Thanks Phil, i'm very happy to have them in my grasp that's for sure. That's a beautiful collection you have there Paul, very impressive. :o I'm even more eager to get out there now. Unless i come across a nice little patch it'll take me quite some time to get anywhere near what you have there...

Thx Big Wave & Wombat. I've had daydreams just like that lol. Hope to add to this thread in the future. I'm heading to the same spot in a couple of weeks, with a bit of luck i'll have more pics to post. Happy new year to all!

Cheers! :)

Thanks heaps for the advice and encouragement, i'll definitely be heading back to the same place and playing with the settings. I'm more than happy with just getting out there, enjoying the bush and having a bit of solitude. Any finds no matter how small are a big bonus for me. If i do happen to...

Cheers Kemjak. I think i got a bit lucky with these bits, i spent a few hours detecting over old diggings and some detector holes i'd found and didn't have any luck with those. Stopped for a bite to eat and on the way back to the car i pinged the first bit while walking along the track. Lunch...

Great info, thanks loamer.

Hi Summit, I had been looking at the Gold Racer, it looks like a nice detector, i'm guessing the digital display would be perfect for a newbie like me. It's good to read about your experience with it so thanks a lot for your reply. Ideally i would prefer a new unit for the warranty but i may...

Hey Patrick, Thanks for replying, i've read some mixed reviews about modded machines, some say that they are fantastic and others say that there could be future issues with servicing, repair and maybe even resale. I'm sure it's an awesome detector but i'm wondering if, for my first machine, it...

Hi Mick, Is this still for sale? Cheers.

Cheers for the good advice, a couple more months of searching and saving and i should be good to go... :)

Hi to all at PA, After looking through a whole bunch of threads here and researching for a good budget detector for nugget hunting, i think i have a couple in mind. I'm hoping to get up to the Vic goldfields as much as possible (I'm in western suburbs, Melb) and out to Bright, Wandi and...
