    Exactly what I finally killed after 7 years with very little care and exactly what I have replaced them with 👍

    Victorian Golden Triangle Winter 2023

    Hi Les. Miners Den in Bendigo and Coiltek in Maryborough. What machine are you using? What sort of areas were you targeting last year - old mines? Virgin ground? Old shallow workings? Were you finding lead shot and .22 bullets? A bit of background will help to give some better advice 👍🏻

    Maps

    Mmm, be interested to see if they are any good. At least if they aren't they are only $15-$20. Between GeoVic for Victoria and Geoview/Tengraph for W.A. and then Trilobite for using out in the field I can't imagine that these maps provide much more. With the generally very detailed reef...

    Maps

    Do you mean what type of a program might have created it? If it was Victoria I would have guessed maybe GeoVic if someone had pressed the "show in Google earth" button. Not sure what state gov geo/minerals site you have in Queensland I'm sure it isn't Trilobite as I have never seen the...

    ⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

    A couple of short sessions in the last few months. Almost cool enough to really go wandering. 2 outings in Bendigo and 2 around home. All small although the 3.75 gm piece was a welcome surprise. Wouldn’t have moved more than 25 metres at either location. Today hardly moved more than 5...

    Gold in quartz??

    Lunarocks - 2nd last picture I thought "maybe, possibly". Last picture I thought "definitely not". But I'm no geo. Scratch it to start with I think, like others have suggested. Also as others have suggested, please don't try to sell it as 'quartz with gold' until it is 100% verified as...

    Said Hanrahan by John O'Brien

    Love it. It’s always ‘too’ something. Too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, rates too high, rates too low, crops too light, crops too heavy. Grew up on a farm, cousin still on it and father in law is a farmer near my home now. When asked how the farm is going the father in law generally...

    Garrett Axiom in North Queensland

    I am guessing the secret squirrel stuff is about the 'where' it was purchased from and the price. But I'm only guessing. They are on the spesh here - http://www.toys-things.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=39&products_id=1130 A P.A. site sponsor too.

    Need a feed back. Which one - Equinox or Legend?.

    This is an interesting comment "The Legend, Deus 2 and Equinox 900 although flawed in various ways, really are that much better than the Equinox 800 for shallow target separation and unmasking from hunting ferrous and non ferrous trashed parks and fresh water beaches in my area." From here...

    Need a feed back. Which one - Equinox or Legend?.

    Morning junkdog, I have only used an Equinox 800 so can't really comment. However, plenty of people have used both and done comparisons. If you look on Detector Prospector and search the tag 'Legend' you'll get a lot of hits. A couple of results are below. It really sounds like you...

    Today I BOUGHT

    Between and button whistle and one of these things below (used to be called a "predator call') they have accounted for many a fox and a few wild dogs over the years. Foxes will come from up to 1 km away for the big caller - very loud. Stand still and they will come within a few feet of you...

    Broken Coils 800

    It's pretty bloody crap isn't it. The price they are charging for things and then the high mortality rate is getting out of control. Spitting out truckloads of cheaply made units for huge prices and then just replace things as they break - surely that can't be an intended, purposeful business...

    Does anyone in Victoria or Southern NSW have an Axiom?

    Yes, definitely seems quiet. A fella in WA documented his Axiom purchase here https://www.detectorprospector.com/forums/topic/21131-issue-with-axiom-and-ground-noise/ Ended up that the unit died and had to be replaced. He has been really happy with it though when it has been working...

    Garrett Axiom issue & video

    A fella in WA documented his Axiom purchase here https://www.detectorprospector.com/forums/topic/21131-issue-with-axiom-and-ground-noise/ Ended up that the unit died and had to be replaced. He has been really happy with it though when it has been working properly. He also updates that there...

    Whinge of the day thread...

    Jeez, I'm really surprised about that. Was it a younger salesperson you were dealing with? I've never heard an Australian refer to caravanning as 'trailering' or a caravan park as a 'trailer park'. And I hope I never do! I don't mind some Americanisms or customs but yes, a caravan will...

    Land features and insect bites Castlemaine Vic

    Yep, probably a paper wasp. Do you mean small drains/channels around the sides of hills? Usually to collect water and deliver to a point where they washed/processed the gravels. Might be wrong, someone please correct me if I am ;)
