Today I Bought a Minelab GP 3500 Now the learning starts
Yesterday I bought a GPX4000. Had a quick swing on the way home near Heathcote (a .22 casing only came up but seems to be working very nicely). Came with an 11" DD, 17" NF mono, speaker, harness with Camelbak cleverly integrated and an s-shaped upper shaft. Got a CC Pick as part of the negotiation.
Ordered JP's DVD this morning.
Looking for a small mono, perhaps the PMcoils 12x4.
Happy days!

Today I received 2 parcels in the mail.
This prospecting belt/bag. Has 3 pockets as well as elastic loops to hold items. Also came with the Garrett pro pointer lanyard securing ring and stretchy cord to attach it to the bag or ? The belt will double as the belt for my hip mounted Infinium box.
And this scoop. (handle is from bunnings $8) The scoop is an Indiana Prime, from that mob in Latvia via E-Bay.
A couple of $1 coins to show its size.
Can hardly wait to get to the beach.

Thanks Monty just reading through the manual there is more to this detector than i thought.
Already finding rubbish,great to hear the machine go off though.
Looking forward to getting out in the big bad world.

Suggest that you read and re-read the manual. It sounds a bit daunting at first, but eventually you become aware of what everything does / is used for.
SA Bogan has some UTube videos on the 705 setup and are helpful. I had a note pad when I watched them and I take this with me when I am out detecting,
just in case I have one of those 'senior moments'
Quick question:- what are you looking for with the detector? Coins/Relics/Gold/anything...........
I have not used mine on the beach yet, but the local parks have been fun.

Hi Monty at the moment looking for anything,just in the back garden, which i must add is an old orchad down here in Tassie.Using the defalt settings digging everything and take mental notes of readings.Todays finds ring pulls off cans,one full key,the top of another key,a bullet shell to big for a 22 may be a 303 not sure, and the case off an old watch with some inscription made in korea.,still a good learning curve,may adventure out to some sites on Monday. Have a good one.
Today I went to buy a simple 100mm cut-off disc for my grinder but......I got distracted by this... :lol:
Been looking at them for ages

Now you just need the accessories to go with it.
You know they sell a drill press arrangement to hold those as well don't you? Great for doing fine work as it leaves your hands free to move the material under the dremel.

I have it on good authority the drill stand is pretty ordinary. The guides are plastic and snap/loosen up not giving a tru vertical plane. If you are thinking of getting one get one with steel fittings. I think sydney tools sells a decent one. I bought a ozito bench mount drill press for my woodworking and other projects
I have a few attachments for my dremel. It is a very handy tool. Take the time to get the feel of the different bits on different materials. The high speed can cause some slips if you use too much or too little pressure..
