  1. Some photo's and a couple of Video's Just thought I'd show a few 2014 - 2015, finds a mate, Gully Hunter and I have detected in the Golden Triangle Victoria, Australia. We both run GPX 4500's. The terrain is fairly rugged scrub.The first 2 photo's were from the last quarter of 2014 basically from near impossible scrub, one step forwards 2 steps backwards, more time spent fighting the scrub than detecting. This one was 19.5 inches deep and was 14 grams found by Gully Hunter. 15 grammer before and after a clean 16 grammer. A nice 6 grammer Guardian of the gold and a 4.8 grammer Took an old mate Bill out a he shows us how it's done. 24 grammer GPX 4000 Earlier 4 grammer video The Terrain

  2. Finally hit a worthwhile patch today, it was a brutal trail to drive then I had to hike down a steep canyon and go almost two miles till I rounded a bend and saw a nice long stretch of bedrock, when the smoke cleared I had 9 nuggets for a half ounce then had to start the long trek out, but I was carrying gold so it was ok

  3. my buddy jeff and I went up to Gold Basin for a few days...The Basin has never been generous with me or Jeff but we scapped out some gold and meteorites. This was the first time Jeff has ever bested me in quanity of meteorites and in their size. He also found the first little nuggy...we are not rich but had a fine time! I will attempt some pic's First is mine second is me proving I need to lose weight except I disappeared three is jeff's fred

  4. My professional wireless background is far more involved in audio headsets than metal detectors so I'll strive to be brief and specific on the topics in this thread. (brief is difficult for me) Bluetooth (a technology brand) is indeed a more widely popular standard than Kleer (a company name which uses a proprietary technology). Kleer based products almost always come in a pair a dongle (plugs into audio jack or maybe USB) and a headset. Kleer main claims to fame are low latency and lossless audio (in laymen's terms this means very clear audio). So, to support vanerspaul's assertion, you are not likely to go wrong with Kleer based audio jack dongle and headset. Bluetooth headsets tend to be sold standalone to work with a phone, computer, tablet, which has an embedded bluetooth capability. If you find a Bluetooth audio jack dongle and headset combination, look for "low latency A2DP". Otherwise you may end up with a latency problem as Steve notes above. (OK, one nerdy thing - for lip synch audio, matching video human speaking to audio, the rule of thumb is less than ~ 40mSec latency. So in our application, matching MD swing (eyeball) to sound, look for less than 40 mSec latency on the specs of your headset audio dongle combo.) To summarize for those not wanting to be wireless audio pros, you are less likely to make a mistake with Kleer based audio dongle and headset products. The GPZ 7000 is based on a 2.4 GHz proprietary technology of Texas Instruments (per FCC submissions). Bluetooth and Kleer also use the 2.4 GHz band. 2.4 GHz is not in and of itself magic. There is crap and great audio stuff using the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Minelab's choice of the TI technology means they are going to keep their wireless audio link a closed system so you can't go buy a wireless headset to mate with your GPZ 7000 directly. You'll buy a corded audio headset to plug into the GPZ 7000 WM 12 just like on the CTX 3030 WM10 module.

  5. This one has the Kleer technology, still in production, AND a tiny AA powered transmitter or plug in the wall and LOTS cheaper than the TDK version at $155. The Sennheiser 160 is $115. See what you think? http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-RS-160-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B002SOU2Y0/ref=pd_cp_e_3

  6. When it comes to the GPZ 7000 money is no object---because I have none.

  7. EVERY one of those rigs is SWEET! maybe cause i know they are all for detecting/prospecting! These pics make me excited to get "out there" more than pictures of gold make me want to get out! WTH deathray? I might have known you were in Calaveras county... But now i KNOW i know,, LOL! think i've seen that black jeep and hood ornament (maybe @ Sonora gold show), and I KNOW my brother took a picture of it for me one day when he saw it around. I just have me ole 2003 Toyota Tacoma v6 trd extra cab. She is beat up, but that helps SQUEEZE down the ATV trails! Sheeesh, i ramble, confused myself!
