    triple lead for charging

    My original triple lead stopped charging anything after not a lot of work, and the end result is the plug pack get very hot. Purchased a XP car charging kit really just to get a replacement triple lead and that one has failed after a few charge cycles. Back to using the single lead for charging...

    Charging remote

    Wondering if any V4 users have noticed that when charging the coil, remote and headphones that the remote charging bars don't go to a solid line when fully charged but keep moving. I removed the remote from the charger after 3 hours and when turned on it shows a full charge. I know of one other...

    Is this from a motor vehicle?

    I dug up this chrome covered brass object which is about 5 inches in diameter. It appears it was once held by three bolts and I was wondering if anyone recognises the design. My best guess is either it comes from a cycle or an old car. Regards John

    Sensitivity experiment

    I don't know if other Quattro users have tried detecting with the sensitivity at the lowest setting but I tried it for 3 hours at a sports ground I have detected before. In the past I have concentrated on the $1 and $2 coins but this time went for all the denominations. The pull tabs and screw...

    09 pre decimal finds

    Just a couple of photos of the pre decimal I have found this year, nothing outstanding but I haven't posted for a while. A lot better start to the year than last year but that could be because it was too hot to detect on the days I had a day off last January and I don't usually detect much at...

    Farm finds

    These finds don't have much in the way of value, but I am guessing they are mostly very old. The finds come from 2 visits and quite a bit of lead was also dug up. The areas detected were around various outbuildings on the property away from the main house. The property has been farmed since the...

    Lead Seal

    Can anyone tell me what the initials H & C (or is it a G) might have stood for on this lead seal. On the back of the seal wire can be seen running through the lead but it is not very far into the lead. There is an anchor symbol in the centre at the front. Regards John

    Final silver for 06

    Has anyone had one of those times when you found a coin that must have been waiting for you? Most Sunday mornings a friend and I detect for an hour or two at our local Show Ground. Last Sunday just before I got to where I was going to cease detecting I got a signal that I assumed was a 1 or 2...

    flag on button

    I am curious about the flag on this button and whether it represents something. There appears to be a central star at the top and bottom and a small cross on either side between the wavy lines. The bird has two feathers or a crest partly sticking out from the back of its head. From a search on...

    Hat badge

    Hello all, Had a nice find on Sunday afternoon, my first Rising Sun hat badge. Before and after pics attached, it is a pity the lower scroll was bent as much as it is. Both loops on the back are intact though.This particular design is version 3, in use from 1904 to 1948 and the badge I found is...

    USA items

    These two objects, found in Australia, came from a friend and he would like to know what the round object might be. It was found in the gold fields of Victoria which would possibly date it from 1860's. The size is about 29mm diameter. Can any one date the shaving stick surround. This was not...

    Went back to the site where I had found my oldest coins, being two 1806 English pennies.Got a signal that could have been a silver coin and not far down I found a coin sized object with a hole in it like it had been worn around someone's neck. The one clear part of the coin was the date, 1765...

    Quattro performance

    Has anyone used their Quattro in a detecting competition or coin hunt where it has been pitted against other types of detectors, and if so how did it stack up. Chapter 11 of "Mastering The Quattro" covers competition hunts so I assume the Quattro can be successfully used in a hunt despite the...

    Former house site

    Yesterday (9th) I went to the site of an old house for the second time and had a good couple of hours despite the flies. The first find was most unusual, a signal that was quite long when pinpointing, it turned out to be a metal fife which I can't get to make a sound yet.As far as coins go I was...

    Aussie Wheaties

    Hello to all. With the past mentions of Wheaties puzzling me I Googled it and found out what they were. I am posting a photo of last years finds of 3d as they are the closest coin to what we could call a wheatie regarding design, but contain 92.5% silver up to 1946. The other coin is my biggest...
