Gday all, I am from Nsw been a prospector mainly panning and sluicing since 1992. Just finally decided to get a detector as my back dosnt like sluicing any more so got my self a SDC 2300... hope i can get some good results with it. First run with it to work it out yesterday found all sorts, Led shot, Bits of wire, brass nails and a bras button. was impressed at the depth i was finding the small led shot one bit was easy 8 inch's deep and gave a strong signal. So here's to finding heaps more crap and just maybe the odd bit of gold. Cheers
 
Wouldn't it be great if you could know when not to dig 8 inches deep for a lead shot ?
It's fun first thing in the day , but gets very old , very quick.
But how the heck does a lead shot get 8 inches deep ?

Welcome to the forum Cottoneye ..
 
LOL no my name is Kim but Years ago a mate reckoned i looked like the dude in the film clip, i used to have long hair and had
this beat up old hat i lived in, any way the nickname stuck and here we are. :lol:
 
G'day Cottoneye great intro and follow up with the nickname :Y:. Welcome to PA the 2300 is a ripper you'll be digging gold no doubt after reading that report. All the best when you get a chance to go detecting.
 
Welcome Cottoneye. They say if you find led shot you can find gold so you must be doing something right. The SDC is a great machine and hopefully it serves you well.
 
Gday Cottoneye ..
Stuart Town is about an hours drive and would be a good place to give the 2300 a swing ..
Get your post count up to 10 and you can access the members area of the forum also..
