    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?

    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...

    Mushrooms and Fungis

    I will. Im hoping some native berries type things will be out soon. They are very small but very sweet and high in vitamin c. Im going to keep an eye out also for some of our small flowering plants in the bush where I am as I never knew they had edible tubors.

    Mushrooms and Fungis

    Hi. I looked it up and he died from something else not eating a bad mushroom. He had some syndrome and died from an aneurism. https://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/euell-gibbons-43151.php I do appreciate warnings to be careful though 👍

    Comparing old technology and new with same size coil

    On the coil front of things, with Pulse detectors for gold a number of coil manufacturers started making flat, or spiral wind coils. Take the mono coils up until then, all the windings were bunched up like say finger or sausage shape, to give an idea. Nugget Finder put out a 12 inch before the...

    Mushrooms and Fungis

    Hi yeah I know what you mean about seeing a picture and then actually trying them. Iv tried some of our native berries, im a bit nervous about some of the fungis though. Id heard of this book ages ago and that it was good.

    Mushrooms and Fungis

    Hi guys. I recently got a book I was after for yrs. Its edible things in our Bush, country, you can find. In it I was surprised to see a mushroom fungis that I always, because I didn't know, thought was toxic. Apparently its not and is called Slippery Jack. It's not native here but was...

    Think im the only 24k user here!

    Yes I got the 6" shipped from Serious Detecting USA and a cover for it from another state here in Australia. Unfortunately they dont have the cover for the 10x6. These guys do though. They have the 10x6 but wont sell or ship to me here in Australia. I don't get why, I even offered to pay double...
