Variety Of Treasure Recoveries On 1 Trip

Thats what i call a good sesh!!!!!!! Well done! RR -
As Steve say you better do it yourself has I compare the deus/ORX(or any othertop end machine) as a sport bike ,same bike same lap distance and different rider=different time/lap. The round coil is on my opinion less sensitive to big rusty bits.The elliptical coil need to be restricted(lots of discri ) to excel in high trash (Ferrous) area.But I guess it will be more sentive to small gold bits.the 9" is I think the best coil ever made for the Deus. I am testing it at the moment in full blast with success.Same settings different scoils differents targets I wont even start to talk about the frequencies it is another subject Hope that help RR

Rivers rat replied to Rivers rat's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Day 3 i yes i managed to find gold with the guidance of Neil with his SDC,Peter had everything in his car so the heat was bearable and a selection of hot drinks was offered while in the bush on the menu: -CAPPUCIANO -FRAPPUCIANO -EXPRESSO -LATTE -HOT CHOCOLATE But no Afugato has the vanilla ice cream was sold out.........? Later that day we went to a spot were i could see mine shaft by the dozen,and we did a metal detecting session on an hypothetical Ghost town (name will be kept secret).And it was time for me to head back to Melbourne,stopping a last time in Dunolly and taking a shot of the famous anvil. I would to thanks again Peter and his wife for the very very warm welcome i received ,amazing food,amazing mentor,a GREAT man!!!! and Steve for the forum as nothing will have been possible without. I will cherish those moments for ever.

Rivers rat replied to Rivers rat's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Day 2 and i decided to metal detect with my faulty Xterra 705( was a dodgy gift i guess) which i brought from the UK managed a few bits,which i gave to Neil (bnb owner) to be framed for his collection.No gold for me on day 2 but pellets and the usual gold fields junk.Managed to get lost after heading to Maryborough to refuel and went around for an hour and half in the Australian countryside,managed to spot 30 "roos" in a field and later 1 managed to jump 30 yards from the car but in 2 hops he was gone. Day 2 started early and metal detecting as a warm up Vue from my room SDC2300 the heavy beast Poser.......... -

We then drove around and look for different spot and end up the day with a FANTASTIC Diner prepared by Pete s wife. I found no gold on day one but i spend a very good day despite the heat , thanks God Peter had a fridge in the car and chilled drinks were a blessing. Another bit of Gold for Peter heavy weight this time 0.015 gram.......Equinox i unreal HOT!!!!!!!! Day one lead Peter day 1 gold My new friend!!!!! -
Hello to all i managed to find a bit of time to share my experience and trip in the Goldfields.So here we go: I managed to escape Melbourne for 3 days as wife was working there and i was doing the driving.Was hot very hot and i understand now why there is time to prospect and time to stay in an air cooled house. Anyway as a result of a post on the forum i contacted Goldrat (aka Peter) and after some very good chat and instruction we met in Maryborough .The drive from Melbourne for me was epic as : 1)i loved the scenery 2) i get lost very easily (But thanks to Peter instruction and a capricious phone i reached my destination without problem). So we head up to Talbot for bnb and to pick up a SDC2300 complimentary of my landlord Neil.We then headed to our first spot ,and while Peter was narrating the tales of mountain of gold retrieve from the area i was taking as many pics as possible as this was completely new to me Peter found the first bit of gold using his faithfull Equinox with the 6".......for the setting ask him . My bnb road SPOT 1 Wasn't me!!!!!!!! Scoooooore Peter first gold ,he gave it to me lost it in my suitcase.......
