Spent 5 days in Clermont with both the 12x7 and 14 x9. Ran both coils on sensitivity 2. Both good coils found 33 bits in total all small, found most with the gold hawk and got plenty where the 2300’s had been over. I prefer the 14x9 super sensitive and quiet whereas the 12x7 does give off...

Thanks mate much appreciated better than I thought for sure.

Heading away soon and hiring another 6000 for wifey along with mine, so my question is how close can we detect together. Can we aim them towards each other and noise cancel? Or is it more suitable to stay a long distance apart? Thanks for any advice!

I’ve had a few sessions with mine it’s a good shape . Definately a bit quieter than the stock coil overall but it does seem to give a few false signals when i scrape it or bump bits of grass, rocks etc. I just received the 14 x 9 and will be taking both to Clermont in a month so hopefully find...

I just received the 14 x 9 and will be taking both (NF 12x7 also) to Clermont in a month so hopefully find a few bits and compare the two. Cheers.

Last time I was there it said the same thing. The access to the gpa is ten metres past the cattle grid I just drove straight through no dramas at all openened the gate and went in. Plenty of times lately Carbean rd has been blocked at the highway and a detour is in place. Just keep heading down...

We get standard issue Oliver metal free for work. They are my favourite but I only got 4 months wear and the zipper snapped in half so couldn’t use it anymore. My other workmate had the same happen, broken plastic zipper so that’s 2 pairs I know of both around 4 month mark. We wear them 10 hrs a...

Well done what a nice piece, goes to show the need to dig every signal despite the insanity of trash pieces!

Plenty of brands available out there I use Oliver At, metal free. Good discussions as above. Cheers

Tiny piece today gave it it a good crack was pretty quiet Found this speck in a fresh detector hole in the waste pile didn’t even use my pick! Wind was ferocious

That’s me exactly!

I buy Oliver AT’s metal free lace ups. High ankle support and lightweight, comfy and strong. I use them for work and for detecting it was only through work I found out they are metal free, even though there’s a label On the boots stating so! Cheers

A tiny Warwick piece yesday arv. Ground was wet and dug plenty of ground noise targets with the 6. It’s so temperamental in soggy ground I’ve a lot to learn!

Heres my last 2 chooks on the left and our Guinea pig on the right! We get scrub pythons and carpets non stop eating everything, the biggest I’ve relocated was 3.1 m. Also saw my first taipan not long ago I was mowing the fence line and it was around 2 m away. I sat there with the mower on full...

Hi guys , yes I do search for any posts by you two they are extremely helpful, thanks to you both. I find it fascinating and try to look for suggestions or examples in the field. So many rock types to learn apart from the obvious. I’m in SE QLD by the way. Lots of new terms to Learn but...

So can you please recommend any basic gold related geology books to improve success in the field ? I’m very interested to learn more. Any knowledge to improve my chances would be most appreciated. I follow these type of posts with interest but need to start with the basics! New terminology and...

Hi guys just after any recommendations for metal free snake gators, about to buy a pair and happy to pay for quality. Any that are better than others that members can vouch for. A lot of the places I visit are in thick grass/scrub and with the recent death in the Lockyer valley it sort of sinks...

Tried one of the GPAs near Warwick this morning and after my third trip there finally found a tiny piece then it got way too hot.

You guys are probably already onto it but the app My Lightning tracker is free. Shows real time position and klms to nearest strike. We use it for work and you can zoom way out to 1000’s of klms. Just click on the closest dot(strike) to get distance and time. Cheers.

Your way experienced than me mate. Bit of luck I walked over it I just dig every signal gotta win once in a while. I’ve done 8 trips so far but I’m a persistent bugger lol. Cheers
