Never had much of an issue swinging the detector with a bad back (old recurring disc/ligament injury in the lower lumbar), though I've certainly done damage and have been put on my back for several days as a result of digging deeper holes repeatedly. I haven't really found much of a solution for...

Best of luck SR! As far as SDC advice, just see how it's running at the time with any external interference etc. If it's running smoothly, you can take it up to 4, and if there's too much background chirping drop back to 2. Are you running headphones, a wireless setup or just a speaker? They...

103gm is still a very nice day swinging by anyones standards! Good on him. Very nice looking solid nuggets to boot. :Y: Regards, Shauno.

It's a very sad and sorry situation when these things happen -particularly given how many safety courses are run these days, but it goes to show you simply cannot beat experience in these matters. It's always been a wonder to me why the courses aren't done in practical manner by someone like...

Hi all, Dam it has it correct by the looks. It's 37.899gm. That's an easy tell just by the lump in his hand, possibly around 15 or 16gm something like that. I have a round-ish shaped 30gm speccie here that looks about twice the size of the one pictured when it's sitting in my hand. I'd...

The Mosasaur Jaw plates definitely look a tad fishy -sorry for the unintended pun. :lol: I've seen fossil casts done in a similar vein, but nothing as cleanly consistent as that as far as real fossil specimens go, only the teeth (as goldierocks posted) or a nice jawbone structure here and...

Great nuggets and super interesting video, Tryhard! I had a good old laugh when you told Jack he wasn't a bad luck dog anymore though! :lol: Amazing how Normal romps those targets in. In the right ground it's unbeatable for target response. If you have anything more than mild country or...

G'day Foal, Yep definitely a common issue with the Zed's. Had this exact problem in the wet -and by wet I mean saturated with water flowing through the diggings- a couple years back for weeks on end. After trying several suggestions and ground/timing combo's from the well versed members here, I...

That sounds interesting. Very much looking forward to seeing what they can do for the Zed in those regards. Cheers.

Speedy recovery, Pat! You got the best possible outcome from that type of incident by the sounds if it. All the best, Shauno.

Hi Gem, No doubt a timely escape if it hit close by, luckily for you blokes! Still would've grabbed a lotto ticket. Haha! What you experienced there was the atmospheric charging (strong static build-up) taking place and I would assume highly amplified by all the metal structures around you...

Not quite correct MT. Let me shine a little light (pardon the pun :playful: ) on a subject I know very well. The sky/storm will never change colour to warn of lightning. Lightning works off ice and hail charging the upper atmospheric parts of the storm during thermal convective lifting inside...

Yep! Been doing it professionally for over fifteen years now. Always love seeing the footage -not to mention those top reactions! :lol: We had a similar storm setup here in the Ridge late last Thursday afternoon. A strong outflow dominant storm kicked up an almost identical dust front prior...

Very nice nug Bjay! Bet that put a smile on your face. Beauty! :Y:

Great to hear NE! Hope it all goes as smoothly as possible for you. Sing out any time you want this thread resolved. :Y:

Have a look at isolating headphones also if the NC ones are too much of an issue. I exclusively use pro audio/studio isolating Sennheisers on all my detectors and they work a treat (simply after trying them as an experiment many years ago), but as Reg mentioned above the Summer temps can and...

Short answer is yes. It comes down to all those intrusive outside noise factors (wind, leaves/sticks under foot, coil scraping etc. etc.) that using something like good quality isolating headphones will almost completely eliminate. Detectors like the SDC for example can give such subtle signal...

What a ripper nug, Mark! I certainly caught it in the recent AG&T mag. Top effort that! It's quite the stunner. :perfect:

Merry Christmas all! Stay safe on the roads if traveling over the holidays. :Y:
