Kirkn what side of Maryborough did you go?

 

[kirkn]

it was below Tullaroop rd to the right. went to Amherst today and found buttons , wire and tiny bits of metal. seems to be a good detector but no gold. been a year and still havnt got my first. does anybody still detect the heaps ? or do u guys look for new ground?

Hey Kirkn, when at Amherst where did you go? I've had a swing along Blacksmith gully Rd, [both sides, but didn't get anything either] down by the main rd, but not off the beaten track. I'm hoping to get over there in a couple of months for a while to see if I can finally crack my duck.

G'Day! Stalker,

I have had my ATX Deep Seeker for a few months now.
have found lots of junk i.e.
Shotty pellets, Ally Cans, bolts etc etc
basicly still learning to speek ATX ..
As i am FIFO I only get to play with it once a month..
It will be out of warenty before I am fluent with ATX.
As for the batterys i am still using the throw aways havent given the other batterys a first charge yet
Am I happy with it... Yes Though I will be even happer when I walk over a bit of Gold with the ATX.lol

Cheers
Jim

My dad hasn't let his go since he picked it up 11 days ago, I think he sleeps with it.. its disturbing..

Ha ha LT my atx is at arms reach next to my couch I'm contemplating on a battery mod using 3.7v lithium rechargeable with a voltage limiter to 1.5v that way I get 20+ hours use and retain the 3000mAh from one charge . . How's the kidneys today ..

 

[Joshwasere]

Still loving the ATX! Getting buff though! but its worth it!

Had my ATX since just before Christmas 2013. The rechargables that came with my ATX are still cranking along and I am having loads of fun with it. Those of you who know SA know that the Copper Triangle [I wish it was the Golden one] is a fair way from the Adelaide Hills and Mt Crawford and even further to Echunga, so I play with my machine around here trying to find pre-decimals and relics. Found a heap of interesting stuff [coded for junk] but with all the playing I'm putting it down to experience. I am working away at getting better with it so that when we go to Laanecoorie I actually will be able to find and bring home some Victorian yella. Here's hopin'.

Let me know which area your going to so I can raid it first

PS I am only kidding...

Good to hear you all love it still. I tried 1.5v 3000mAh lithium batteries awhile back and found I got longer running time and smoother running 12 hours out of them . but they were not rechargable and 40 bucks a pop . Not worth buying if It's not paying. Maybe recharge 1.2v 2450mAh enloops are a better way to go.
