    Jackpot in Australia

    Its been a long time since I posted anything to this forum but I just couldn't resist the opportunity to show our latest finds. I now know how the old gold prospectors felt when they first went into the Australian gold fields and found nuggets laying on the ground just ready for someone to pick...

    What does $200 in Aussie gold look like?

    Well, when its gold Australian $1 and $2 coins it looks pretty good sitting on the table in front of you and not bad for a few days detecting. Been on a dream holiday for the past 2 months travelling from bottom of Australia right to the very top, which for most of you non Aussie's out there is...

    Help needed with ring type

    Found this ring the other day, its one of those tri rings that when taken off the finger fall apart into a three link chain. Bugger of a puzzle to get it back together. At first sight I thought I had a gold ring but its not. To me it looks like copper or bronze but each segment of the ring is...

    Minelab 6" FBS coil

    I have come across a coil advertised for sale which is being advertised as a "Minelab 6" FBS coil to suit the Etrac". I thought the smallest coil that Minelab made for the Etrac was 8". Does anyone know anything about a 6" Minelab coil and if so what do you think of it. I'm looking at a small...

    :ausflag:SUCCESSFUL DAY AT BEACH

    Headed for our local beach today after a massive 5 metre swell overnight and boy did it do its job well, about a metre of sand was washed away and the place was just littered with coins. Found over 120 in the space of about 150 metres and in one square metre patch I must have pulled out about 10...

    :ausflag:HOW WELL DO AT's PERFORM IN AUSSIE GOLDFIELDS

    Just wondering if there is anyone on this forum who has used either the AT Gold or AT Pro in Australia to search for gold nuggets. I would like to know how they perform on our goldfields especially the Victorian goldfields but also in the more remote fields of the outback. I would especially...

    Value for money which gold detector

    Hi anyone, I'm sure similar questions have been asked on this forum many times before, but I would just like to see if there is some consensus of opinion out there as to which detector offers the best value for money when it comes to hunting for natural gold in Australia. I'm into coin hunting...

    :ausflag:Some Aussie silver

    After such a great day yesterday couldn't resist the urge to get out this evening and check out our local sports oval. Only put in about a hour but managed to pull out a couple of sixpences. They may both look the same but the 1944 one is 92.5% silver while the 1950 is only 50% silver so even...

    :ausflag:A GREAT DAY

    It been a long while since I've posted anything on this forum, probably because I don't get as much time to get out with the Etrac as I would like. Anyway finally got out for the day and went to a new location and boy did I have some fun. In fact my best day ever so just had to share the...

    Pin Pointer

    I'm thinking about purchasing a hand held Pin Pointer to assist with locating those pesky coins that can hide themselves in the dirt at times. Can anyone suggest which one they would consider to be the best? Thanks.

    English coin find on Aussie Beach

    Made this some what surprising discovery while detecting on one of our Australian beaches yesterday. Thought for a while I had found some very old and rare coin, it was very encrusted I could just make out "One Penny" but it was obviously a very different "One Penny" to the old Australian ones I...

    First gold for the E-Trac:ausflag:

    Headed back to my favourite beach to search an area that I thought should have some gold. Why, well there were many, many lead sinkers in this area, so the reasoning was that if the lead is gathering in this location then there must also be some gold. Well after digging up about 100 lead sinkers...

    New E-Trac finds:ausflag:

    Some of my first finds with my new E-Trac, I had a Quattro previously. Really beginning to love the E-Trac, its fast and pinpoints very accurately. Most of these coins were found in a few hours on the beach at low tide and were found in a very small area along with dozens of fishing sinkers...

    :ausflag:E-Trac beach finds

    Spent the afternoon at the beach today, just my second trip out with my new E-Trac. First trip I concentrated on the dry sand area and collected quite a few modern coins, enough to pay for the drive down to the beach anyway. Today the tide was out so I decided to give the low tide mark a go...

    Upgrading from Quattro. Explorer or E-Trac?

    I'm currently using a Quattro which I'm quite happy with except for its slow recovery, but have decided now is the time to upgrade to either the Explorer or the E-Trac. I've more or less made a decision on which way to go, but I'm sure their are plenty of you out there who have used each...

    :ausflag:Where do I find gold rings

    I would like to try and start finding some gold rings on the beach and I'm wondering which are the best locations to search. I know from other posts that its best to search the wet sand, but exactly where in the wet sand? Is it just below the high tide mark, right at the low tide mark or...

    My first rings:ausflag:

    Went detecting with the Quattro on one of our Aussie beaches the other day and found my first rings. Two nice silver ones.:wiggle: The one on the right gave a reading of 38/39 with a high tone in both ferrous & conductive audio. The one on the left gave a reading of 35 also with a high tone in...

    :ausflag:Upgrading to an E-Trac which coil?

    I'm currently using a Quattro which I've had a lot of fun with, but now I'm planning to upgrade to the E-Trac. One of this issues I have with the Quattro is it's slowness in recovery, especially when faced with several targets in close proximity. My questions to all you E-Trac users is: Can...

    Alternative to tones

    Seems to me that one of the problems a lot of people have with their Minelab detectors is the ability to recognize the sometimes slight differences in tones their machines produce on different targets. I have been thinking wouldn't it be great if we could download different sounds onto our...
