  1. True the QED has a control to select either depth or sensitivity, it needs it as it is a single channel Pi, the E1500 has two channels one for sensitivity and one for depth thus like most modern gold PIs. I know burying targets to test any detectors/coils ability is not a true indication of their depth/sensitivity/GB ability that undisturbed field gold is. I`ve found the E1500 is a very capable all-round gold detector that punches well above its cost, even by the time you add a battery and a couple of modern mono coils of around an ounce. The very first gold VLF I bought in 79 cost a little over 2 ounces.
  2. The E1500 has good depth on 0.5gram nuggets and up with the 12"Rnd Evo, like all detectors before it since year one the coil size determines its depth as much or more than the detectors technology, large coils for depth applies to all. Now if I was a younger fellow and could swing monster coils (anvils) I`d forget the claim the E1500. the 6K, the Axiom or any other detector are only for shallow small gold because that attitude just does not stack up out in the field. So if all you can afford is an E1500 and a small coil and a large coil plus you swing out on prospective fringe ground persistently, shallow or deep applying the above good sense positive attitude, chances are you`ll find enough to upgrade to say a ZVT.
  3. Age dictates to me a need for a lightweight wireless detector that uses non-chipped lightweight mono coils. An unchipped fixed GB option 6K is on track or if ML persists with chipped coils the E2500.
  4. I don`t think so, can recall way back it was said the mono could not be improved on being such a simple coil, spiral monos brought the PIs right back barking at the Zs heels until X coil lifted it. Who doesn`t love the aftermarket coil on their 6K, imagine how much better it could be without that chip forcing aftermarket fellows to adhere to MLs marketing regime.
  5. Yeah there`s a reason why these areas are so difficult to get into, it just isn`t wise for local detector operators to broadcast either their locations and their finds or for Property Owners to repair the tracks. Nor wise to drive off the tracks either because every Tom, Dick & Harry will follow your tracks, and as Geof_J posted it isn`t wise to take out any sort of title as that just broadcasts where you are. Leave just footprints and cover your holes as best you can or you`ll be followed. All you need in QLD is a current Fossickers License and the Property Owners private permission to fossick on their land, as set out by that Fossicking License. That area is not too remote. Just the rambling of an old time FNQer, as Geof_J also posted tis an adventure take it as such and enjoy magic remote FNQ.
  6. The lure of making big money by having lots follow your vids along with pumping your ego, is the go. I followed one for a bit because I wished to support but judging by the continual 'bombardment' on mobile by 'allied' 'followers' that one is making money. It is wise to follow none and not support what will turn to a corrupt pyramid type scheme when/if successful. Of course the great majority are just pie in the sky dreamworld stuff.
  7. All Trents fault he nicked off to WA.
  8. A book dedicated to Bruce Schuler, a family man and Detectorsorist who was murdered on Palmerville Station back in 2012, is available that writes about the court case and subsequent sentencing of two for Bruces murder. Struberville: Consequences of Isolation by Monte Dwyer | Goodreads
  9. Good eye candy but I wish these people broadcast elsewhere and not in my part of OZ, the troubles caused to the land owners by these vids and the consequences us locals pay for such are beyond belief. I do note if they settle down up here their vids are no longer broadcast, reason being they suffer those consequences I talk about. I feel no animosity towards these people just sadness that such openness cannot be displayed without serious consequences. Gold brings out the best in mans ingenuity, the worst in his nature. I apologize Steve for being negative here but it needs to be said, please remove if you believe I`ve gone too far.
  10. Suspect a fair few 'jockeys' will find the E1500 is all the 'horse' they need on their 'course'.😉
  11. Thank You Au, Chet will be PMing you so as we can share info 3 way.
  12. OK if I go with 2x0.25" Divinycel, form the coil (spiral/flat) and fix and position on one half of the divinycel, adhere the 2 divinycel half's together then paint the shield top and bottom giving that 0.25" gap from windings. Recommended litz wire and shield paint too please Chet?
  13. OK coil winders ??? Does the proximity/size of the shield influence the induction of the windings? and to what extent adds or takes away from value?... shield passive and active extent same or different?
  14. As KL gifts, even more so when they are the indicators to a new patch.
