Cash is king..........i always travelled with cash ,and a card just in case leaving the big sum in a safe depend where i m,you can negotiate with cash even in the high street............Thing is with Changing money if you got a good rate you could treat yourself even more:)

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

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

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.......

That would be alright, but the best coil I've seen for our NZ Creeks is the GB2's 6.5" elliptical coil.  It's big bonus is being thin in thickness so can really get into crevices well.

It is basically the same as a Nel Snake.  You don't need holes in a coil that small.  We have very fast flowing mountain side creeks so a bit of weight helps I think so being epoxy filled is nice.

I think an SDC waterproof coil in that configuration would be a killer.  I hope one day there is one for other Minelabs too.

I need to try a GB2 one day .But with my limited SDC experience i think u re right that could be a nice combo,i like small coils anyway
