I made a point of taking all my lead home from all trips when I weight some of the lead that I melted.It just exceeded 5 stone a bit more than the "Hand of Faith" but it was worth a very small fraction of the "Hand of Faith" so I stopped digging it up taking it all home. ?

Reg Wilson Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I collect all lead detected. I recently sold a bucketful to a guy who does lead lighting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Catcher Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Magnets help only for surface trash. What I dont want is to dig 1-2 feet holes only to find iron trash. At this depth the gold is likely > 1g so a probability meter might perhaps work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Catcher Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Agreed and this problem will always remain, its part of the game. But a few less deep holes dug at 100 deg F would make the experience more enjoyable...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeping Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I saw last years investor presentation and it was saying the 7000 was only midway through its expected production lifespan. True or not I don’t know. I agree it’s an arms race to find gold these days. I just hope my 7000 ‘investment’ will last a few more years. New coils are a lot cheaper that new detectors! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RedDirtDigger Posted January 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2020 Been detecting heaps ever since the 2100. Reading about rumours of new ML gold detectors have wasted about a year of my life and given me brain damage. (Not as bad as following QED threads though). I will buy any new high priced ML high end gold detector because i will pay it off in the field. I just want ML to fix their ongoing design faults and actually talk to testers before they finalise the hardware rather then just getting the testers to check software. Next model and coils must be lighter weight. ML, After all these years please increase shaft length for tall people. Please give use a robust charger and use wiring for charger leads that is thick and not the lowest spec useable.(all our cigi lead wires shorted out after minimal use on Zed). For the price you charge for your gold detectors, a padded control box cover should be supplied so your loyal customers can protect their large investment. This would really show your commitment to quality and customers. cheers RDD 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
