  1. "So all l can say is slow down, plan you attack and have patience and work the area properly and don't be too quick to write a spot off or you will leave it behind."

    I agree. I ask most newbies how long does it take to Mow the grass in a footy ground well it takes longer to detect and there might be only one nugget but it might be a massive one away from the specks.

  2. Mal, you said "that is transversed by 500KVA high voltage transmission line towers." I think you meant 500KV. if so a corona discharge may be your problem. A corona discharge is an electrical discharge brought on by the ionization of a fluid such as air surrounding a conductor that is electrically charged. Spontaneous corona discharges occur naturally in high-voltage systems. Coronas generate gases such as ozone (O3) an electrically charge particles.

    If you are determine to detect in these situations wait for a slight breeze and detect on the upwind side of the line. By the way I closed the switch (CB) on Victoria's first operation of 500 KV line at Hazelwood Power Station back in the early 1970ties

    Thankyou all

    yes our son has been detecting since he was 12, so thats about 31 years now.

    he also found this one with the 14 inch coil.. with the Gpz7000

    i didn't ask him what the setting's were. 

    Sourdough scott Lol ...i should take a side view pic, it may weigh more .. lol

    Good to see you on line.

    My boys started in 1980 at Wedderburn and Maryborough, but they put it on hold to chasing the local girls. The youngest got married to a Maryborough girl. His 4 boys are nearly off his hands and I am sure he will get back into it.
