Is this machine any good for Australian conditions. I can't find a review on it anywhere.

I'm scrounging around to buy a detector. I've got my eye on a Whites TDI SL, it has a manual GB and a Goldmaster 24k. Would it do the job finding gold here in Far North Qld?

Yeah, and one that cooks well also.

It appears the reasonable argument is weighted in favour of coils that a made for specific brands of detectors. I'd just love to pay $170 Oz dollars (used) for a 14" NF, but the RazorBack will end up being the one I buy, even though it's nearly $300 Oz money (new). And of course it is a Blue Moon if you see a used RB available used. There's a message in that. At least I would think so. Thanks for this one, Steve.

Take a few dogs up there and hunt them out. I wouldn't mind people being on my place but when they start to trash it...party's over gang! "Get 'em up, move 'em out!"

Just get some good enamel paint and paint it on. Do one coat let it dry and try for a fit. Maybe another coat if it isn't snug enough.

Yep, silence. I emailed ML with a bit of info from a member of staff in Adelaide and they only said how they upheld the highest standards. I just said about SHs comment on the Z, that I might consider getting one if they do an up-grade on it. But here's another example of cheap crap when it comes to the build of the machine. I really don't get it!

In six to twelve months they'll have an upgrade and I might even consider saving for one. But then it's ML, so I better not hold my breath.

George would have been rapt also! I guess that's why he wanted a good photo of it. Good on ya Ashley.

There might be an exponential rise in cost also. Are you state-side Vanursepaul?

I mentioned in another place that I'd spoken to Reidman and he said that he can't post anything with batteries into Oz. OK.... So, I PMd him from here. He asked me to email him with another email. Did that last night or this morning (can't remember off-hand, I had one too many brandies last night). So am awaiting a response from him. Will let you know as soon as a reply lands. Robin

Hi Reidman, a lot of us here in Oz want to score one of those packs for the SL. Can you assist us in making a connection with the seller and organize something for us. If not I'll give them a call myself.

Only this morning I read one of Steve's articles when he was at Moore Ck. and how he adjusted a machine to suit a different patch of ground on tailing heaps. Delete the slagging you copped from the chatterati. They've got little else with which to amuse themselves. Besides if they were any good at all at this business they'd be out on their boat with a beautiful woman drinking expensive champagne that they bought with all the gold they found with the TDI that hadn't been adjusted. LOL!!!

Thanks for the heads-up, Reg. I've been in touch with him and am working on the situation.

Hullo everyone. I'm mulling over getting a TDI Pro Oz unit here in Oz. It's a 2010 model. Is there someone here in Oz that does an 'upgrade' should it need it. I assume because it is five years old it might need some kind of tweek. A bit like most of us oldies.
