    Wilson brothers hand crank trommel

    I havent been able to find one similar in australia and have looked pretty hard. There is the ro engineering one but that is only motor driven and is over $2500 :o I have emailed the guy at wilson bros and he hasnt responded in over 3 months. Also he doesnt seem to answer his phone number, so...

    Voltax lifepo4 lithium battery

    Pretty cool setup. Camping is so much easier these days as with setups like this you can have pretty much any mod con you want. You will love the tranquility when you change over to a 12v pump too. I would suggest carrying an extra chinese cheapy as a backup in case your main pump fails.

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    I think the 6000 will be a good option to consider for someone buying their first detector for sure. They should also consider the 5000 and of course the qed at a third the price. For any current gpx owners i would be waiting for comparison testing to make sure you arent taking a step sideways...

    Voltax lifepo4 lithium battery

    The voltax ones are already 50% off :lol: haha. But yeah, i would imagine they will become cheaper as the technology has been around a while whilst the voltax prices dont make me feel like i am being raped too badly, i couldnt imagine paying the price of some of the established brands are asking...

    Help with xp deus remote button mod?

    Hi anton.If you are prefering not to stick them directly onto the buttons of the remote, the concept should work just as well if you just stick them on the plastic cover directly above the buttons.

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    One thing i can read on the box is "smart. All-gold detector" Is that refering to discrimination?

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    Just saw this on dp forum. That guy pulled the photo from facebook he reckons. Maybee a facebook user can locate the photo and capture a better res pic. Its just a bit too low to make out the features written on the box.

    A new QED model is on the way

    Thanks reg. Will look forward to hearing your assesment on both the new machine and the new software (especially new gb, and gb tracking). I probably wont update to pl4 hardware as i feel i have the best version for me in the whites straight handle model. It feels perfectly balanced to me with...

    Voltax lifepo4 lithium battery

    I will probably only need a 45l or maybee even smaller pack. Just big enough for the battery would be fine. Will check out careibee ones though as they sound durable enough :Y:

    A new QED model is on the way

    Voltax lifepo4 lithium battery

    3kg is good. Would be able to carry with a heap of other gear easily. Teminds me i need to get a backpack for mine. The backpack would need to be pretty wrll padded for my battery tho at 10kg (so it doesnt poke into my back). I know i will feel wierd about carrying it in its side (in the...

    Voltax lifepo4 lithium battery

    I have really only used it once so far leah. Its been sitting for months now as havent had much spare time. Its still holding 99% on the guage though. I cant fault the votax bateries ao far, but havent really used it as per normal as of yet to really test it out. If you go voltax i would advise...

    How to spot a fake Minelab GPX 5000

    Either sold prior or just deleted the ad to bump up for free. I didn't realise you could see prior sales on gumtree via web browser. Thats a feature i might use in future to checkup further on sellers/items before making a purchase. Thanks for the tip gs. :D

    How to spot a fake Minelab GPX 5000

    Theres a fake being sold on gumtree in monbulk for $150. Its advertised as a copy so nothing dodgey on the sellers part (much). https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/monbulk/miscellaneous-goods/metal-detector-copy/1264582019

    Voltax lifepo4 lithium battery

    Noice one. How many kg's is that one? You got the same battery charger as i have. Did you read you can power up to 8amp 12v devices straight from the charger? Is a cool little extra feature i quite like.

    Voltax lifepo4 lithium battery

    One feature i like about the 100ah is the built in voltage and power level display. I noticed the 50ah voltax doesnt have that feature. Is pretty handy to have when sluicing/highbanker, to guage how much longer till the battery runs out of power. Just one less thing to have to think about

    Voltax lifepo4 lithium battery

    Hi crumpy. The battery is holding up ok. Havent had a lot of chance to use it as intended. Have been keeping a good eye on it while sitting and its holding charge. Even though i havent used it a bunch yet i am still feeling fine with spending the extra $$ over and above an agm battery. Although...

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    I would expect some kind of pre sale info/advertising for the upcoming release maybee a month or so before the actual release date (from minelab directly as they did with the vanquish). I would guess this will be early to mid february. It would be nice to get this information even a few weeks...
