    gold Monster 2000- dual PI and multi freq announced

    Heard some good positive things on this thing here in Oz. Going deeper on the sub'is than other VLFs in bad hot ground. Apparently its killer within the first 4 inches. According to reliable reports its more than just an ole ho hum VLF or SMF. Jonathon Porter here in OZ is giving it pretty...

    New Nokta PI

    Hi. Its bigger than most people think. Its big here in Australia and the US. What lots don't realize is how huge it is in Africa. Its been huge there for a decade and a half. One will notice the Islamic writing on the Minelab Gold Monsters, its there for a reason. I guess too it makes the world...

    What kind of rock is this?

    Clear and whitish parts appear quartz. Rear section almost bluestone looking.

    Beginner but serious with a hunting goal. What are excellent detectors to go down 24” deep? Thanks in advance for solid recommendations.

    That depth your looking at a Pulse Induction with a coil around 15" round upwards and targets roughly the size of a coke can top round, or average jar lid flat. Can go deeper in quiet ground but im saying from my experience using a Minelab GPX 5000 and 15 to 19 inch coil. A GPX 4500 will do it...

    Any word on the new reveal from Nokta?

    Me too. First release they say is the Gold detecting version, later the Relic one.

    which has been your favorite garrett?

    Hi, sorry for the late reply, im typically on and off the net for weeks. It was a long time ago I had it, pre Pulse induction and around the time the first auto trackers from minelab came out the GTs. Getting it to run stable is the main thing to aim for. Like all machines start low or high in...

    Bandito 2 and Eldorado u-max comparison

    I owned an Eldorado and found its audio quite unique. Gold nuggets gave a distinctive kind of buzz. Unfortunately it didn't have a wide enough ground balance range in our bad ground in Australia. The concentric coil was useless. The DD was better but it still never got a proper gb here.

    New Detectors?

    Think the new Nokta PI will be called the Magnetar. This was registered in Australia last September by Nokta. https://search.ipaustralia.gov.au/designs/search/details/202418550?s=36bee8d3-dfb3-4561-a1b8-139de37ed271 The hint is mid 2025 release.

    New Detectors?

    I hate that crap, they know people are thinking new detectors.

    705 incoming

    Still a great detector. I still have mine. My coils of choice are the 18.75 khz 10" elliptical and 6" DDs. I never use discrimination. That way I know exactly how much rubbish I'm amongst and when to slow right down and pick through it. Love seeing repeatable tones and solid numbers not jumping...

    Made A Video On How To Use The Square Le'Trap Gold Pan

    I used to have one of those years ago and thought it was great. It ended up breaking though after a while unfortunately.

    Whites 24k knockoff

    Hi. Do you mean the legit Garrett are 7lb or the fakes? The legit is 3.6 lb or thereabouts.

    New Detectors?

    I'm certainly hoping so. If it is I'll be getting the gold one. Have been waiting waiting waiting for its release for ages.

    Nokta Pulse

    Hi. There's been issues and it wont be released until sometime in 2025. I wouldn't be surprised to see it not come out until mid next year. I think they jumped the gun a bit saying it was coming sooner.

    Gone Back To A NEW Nox 800.

    After all these years they still don't get proper ergonomics. All they need to do is have a contoured top section of the handle that allows the detector to sit there comfortably instead of the control box sitting on top of your closed hand. One would have thought the guy who used to work for...

    Yellow Stuff

    Its all good. They are wonderful things to own. Especially if you know the back story from them. 👍 I have a half gram nugget I was sent by a friend there in the US 20 plus yrs ago, he also sent me a US gold prospecting club badge with a little nugget on it. I cherish them both. He was a member...

    Yellow Stuff

    Ok. I years ago sold rich gold specimens to a guy going to the USA for a big gold expo thing. When he came back he said "yours sold the first day". I was happy, he gave me a great price for them above simple value and was happy they are there in someone's collection. Someone there owns specimens...
