Thanks Simon , Loved your adventure and effort to take us on it . Been detecting in Tassie on some hairy roads and you brought back all my nervous moments . A change of undies required !!!! Cheers mate goldrat

I have Andy"s book , had been using the Equinox for 6 months prior to reading it with success finding relics , coins and gold nuggets . Started studying Andy's book and couldn't believe how much it improved my knowledge and confidence , so much so that I have cobwebs on my GPX at the moment . Buy both authors books if you have doubts , you won't regret it . Happy hunting , Cheers goldrat

Norm , I'm certain Avantree still stocks great bluetooth low latency transmitters . I've coupled them in the past with Avantree headphones and buds , work excellent . Cheers goldrat

Good Morning phrunt . Found many emu nests with eggs over the years , that find is many years old and the eggs have been spread over a distance . They have faded drastically from their original colour ( good old Aussie sun ) Had many breakfasts from emu eggs 50 years ago , from memory 2 or 3 eggs would feed 6 strapping blokes (scrambled or fried) Couldn't and wouldn't attempt that now . Cheers goldrat

Looks like lotsa digging Againstmywill , a well deserved find , congrats . Not so lucky in the Aussie Golden Triangle and all of Victoria . All recreational hobbies have been banned including prospecting , fishing , etc , plus all unnecessary travel , except for food and other essentials ( Doctors , Chemists ) Looks like we understand your Cabin Fever better now . Keep Safe , as well as to all Detector Prospector members , Cheers goldrat

JP , That's how I like threads to go . Far more beneficial to my learning curve than settings , coils etc . I hope this is the new trend for all to report . Take care mate an have a great year . Cheers goldrat

Thanks for the explanation Chase , will take it cautiously . Love the Nox 800 , may have to set my spending at a Nox 600 . I like to be able to upgrade to save buying new detectors continuously . Cheers goldrat

Thanks phrunt , must be the getting older problem , sure I read in the development days it would not upgrade . Back ready to spend money on the Grandson now . Cheers goldrat

Jeff , sales begin in Australia this week , but I have been hesitating to purchase as I believed the Vanquish was not upgradeable . Haven't been into a Minelab Dealer as yet to ask that question . Cheers goldrat

Thanks for the info Steve , never miss reading articles by Chris . Now I've got plenty of viewing . Going to a PMAV meeting tonight in the Golden Triangle and will inform the group in general business . Cheers goldrat

May have missed pricing on the new x coils , interested to find out cost and web site to purchase . Cheers goldrat

Appreciate your important story Steve , I started in hospitality ( clubs and country hotels ) in1958 and finished in 2013 . In that span of years I saw many of both genders ruin their health , wealth , future and last but most importantly their family units . Over the years it broke my heart to see all of the above happen before my eyes . As I aged I tried extremely hard to help many people and their families , but I learnt that they have to own up to their problem , admit it and voluntary seek help . Thanks for your story , you have bought back many work related memories . I have always admir

Hi phrunt , I'm going to purchase a pinpointer shortly , at the moment I'm between the Minelab 35 and either XP Deus M14 or M16 . Can't find a lot of info on the XP's , what's your thoughts . Cheers goldrat

Hi Nugglorious , My smallest 4 nuggets found with Nox at about 2 inches and all VDI'd #2 . Interested to know what your 0.01 nugget VDI'd at . Hope you find plenty more . Cheers goldrat

Lovely speci Dave , are you popping it into acid or leaving it as a speci . Then you can find it in 4 years time .? Cheers goldrat
