Did you play with the retune switch?? RR

Hello to all went for a bit of digging on Sunday ,next to home.I could not carry all the gear on the motorbike so i walked ,loaded like a Trooper from Easy company on DDAY.....peeps were looking at me i was expecting to hear: -NORMANDY??That way!!➡️➡️➡️!?? Anyway when i am digging alone on the foreshore i decided to do trenches long and not very deep to check the layers of different soils and try i took the GMPwith the elliptical coil on her maiden voyage. It is hard work and i was sweating like a pig ,and i am fit,i stopped at 2.5 feet So on the menu we got: 2 early clay pipes 16/17th century Pieces of crap and a brass bracelet The silver bit was found while testing the coil ,and the best find was what i think is a Pilgrim Pendant with a scallop maybe 12th century/14th century nothing amazing but why got to the gym when you can exercise doing what you love :):) Enjoy RR

My fav coil is the 5,75 DD from tesoro i got a few after market coils BUT i always had a feeling manufacturers coil are slightly better tune,with a crispier response .It could be BS but thats my feeling anyway.I am Talking VLF here . RR

Very nice !!! RR

Nice shots !!!!!!!! RR

Well done can we get more pics of the Indian pottery it must be more there...... Thanks RR

Well done!!!!!!!!!! imagine the same session with a detector punching deeper.....................depth is not everything RR

On another note if its wetter than usual is it Greener??? RR

I agree I came to the same conclusion,we drove we try and found only tiny bits.If I was to move there I will get and electric bike and off we go ,but as you mentioned a lot of spots have been detect,sieved ,dug,mined etc.....I have to admit our Ozzie friend did a good job there! Never detected(prospected) in the US so not too sure :) one day maybe RR

Hi Just my 2 cents I never used a 2300 before my trip yes I used 5904765430280865085 metal detectors and I do have 1 PI a Goldscan 5c modded for beaches (originally bought for OZ) after 10 minutes in the gold fields I managed to find targets I had 10 non ferrous on the 1st day (more like afternoon) of course I was surprised of how easy it was to use , but the coil position the lousy arm cup and the headphones were, annoying and after 11min of use I was already thinking of how to improve it . This machine is I think the best starter PI .Will I buy one if I was to detect more in OZ YES RR

Well done!!!!!!thats amazing whats the oldest item? RR

Well done Caprocka quick ggle search brought the same result well done for the ID a snake in his beak as well https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mexican+19th+century+buckle&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjHjPPj_LTiAhXpAmMBHS7eDIYQ_AUIDigB&biw=1920&bih=963#imgrc=_&spf=1558728667108 RR

I agree 23000%..................how many times I asked directly my favourite manufacturer smaller coil in concentric........... RR

Na Vic! RR

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wll done Look like my rental car!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks for the pics...............I miss The bush big time!!!!!!!!! RR

Nice dog!Next time i am going to OZ i am bringing a good VLF............ RR

Excellent!look that the flora and fauna were the same where i was i agree on : Bendigo and Victoria honor the struggle of the miners and keep it open for the entire world to 'have a go' at finding nuggets. No one will ever get them all in this part of the world. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!! RR

I ate well in Oz i was lucky every time then ..........i also brought back jams,honey and chutneys which i bought on a local market in Warrnambool ,top breakfast in Appollo bay and had a fab burger in ......forgot the name just to name a few.Everywhere i had coffee it was better than UK . The best was Goldrat BBQ and wife salad buffet but that s another story.... RR

yep look like lead............. RR

I saw it in action in OZ considering that it is doing very well on Europe beaches i think it has proven it can cover a large aspect of metal detecting. I think i would have bought one during my trip if i wasn't already loaded with machines................. RR

Put and take correct????? RR

Good luck i wish i was there right now..........but you got a Z so you gonna hit those elusive nuggets hard!!! RR

Apparently the name is : VANQUISH....... RR

I have to say thats a cool name.........................did you know that the Victory (Ship) fought the Redoutable(ship) in Trafalgar 1805.And the Redoutable is the french version of the Lobo(Tesoro)............... name of the ship were so cool at the time. Oooooops enough of the history lesson i am going back to make cake and desserts??Vive la France! RR

Well done!!!!!!!!!! RR
