Dozer,
I have one as well. Great tool to minimise hole depth and locating exact location of target. You can instantly tell if the target is out or still in the hole and the beeps increase in intensity until a constant tone is heard when you smack bang on the target. Would not be without it.
I ve been using mine almost daily for a month and the 9v battery has just started to get low.
I wonder if nugget hunters use them? All the videos I ve watched they use plastic scoop or halving handfuls of dirt over their coils? Pro-Find would make light work of this task.
Regards
No, I don't for no other reason as I am still not 100% convinced they will work properly or to 100% efficiency on highly mineralised gold bearing ground or interfere (EMI wise) with the GPX detectors. I acknowledge they are excellent for parks and beaches. Funnily enough - when I am into a quartz reef I use a VLF Xterra 70 to pinpoint and check for small species in quartz lumps. Excellent bit of kit.

If you are in Melbourne and would like one I can PM you the number of the guy that made it for me. Very happy with it and reasonable price. Now I can smash the stuff I brought from Eldorado the other week.

any chance you can give me a close up view of the weld on the end of that ball ?
looks like its brazed on there ?
if i was going to make one of that style i would probably have a star point on one end (or a ball like your one) and a flat pad on the other end otherwise you wont get a fine crushing with a ball alone ?
Nice one Baz.bazza2210 said:Today I bought an oxyset to make melting gold and brazing aluminum easier.

I also picked up a 36,000 LPH pump for $130 ( free postage...yayyy)....I know it is heavier...but a spot the missus and I want to go back to has a steep bank, and need to get the water up to where we will be working...at least 7-8 metres above. So plenty of water even with the height difference.
I will grab a light pump for trekking at a later date.

Now for some hoses and connections, and we can give the unit a test run west of Taree just to try it out ( poor gold area).
Come Autumn and we will find the time to venture out to the Turon river.....praying for good rain west of the ranges...fingers crossed
