Silver surprises always leave you feeling good DJ. I've not found or seen your other two highlights before either.

 

[Eurekaman]

That's one awsome haul mate! Congrats

Dejan027, what part of Australia are you in?

 

[Dejan027]

Sydney mate.

Still lots of virgin ground out here

I think that there is less drtectorists here than anywhere else in Australia.

[Ramjet]

That's a great days hunting. Covering a lot of years.Nice work.

 

[silver]

I like the figurine as well as the rest.

 

[Dejan027]

I like the fact that it still has its paint.

Pretty heavy too.

 

[MrCornford]

Unreal!! This has convinced me a CTX is worth the investment!

 

[Goldpick]

Aaah, dreaming of a CTX one day! Maybe I should sell up and stick with the one detector, although good ground to detect makes all the difference as well.

 

[Dejan027]

Well the CTX carked it today. Turned it on and the screen stayed off. Detector still works but the screen and buttons don't. Tried restarting a dozen times and disconnected the battery and the both plugs. Still the same. Google seems to show that it's a common problem. Back to Minelab for repairs. Looks like the Aldi detector will be used for the next 6 weeks. Bloody hell!!!!!

 

[treasureman]

very nice hunt indeed. ESPECIALLY on the 1928 FLORIN, in considerably good condition.
very impressive metal detector the CTX 3030. i may have to save up and get one. impressive depth and i bet far ahead of the detector im using.
and your figurine. i think i have its friend.

 

[Goldtarget]

Hope they sort it, never heard of this before, I'm glad you've commented.

Bummer mate, 6 weeks for a repair seems a little excessive, I would not be happy at all. Is this what Minelab told you?
