    Minelab E-trac, Equinox thoughts

    e-Trac is a great machine be it a tad out dated... Plenty of machines out there and ALL have PROS and CONS. There is no one machine that does everything... You need to carefully consider what sort of hunting you are thinking of and also the Area/Ground where you might be wanting to hunt- only...

    Last day of work for 12 months - yay.

    Enjoy Mr Duck After leaving Health and lots of research and papers - it is some time hard to look back and see that some good work has been forgotten and or ignored. Yet when one sees the odd reference to outcomes (even if some people are not acknowledged) or new processes, one can still feel a...

    Gold Prospecting Starter

    Gympie = ummm not as hard as some places but the gold is mostly dust/aluvial. Yep some nuggets etc but you will need private permissions. 705 may pick up bigger stuff if shallow and not harsh ground conditions. Tested a NOX 800 and GM 1000 up that way and the 705 with the elliptical coil; 705...

    Minelab CTX3030 tips, settings, questions

    Have a chat to David (from the Open Range) and he may be able to put you into contact with Simon ( Brisbane Metal Detecting Club member) as he is local and uses his CTX out that way a fair bit if I recall. And remember every setting impacts on every thing... Some more than others. But the...

    Minelab CTX3030 tips, settings, questions

    Common... If your talking about the bottom section of the shaft. And if you fold the coil flat and the cable restraint bends over at a sharp angle ( of if already got a good bend in it) then that is where you will break the cable. Do not store flat and or with teh shafts fully extended. Why on...

    SDC2300 New Coil Question

    the SP01 has never made changes to the front end of a detector. The input to the SP01 is the Audio output of the detector. Thus unless a coil can change the audio output spectrum of the detector, then no issue. The SDC2300's audio spectrum is quite fixed and you usually only have the 2...

    SDC2300 aftermarket coil information and questions

    A simple 5min conversion. The end cover is removed and the lead is unscrewed. Rather than threading the new lead etc. You wrap and bring it up and reconnect. The kit includes a new style cover to facilitate the lead running externally rather than as per the orgional unit. I have to remove that...

    Risk Of Asbestos Exposure While Metal Detecting For Gold?

    As another poster said, plenty of other risks that are even higher on the list and more likely. Just driving to a site places you in 1001 other risky environments. Let alone all teh other manufactured crap and RFi one deals with every day... Every thing is out to kill you. So better off just...

    XTerra705 Worth Trying In The Goldfields?

    Lots of videos and info all over the net. Biggest laugh is that many are not Australia based and thus what they often promote does not work here... If you are going to watch any Gold type videos, make sure Australian Based and done by some one that has experience and or well known. If I was...

    Cyclones

    ROFLMFAO More like 100. There are car loads heading off as it is.. All chasing the pot. While I would love to head off and have a swing, the thought of doing battle with some local over a cut, does nothing for me... will wait a bit and hit any gutters in the water...

    Minelab X-terra 705 General Tips, Advice, Questions

    705 is a sweet machine, but in gold fields and or wet salty sand, you will need to make a few changes and Sensitivity and swing speed is critical.. Iron and hot rocks will play with your mind... Other than the SDC2300 very few machines are turn on and go and all machines behave differently...

    Possums and Passionfruit

    Possums destroy all our chillies/caps/peppers etc They strip the plant of every leaf. Parsley and lots if other green herbs get smashed. Egg plant and pineapple and Alovera are about the only things here they do not eat.

    Possums and Passionfruit

    Home grown is always best... HATE possums in the city, Brushtails in particular. Few people have trees that can sustain them, so they buggers hunt in packs and destroy any attempt at veggies and flowers around here. Need a big DOG that will stay in the yard and never need looking after :-)...

    Native Australian Bees

    Dunning Kruger lol You do not know, what you do not know. And once aware, you will spot them in many places. The Blue Banded ones etc do not make honey etc as they are solitary. But the are one of the best pollinators. It is via them that science worked out the best way for mass pollination...
