but it's not cheap. The hardware is $799 but I got it in Narellan JB HiFi for $740 and then it's $80 a month if you login during that month.

    Newbie in North WA

    The Marble Bar common is always good for a nugget or two. A mate of mine picked up a 400g+ piece there two years back and then he found two more decent sized ones nearby.

    Newbie in North WA

    Halls Creek is well worth stopping for a while. Ask for directions to the old post office, a mud brick building. The building up the hill from it is a caravan park of sorts. Accommodation there is cheap and they offer you to detect on the property. It has had a lot of gold in the past but if you...

    What are YOU doing right NOW

    Do you have solar panels? That might be the source of the power leakage. I can tell you that one chomp on a 240V cable in a dark roof space can blow the jaws out of a perfectly good pair of side cutters and it can take a while for spots in your eyes to disappear o_O
