    AlgoForce E1500 - NEW PI DETECTOR FROM EX MINELAB ENGINEER

    I was watching a guy on YouTube swinging the E1500. He was using the target ID to avoid the bird shot. Have you noticed the ID difference between lead and gold of a similar size?

    Boots for Prospecting, Hiking, Detecting information and questions

    After my Keens came apart at the seams I replaced them with another pair that let me down badly. Again they came apart at the seams so I went to Perth in search of something better. I wanted light weight boots because I'm light weight and get tired feet after scrambling over a few kilometres of...

    Whinge of the day thread...

    I haven't seen rain for months. This afternoon I was all strapped in ready to fly until I asked for clearance to start. The reply was a warning of a severe thunder storm approaching from the NW. I'm quite sure it only happened because I've just paid for four days hire on a 10'x6' cage trailer...

    Bone conduction headphones with APTX codec

    They look really good but I prefer to drown out some of the ground noise between the coil and the stones however for that price they should to be good value.

    Diving in the deep end

    OldRick, at 51 you are certainly not old but I wish I'd have made the move to the goldfields 20 years ago. We did as you're suggesting and sold our house in suburbia and bought one on the goldfields for less than a third of the price. We divorced the banks after looking after them for more than...

    GPX6000 Faults/Issues

    HaHa. Michael the GPX6000 would have to be one of the most unreliable machines to have ever been produced and survived in any market. Perhaps the only reason in has continued to be sold is that it is one of the best performing gold detectors and Minelab are quick to respond to the many, I guess...

    GPX6000 Faults/Issues

    Deano, My doctor recommended the Avantree Tours speakers and I found them very good however you still have to contend with the noise generated by the hollow coil if you work the coil right on the ground. Another member here introduced me to the Avantree Me noise cancelling earphones and that's...

    Hunting around in the hills behind Cairns

    I've been reading River of Gold tells the story of the Palmer River gold rush, during which Cooktown grew to a 94-pub town with a hundred tons of gold recovered in 10 years. Of course with hundred tons of gold taken in those first 10 years and surely more than that since it might be getting a...

    I'm excited !! (+ WA prospecting queries)

    You SDC2300 is a good choice to find your first piece however it's not the best for exploring new areas. Your best chance of finding gold is to go where others have found gold in the past. Using Trilobite download gold locations, preferably Scrape & Detect or Dryblowing areas. These areas are...

    Welcome to the forum Razza. Tip no 2. Sofala may be a beautiful area so go out and enjoy it. The enjoyment is in the adventure, you don't have to find much to have a very successful trip.

    DIY 3 tray dry blower

    Yes I realise those are HD engine mounts however they are designed to insulate engine vibration while preventing excessive engine movement. I think you'll find that they will keep your screen nicely steady when you really want it vibrating madly ;) but as you say, you'll never know until you...

    Some nice Species

    I hope that's gold. It's a bit hard to tell from the photos. Have you tried a specific gravity test on the best looking pieces?

    DIY 3 tray dry blower

    Nice work but I'm a bit concerned about that rubber insulator. I started out with my screen sitting on very flexible rubber mounts about 90mm high. I changed them later and inserted coil springs, same as under a trailer camper. It improved the free movement of the shaker screen allowing it to...
