Back in 1973-4 A few work mate were diving with their wife's on some world war 2 sunken ships for their port holes. As this was at Bougainville Island PNG. It was a big tragedy when one of the guys drown and his wife and family had to be got back to England half way around the world away.

I consider restrictive devices are only price gouging. They are restricting known technology ie. coil designs so they can have an unfair fight with other manufactures. All they are doing is protecting non patented products to make profit from their loyal customers . 🤬

Try some self sealing tape. Wrap it around the coil 2 times plus with a small amount of pressure. It will give a bit of protection when lightly hitting stones and twigs. ...........Ebay Tape type LINK.......... Another use.

I am of the opinion that the detector is only of 10% of the yield. I think I will find more gold by searching for a new patch than getting what other skilled detectorist miss on old patches but if I am wrong so be it. But the 6000 may get me the first nugget in a new patch so I would consider a GPX 6000 over my two GP3000 as finding gold is more important than DOLLARS to me. Sorry if I don't leave much for you fossickers, but what you find you deserve. 😉 😉

I hope my grandkids have the same attitude as you.

Also a member and worked a few weeks ago.

Do you relies that it's weight is 1 troy ounce pity it was not gold instead of lead. (480 grain = 1 troy ounce.)

One of these that work.😁

"Those were the days my friend I thought they would never end" until I helped a couple of beginners get some gold instead of mica in their pans. The next week their mates turned up with 3 dredgers and empty out the spot. ..........I guess that they were the type that contributed to the closing of dredging with their greed .......

From what I hear of the current temps in USA, Alaska seems to be the place to be.😀

MRA embarks to reduce mercury usage Alluvial miners at work on Bougainville Cedric Patjole | Loop PNG | March 8, 2020 The Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) recently launched a project to reduce the use of mercury in small scale mining operations. The Project aims to identify the extent to which mercury is used in the industry and how it is used and by whom, in a bid to mitigate health risks. On March 6th, the ‘Reducing Mercury Use in Papua New Guinea’s Alluvial and Small-Scale Gold Mining Sector’ Project was launched in Port Moresby, following a workshop with key stakeholders and project partners. The Alluvial Mining industry is one of the largest small to medium enterprise sectors in PNG that engages thousands of rural small scale miners. It is also a sector that is great health risks due to the usage of mercury. “This project is designed to get a better understanding of our alluvial sector general, and more specifically to identify the extent to which mercury is used how it is used and by whom,” said MRA Executive Manager of Regulatory Operations, Roger Gunson. “In addition, it will track the supply trial and identify the regions where it is used. The data collected relating to the sector will be entered into a database administered as part of MRA’s land-folio tenement system. “This will be able to better inform on policy development, resourcing, training and sector needs.” Gunson, said the Alluvial Mining is one of the biggest revenue earners for the country with K550 million recorded in 2019. He said this is similar to revenue generated by smaller mines such as Simberi Mine. However, the use of mercury in extracting gold poses major health risks to the miners. “Unfortunately, in many parts of PNG gold is extracted through the use of mercury. This is a danger to the health of miners, their families and communities as well as we have heard from the workshop today. “Hence, we have a paradox, we want the gold and we want to be able to seek it, but we also have a health risk that sits alongside it,” said Gunson. The project is funded by the US Department of State and implemented by Artisanal Gold Council (AGC) in conjunction with the MRA. Share this:

Got good gold right up to these cans. It is not the big bits of junk, it the tiny ones that are the problem.

Don't worry about us. Worry about the animals out there

Simon thanks for getting the topic back on track. If a pin pointer is required then you should get the best, and that look great.

He said Alaska, not Australia. 😁 mate. I'm sure the forum will be fine. Might even take a turn for the better in my absence. Not better Steve,(that is impossible) but I am sure that Chase will keep it at 100% so go and clean up with the 6000 before the rest of them get there. 😉

The same happen to me about 10 years ago in Western Australia.

You have done it now Trent, we will have all those Yanks on the next Qantas after seeing the photo you posted an hour ago. 🤣

Is that a hand tool?👍 Or are you on a claim.😀

Have a great Day in the USA Australians observe Father’s Day on the first Sunday of September.

"White Clay" I like your 3rd photo.

The whole point is enjoying yourself and getting an amount of gold that satisfies your effort. The detector may go 10% deeper but how much gold is that 10% deeper. The detector maybe a lot lighter that might let you detect 10% more area, how much more gold is there. The detector might be better for ergonomists reasons and that might allow you 10% more area, how much more gold is there. Maybe you can increase your abilities and get 10% more gold that is time and effort not dollars to the Makers. A later manufactured detector that have taken into consideration the factors in the first paragraph will add to your enjoyment and gold acumination. Best of luck with your decision on acumination of Atomic number N°79 (Au79=Gold).

The gold is there, not hard to hear, but a lot of ground has to be carefull gone over. Best of luck and watch out for us Aussies they take a bit to understand but most are not dangerous.😁

Another choice is buy a very high quality key together with combination safe. The key can be located off site for extra security. As for burying all their money, my Mum said Dad never spent any of his pension 20 odd years except for fishing gear and gas. Mum paid for all to food and house improvements. She could not find his stash, ended up selling the house and farm in Tasmania and buying a house near us in Victoria. This was nearly 20 years ago and would of rotten by now.

With the flat top of the 3rd number 5 is another choice maybe.
