The paddle idea has been around for awhile for those who knew.  Nice looking rig.  I do like the Bruce Willis vibe you have.  LOL.

Both days are outdoors.

First day is $300.00, Second day is $100.00, per person. Some discounts apply. Both days are each about six hours.

First day: many subjects; contact zones, natural and manmade indicators, intrusions, upheavals, line gold, pocket gold, old diggings, seam diggings, geological patterns…we will talk for about three hours.

but not until I passed the initiation of sniffing and licking the Coprolite he kept near the front door.?

That Coprolite seen a lot of tongue.  LOL.    His business card had everything covered from Elephant trainer to Bordello inspector. 

I remember John showing me a photo of his dining room table covered with gold nuggets.  I wish I could remember his website.   He found many pounds of gold.

He will be missed.  For as rough as he came across he had a heart of pure gold.  I don't know how many steak dinners he paid for at the outings but it was a lot.  His pointy finger got me my first piece of gold, I will always be grateful for that.  

Its a Lincoln Continental.

He talks about new detectors around the 6:36 mark.   One is for deep gold.

I just finished watching Woody's latest video, very interesting indeed. He's saying there is a new detector coming out this year that will be far better than anything available at the moment.

Yes it mentioned that in a earlier video, the one where he is sitting in his car looking at the E1500 on his phone.  A lot of people missed the part where he was talking about a new detector coming out besides the E1500.   He also mentioned on his forum a while back that he was making a detector, whether or not this is what he is talking about time will tell.

Many thanks that does look like the battery kit that i am after,the biggest problem possibly is shipping to the UK....thanks again for your help and suggestion.

 Yea the batteries may be an issue but you should be able to get those there in the UK.   Maybe ask on the main forum I know some members make their battery systems.

I don't have Doc's but I do have Coiltek's Pocket Rocket system.  Basically the same without the amp.  Coiltek stop making these years ago.  Yes they are a lot lighter than the Minelab's brick.   

I did find these a few months ago.   https://detectormods.com/shop/63/lightweight-battery-kit

I'm sure a shortage of GPX coils is coming,

That was coming when Minelab discontinued the 5000..   I wouldn't be surprised if the E1500 saved a few jobs at both Coiltek and NF.

With all the circuit boards that I have, which are bad, I will be looking into this because I know there is a lot of gold contacts and plating used on most of the boards I have for my equipment.

There is a lot less gold than you think.

100% this! Nice and stretchy, locks the cable in place, and comes off clean. Any sticky residue is easily removed with a bit of WD40 on paper towel.

Look into Self Fusion tape.  Zero residue.  It is more expensive than electrical tape so may not be a good choice if your changing coils a lot.   I have been using this Fusion (Silicone) tape for years.

Looks like the 2nd round are about 4 weeks out and they are taking pre-orders for you folks in Australia and NZ.

DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS

As new technology is developed and improves upon the performance of our current product range, Minelab discontinues our older product models. These products are listed on this page for your reference.

We aim to service and support all of our older products for as long as possible. All products are supported for a period of at least 5 years after they are discontinued. Unfortunately, with some of these older detectors it becomes impossible to source the parts required for service work and so the detectors eventually become uneconomical to repair.

  That statement has been on their site for years.   There have been a lot of changes in the world in the last couple of years.

 I also wouldn't be surprised if the 5000 gets discontinued worldwide in the coming months.

Damn, I thought he must have one and was going to show it in action, all I got was a guy sitting in his car waffling at the website.

Yea so did I.  I did find it interesting that he mentions other detectors in the works.

It looks as if it is a mobile phone stuck on a stick, is this the detector that woody was mentioning? In one of his YouTube videos he was saying not to sell old Minelab coils as there is going to be a large demand for the old coils.

He also talks about other detectors coming out.  Around the 6:38 mark.    

They are sold out.  Anyone know how many they made?  Curious on how many are out there.
