Starting out

[linesman]

Purchased my nox 800 in October so these are my finds to date. Not as outstanding as some of the great finds l see on PA.but lm still happy. Im only working my local beaches here on the Sunny Coast at the moment. Can some one tell me if it is necessary to run the detector battery down to totally discharged before recharging ? Cheers Bazz.

Nice watch mate..looks like your doing all right :Y:

Well done. No battery likes to be run down completely flat. They don't like it at all. I am very alert to the fact that my wife likes to run her mob phone batt and media pad batt flat every time. I am always topping them up when she is not looking.

Nice start with the NOX :Y:

Doing well on the finds so far with the Equinox. I wouldn't worry about running down lithium batteries, they do not have the same "memory" effect that the older rechargeables used to have, hence can be topped up at any stage of discharge.

Just out of curiosity how many hours did you spend to find all that loot!

I want to know what i'm in for!

p.s So far I have been out for about 3 hours with the kids and my grand total is 85 cents and lots of bottle tops. Yeah i Know i'm still green..

 

[linesman]

About 18/20 hours l think mixo. Ive also found a lot of bottle tops & ring pulls.

Thanks Goldpick I thought that was the case with lithium batteries.

Dont fret mate. I think Ive found half of comalcos tailings. You will hit a spot one day and youll really get the bug bad. Its just a time in the field thing. Good luck

Gday linesman, have you had anyone look at the watch yet ? Im told by a work colleague who is a hobby watch collector, it looks like a copy of a Rolex Daytona Chronograph .Heres a fun fact an original Rolex Daytona owned by Paul Newman was sold at auction in March this year for a record $17.800.000
Cheers Booney

 

[Northeast]

Alexandre Christie. Only ones I could see were coming out of Singapore.

Couple of hundred I think although couldnt find the exact watch :Y:

 

[linesman]

Gee Booney I wish it was Rolex but northeast is on the money I looked on the net too and came to the same conclusion as northeast. The band is too small for the bride but dont worry daughter has made a claim as well as grand daughter so I guess it will find a good home. Bazz.

Went for a swing for the first day of the year just to get focused on whats important . Rolled down to one of the local beaches at 7pm there were 5 other swingers there. You cant blame every one for trying there its the main beach around here and its flood lit at night.So needless to say I found another beach with no flood lights and I shared the beach with a bunch of kids with torches having a ton of fun chasing ghosts

crabs.Spent 1 1/2 hours in the cool of the evening for $5.90 in change + random rubbish for me a good start for the new year.

 

[linesman]

Hi all. Went for a swing at low tide early this morning. As well as some small change got this beaut 9c bracelet obviously lost because the clasp wore through at the back end. The two pairs of sunnies arent my script lol so the grand children will get to use them.
