    Need help with identification.

    Looks for all the world like a Chinese Jade medallion. They can be worth quite a good bit of money. Shame the damage, but if it is one it could still be valuable.

    X-terra 705 still a great machine in 2023

    Hi. The 705 is the best of the older Xterra range for sure. I also have a Garrett 24k these days which I use on the gold and am waiting on a wait list for a new AlgoForce E1500, 3 weeks to go for it thereabouts which is a newly released PI gold detector. But I will never part with the 705 for...

    X-terra 705 still a great machine in 2023

    Hi iv used one for gold plenty of times. The 18.75 khz coils are the go for it. I use mine now for relic hunting and coins but I can say it is a decent little gold machine. When it first came out I used it a lot on the Victorian Goldfields here in Australia. It was is great on specimens. These...

    Any other Garrett 24k users here using it for Gold?

    Hi, yes he was and a good one too. I think I might be going for that too. Light, sensitive and finally a PI that is affordable to many more people. Im really liking the whole concept of it.👍🏼

    New Aussie Pulse Induction Gold Detector

    Hi guys, just became aware of this today. Ultra lightweight and ultra sensitive. And cheap. Made by an ex Minelab guy. Very very interesting. https://algoforce.com.au/products/algoforce-e1500-standard

    which has been your favorite garrett?

    Mine was a Garrett Groundhog Money Hunter. Was my late fathers and I found my first nugget with it, 4 1/2 grams.

    Any other Garrett 24k users here using it for Gold?

    Its a bummer when its excessive. I once had a GMT that went off on anything, it drove me mad trying not to tap anything. There was a batch of coils for it that were really badly made, mine had one of those. When I got one of the later coils it was much quieter. You could tell the difference...

    Any other Garrett 24k users here using it for Gold?

    Hi. I don't know anybody here with a GMX, iv never even seen one other than in pictures. Its very different here in Australia country Victoria where I am. I have never seen being used by anybody a Whites 24k nor a Garrett 24k. Mostly its PI detectors or ML Gold monsters. I used to use the PIs...

    Any other Garrett 24k users here using it for Gold?

    Hi. I am yet to see an Axiom where I am. Im in a small town in the Victorian goldfields. We got a post office and thats it. Id have to travel hrs to a shop to see one. I stay away from the cities these days. A little dd like the 6x4 would be good. I had to buy the 6" whites from the USA it cost...

    Any other Garrett 24k users here using it for Gold?

    Hi, yeah its a pleasure to use really. My favourite vlf on gold. Still use my trusty Xterra on the relics though.

    Any other Garrett 24k users here using it for Gold?

    Slow getting back sorry. I get no real knock sensitivity on the 10 or the 6 inch. Now and then a tiny bit with the 10 but its nothing annoying, no more than any coil on any other machine if I hit a rock or branch on the ground. The only time it does actually get noisy and hyper sensitive is in...

    Dirt lunch

    Me too. I saw them for years on finds here. Finally about 12 yrs ago, thereabouts, i found one here in Australia. Our ground isn't kind to anything other than gold and high silver content. In the Victoria Golfields where I live in the Golden Triangle, coppers get destroyed just laying there. But...

    Any other Garrett 24k users here using it for Gold?

    Like the title. Anyone using one for it. Hard to find people using one. I do, 50/50 time with the 10x6 and 6" concentric. Great VLF. Anyone?

    Personally I prefer peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. But hey, love the Indian Head!

    Could the X-terra Pro be a disguised twin frequency

    I still have an Xterra 705 and I struggle to see how this is an Xterra! Its just a cheaper version to fill a gap by Minelab of their machines like the Equinox. Not cheaper as in its no good but a cheaper version of say the Nox, trading on the great reputation of the actual Xterras. Draw in...
