Full leathers ....... yes, yes - I have heard all the brokeback mountain stuff from my mates.... 120 Bucks made in Bali - absolutely fantastic.

All of the above and sat phone. We always go with 2 vehicles - both fully setup with all the fruit. 280L of fresh water and food reserves for 3 weeks. First aid kit is packed - just in case of below..... Cheers BB

Not magnetic (just checked) but a nice mix of ironstone/quartz. About 5g. The ironstone has tiny slivers infused into it as well, hard to see. Cheers BB

I agree, the quicktrak button is an under utilized resource. The ability to create custom modes like the 3030 would be very useful to those who wished to fiddle - especially between normal and difficult ground modes. I was hoping the 7000 screen would have had the ability to swivel (say 20 degrees either way) and to be locked in that position. The quicker they team up with Oziexplorer the better - that would be superb. Cheers BB

G'day all. I was chatting to a minelab dealer who said that there are several upgrades coming before the end of the year for the Zed (apparently......). He could not say what, but I assume it will be software upgrades. Has anybody else heard about this ??? Cheers BB

Huge Problem With Wireless Module For GPZ 7000
Bada Bing replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Steve. Here is my setup using the pro-swing and incorporating a small camel pack. The pick holder is inspired by one of my prospecting mates. The pick is up out of the way and nicely centered. The major reason for this quantum leap in prospecting was - it frees up your left hand to walk with a beer and prospect - true story... We are also going the Velcro route. I'm off to Bali and am getting a few made for the module and also a cover for the Zed. Will post when back ... Cheers BB -
Huge Problem With Wireless Module For GPZ 7000
Bada Bing replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
I received a Minelab hat and key chain registered post yesterday with the booklet on the 7000 congratulating me on my purchase. Nice thought. Would rather be able to get second WM12 unit, carry bag, spare battery, 20 inch coil etc etc right now ........ Cheers BB -
So Many Good Choices...
Bada Bing replied to vanursepaul's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Lunk - we tried everything in every setting. Spent hours fiddling. There was a lot of residual moisture in the ground. We just had a cyclone through the area which with the 5000 gives better penetration. We will go back when it has dried out fully and retest. Cheers BB -

All good mate. Downloaded yesterday and whacked them on the 3030. Going out Tuesday to Mt Magnet so will have a look - apparently there is some trash there... Good work Thanks Cheers BB -

The 7000 in spite of the weight. It is deadly on the little stuff and punches deep with the DoD 14 inch - the 20 inch should be something to behold. I was worried about the weight but after a week of swinging it is fine. I picked up the 5000 for a swing to check some targets - it was like a feather with the 17 inch mono .... If there is a lot of salty ground I would possibly reconsider - we found the 7000 was very unhappy in salty mineralized ground. Good luck Cheers BB -

Marty is the swing arm included as well? I thought I read in the manual that it is an accessory you can buy for it???? Cheers BB -
