  1. Yeah its in your best interests to stop posting about it if you are going to continue doing it, as the majority of the Island is National park and off limits to all fossicking. We as prospectors find it hard enough without people openly breaking the rules.
  2. Yeah Minelab has delivered on every product that has been released in I dont know how long. I want one for sure.
  3. I have used a Camelbak military HAWG for the past 3 years and its bullet proof. 3 litre bladder and heaps of room I would say one of the best day packs on the market. It is a heavy pack for its size but it is made of heavy duty material and huges zips, yet to have one fail. And they are all clam shell opening so you can get to contents without digging.
  4. Dont ask him, that scoundrel is out digging the stuff!
  5. This is Molly, we love our little Dashy, she comes coin hunting. She has not been gold detecting yet, dont know whether she has enough clearance for where we go ha ha.
  6. I used the 10X all last season partly because it was new and the wet season made a lot of grass so partly because of necessity. But I found I could get it to run quite when I needed to when patch hunting but also could make it as noisy as and produce gold just about every where I poked the thing. It sure does not like General/Difficult but HY/Difficult no dramas. But towards the end of the season running that thing in manual ground balance and controlling the coil in normal was getting gold I believe no other machine or coil combo would even come close to touching even the GPZ14.
  7. Well done. Yeah the 10X does look funny on the end of the Z but wow its good.
  8. Yes 100% swing arm as coil control is where the extra gold is found and helps smash things out the way too 🙂
  9. I know this goes against all info on the Z but have been running the X coils in Manual ground balance using the track button and pumping the coil up and down like the old X and has made using normal a little more achievable. As using the 10 inch in normal has given some amazing results with lots of smaller but deep gold.
  10. Yeah the 10 inch is quite sensitive to the hot rock but only in Normal, in difficult you get the occasional one but no more than the GPZ14.
  11. Yeah I have used the 10 xcoil pretty much the entire season. Amazing coil all be it quite noisy and touch sensitive but able to use it in Normal and Manual ground balance the depth this thing can get sub grammers is almost beyond belief and just its size to be able to get places basically make the SDC redundant. Cannot imagine the 10 coming off unless on open ground or fires burn out some grass.
  12. Basically I do anything that will allow me to run in normal. Lower volume, sensitivity what ever it takes. Difficult when patch hunting but if gridding always normal and nut out the ground noise. So to answer your question yes less everything if it allows Normal.
  13. Yeah thats fascinating with reversing of the spiral to make it tight. Makes you wonder how someone came up with the concept, more than likely by accident.
