Thanks Bob, I appreciate that 🙏 Likely already sold, being confirmed this evening 👍

The fire sale continues!! GPX 6000. Just out of warranty. Bit of a story to it but gives you a good background. Has worked perfectly for 3 years. Audio update was done last year. Only annoyances for me were fine cracks in the coil ears and one of the batteries was not lasting as long as it...

I think I can correct myself :) Just Thuraya. Apparently Pivotel look after multiple satellite systems. And from Hippy's article it also seems like ag equipment is directly guided from the sky. https://www.pivotel.com.au/knowledge-base/outages/current-outages.html

Mmm, it does seem strange. My cousin has the 2cm guidance stuff on our old farm and they calibrate the exact position of 3 base stations and then everything works off them - not working live off an actual satellite in the sky. I assumed that is how all 2cm guidance stuff worked on farms as I...

GP 3500 The last of the analog machines and the only model of the GP series with the ground balance button. In good condition. Purchased from Nenad at Phasetech last year. Includes control box, shaft, DD coil, Coiltek battery management and regulator kit which means you are not tethered to a...

Having a bit of a fire sale of a few things! There is 32 grams gold all up plus a specimen piece. Most is from WA although bigger bit is from Bendigo. There are some very small bits of WA red dirt in some pieces but essentially buggar all weight wise. Has just spent 48 hours in acid...

Bump - listing amended to just the coil.

Thanks Bjay. Yes, I didn’t know about it last night and the skies were clear, damn it all!! Haven’t seen anything here yet either.

Evening all. Sitting out at what I hope is a good vantage point, hoping for a light show. Shaker and Bjay, when the lights start do they happen all of a sudden or does it slowly build over 30 minutes or ????

Absolutely f.$7ing magnificent Shaker. I don’t actually have a lot on my bucket list but the southern and northern lights are definitely on there! Congrats 🍻

Sorry for my tardy responses. Thanks SS. I have leccy taped the big Minelab battery to the side of the DD cover to give it a try 🤣 It is heavy and makes the detector want to tilt to the R) but I will give it a go this week and see how I fare. Have altered the harness a little to try and...

Thanks SS. That is certainly the cheapest option as I already have 2 X of the lithium batteries for the 5000. Yes, the weight would be my main concern too. Certainly a good harness makes a difference and I already use a guide stick - they are imperative I think. I even use it on the 6000...

Thanks IB. I’m thinking very similar to the Coiltek setup that I have for the GP3500? Fairly compact and with the little pack it just hangs off the side. But, it is 470 gm and they are only 6600 mAh. Any idea what weight yours is? Having nearly half a kilo hanging off the side - it all...

Road reports. https://www.leonora.wa.gov.au/roadreport/ https://www.sandstone.wa.gov.au/roadreport/

Hi Ethan. I was in Leinster, Leonora, Laverton in the past couple of weeks. Pretty much all roads are open now but some with a ‘caution’ attached. A few salt lakes are chockers with water but the roads we travelled were generally good, some are excellent. Remember 40E’s, or only...

The good old search function has brought me to this thread, which has been interesting. I've been lucky enough to recently receive a modded 5000 (modded by Mick at Detectronics) and a really good range of coils. Likely to sell the 6000 in the near future. Looking to set up a battery system...

Got the moss and the grapes around the wrong way 🤪

This sort of thing esros?

Terrible news 😞 RIP Wal. Condolences to you Liz 💐

I know what you mean. I grew up on a sheep farm and had roast lamb, minced lamb, braised lamb, crumbed lamb, lamb curry, lamb chops, lambs fry 🤣 By the time I went to Uni I couldn’t stand it. But, now it would have to be my favourite, especially roast shanks. Love lambs fry and love mum’s...
