Rivers rat

A sdc in a Gold monster configuration or something more ergonomic will be better if i was to buy one i will change a lot of things......waterproof need another design of coils right???i guess those frisbee are really renowned for their buoyancy .I dont now much about looking for gold in creeks and cracks but i guess the coil need to have holes.

Something like that will be cool thats just my 2 cents of course

It seems now I would be getting the same car.  How is it?  Can you sleep in it?  haha

On the insurance, my insurance company here will not cover anything outside of the United States.  My credit card will cover the collision up to $50,000 which is a savings of $11 a day on insurance.  Neither credit card or rental car talks about liability coverage.

Who offers that?

Mitchel

Ok, I feel a story coming on about your trip.

My trip now will consist of an 800 and a 7000.

Gold rat found a 0.015gr piece in front of me with the 6" coil on the Nox othe piece was 0.045 gr not bad for  aVLF

RR

Now we are talking i used one for 3 days and i like the threshold but the weights is something Thanks God almighty Goldrat had an awesome harness

RR

TIDE TIMES app is very useful and accurate ......yes gonna be hot and busy.Better on Monday when i am heading to the goldfields...

RR

I usually ride motorbikes so i dont have the same issues as car drivers.Madame wasnt keen on that so i rented a 4x4

Melbourne last week 20 bucks a day was the cheapest i found.Traffic is chaotic but drivers are nice than i London.GOR this week end,took a detector with me just in case but low tide is early hours of the morning (1.20am) so i gave it a miss?

RR

If i hit the motherload i am moving down under.Minelabs are cheaper peeps are nice and parking space are well designed.......not mentioning the feeling you got that people money is invested into infrastructures ....

I'll never forget the day when I was a kid in Australia and I put my shoes on to go to school that I had left outside for the night and I struggled to get my foot in, took my shoe off and shook it and a dirty great big cane toad with its guts hanging out fell out of my shoe, I crushed it trying to force my foot in, I thought maybe I'd left my socks screwed up in my shoes which I tended to do, never did that again ?

They're ugly suckers and it bounced off like nothing happened even though its guts was hanging out.

He died doing what he loves the most

Ok, about a car.  I see I could get an AWD Hyundai Tucson  for $23 a day.  Is that enough to follow a few prospectors if I avoid the deep holes?  haha

One website says I'd have to pay a surcharge if I am over 65 and another ones says the surcharge is over 70.  This is the first time I've see either one.

Hi i landed yesterday and thats the car i rented ,but they gave me a MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER  not bad at all but......no nav 

RR

More like white chocolate peinted with food grade gold paint?????

RR

I left that to my staff bbefore flying to OZ 23.2 gr not bad for a beginner

Enjoy

RR

Hi so what was your may job there??

RR

Merci!

RR

Thanks Chaps I can see clearer now really helpful one last question I guess I need a miners permit right????just in case I found the mother load

RR

Hot rocks dont we love them?i had some sweeeeeeeeet sound with the deus with HF ,the perfect signal and .....................crusty crispy crunchy big iron.........

RR

Nice XP are amazing machines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RR

Thanks Jeff i may take both i am entitled to 24kg.........so i may tempt it.

At the end of the day i won't invest in a GPX/Z has i wont need it after...........and Fisher will come out with something soon .

Minelab seems to own the market in Australia and good for them .I would love to find something good with the Deus down under .

RR

So my trip is coming up i asked left right and center as it is hard to get a straight answer......so i may take my Xterra and use it .I guess GPX and Z are far too long to learn in 2 weeks ......Deus even in 80khz may struggle with OZ soil........not many Deus in Australia yet.....Have you ever tried the prospecting mode because this what i may use

RR

I may hit the beaches as well anything will do ,join me :)

RR

I ll be there from the 22nd Feb. up to the 10th o f march.........did try to contact a few "Tour" peeps but no luck .........next is maybe to contact a shop........anyway If I buy a Nox use it for 2 weeks bring it back to the UK and sell it I still could make a profit ,enough tot buy a pair of Redback boots.................................... .

Gonna be fun
