    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...

    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...

    Most forums are slower these days. Its all make yourself a legend on youtube for likes and follows and influencers (kaching) and facebook stuff. Good luck when you get out 👍

    A new Christian Id say the start of the New Testament. But otherwise yes from Genesis but also get yourself some good trusted commentaries. Mathew Henry is good.

    Detectival

    I don't think a find at a hunt means much at all as to wether things are planted or not. Here a number of yrs ago there was a token hunt with tokens planted. A guy I know found a 2 ounce nugget whilst hunting for the tokens. They certainly didn't plant the nugget but they did the tokens.

    Anyone tried this with their detectors

    I wonder if the Aussie AlgoForce carbon fibre shaft is an issue. I had one and couldn't understand why it had sensitivity up to 30 yet anything above 20 saw it go too chattery to use. I know too high sens in certain ground of course does this but this was in the air, on the ground anywhere. 21...

    Nokta Triple Score and Minelab Elite tested on the Beach in salt water.

    Yeah, they all seem to be obsessed with heavy submersible open web coils. Great for hunting around water but for dry land and in forest type areas they are a pain being unnecessarily heavy and getting caught up in sticks and undergrowth. The Nox was ok in gold mode when I had it but ridiculous...

    Nokta Triple Score and Minelab Elite tested on the Beach in salt water.

    Is a common issue these days with the modern design of a pod,screen control box, no rear battery box to counter balance things and heavy submersible coils. I had a Nox 800 and found it too fatiguing. The coil felt like lugging around a brick after several hours. There's a big difference between...

    On/Off button

    I had an AlgoForce that the dual purpose buttons annoyed me. I'd quick press yet now n then it would respond like id done a long press and go into something or do something I didn't want it to. The dual purpose buttons and the issues I had saw me lose confidence in it overall and I got rid of it.

    The Welcome Stranger Nugget from Moliagul Victoria Australia. Found in the 1800s just 15 minutes drive from where I live. "Considered by most authorities to be the biggest gold nugget ever found, the Welcome Stranger was found at Moliagul, Victoria, Australia in 1869 by John Deason and Richard...
