Hi
Anyone had experience in using metal detectors to find gold etc.Any good links for a novice who might be suffering from gold fever now that it has hit $1040 an ounce.Looking for tips on how to find locations where gold is known to be found,trust me i wont spread the word p.m. me if you like.


Thanks

If you can find a book called 'Gold and Ghosts' online or at a detector shop it has a wealth of information as to where gold has been found.

This forum also has good info... http://finders.com.au/forum/viewforum.php?f=2

If you get serious I have a Minelab SD 2100 detector I could part with as I don't get to use it much these days.

Cheers

How much do you want for the minelab?

Hi i am interested in your detector price...............cheers.

Hi guys, until this post I hadn't thought about selling it or working out a price, but now the idea has arisen I realise I should sell it and let someone else get some pleasure out of it as I no longer can get out to use it.

I would have to get around $1800 for it for me to sell it as I know they regularly bring that price.

If anyone wants to buy it and it would help them, I am leaving WA next week and will be in Adelaide on the 16th October and Bacchus Marsh Vic a week later and could bring it with me to meet a buyer.

Cheers

Hi
is yours the same as this model on eBay for $1100?

I live in Adelaide if you want to give me a demo of the unit when you get here i might be interested .

now if anyone is interested I have the worlds largest collection of ringpulls thanks to my "gold detector" lot of fun but oh so frustrating, a damn good hobby when "out and about"

Has anyone actually found any gold with their detectors ?

yep i found my ring when I sat on my gold detector once, hang on, sorry, thats not gold is it!

Hi, did you notice the detector on Ebay last night, went for $1545.00...Cheers

If the buyer is lucky he may aspire to finding something like this......

Beats hell out of finding ring-pulls

Cheers

yep I seen that, unemployed 55 year old, I was sitting in the lounge at the car hire joint watching it and thought yep dole bludger strikes lucky again, us workers just keep on toiling, lucky sod, worth millions they reckon

correction to the above statement, he was not unemployed but was actually a disability pensioner, in which case, "good on him" I tried mine out again yesterday (scorpion gold stinger) went out to the ranges and had a walk around for a while, found an inaccessible spot, turned it on and started wandering around in ever increasing circles alarm goes off, excitedly starts digging, 2" another scan, 4" another scan, heart racing, maybe this time, 6" another scan 10" "RINGPULL" holy snappin behemoths I cant bloody win came home thoroughly disgusted, might sell mine yet

Last chance if anyone interested in the Minelab.  We are leaving tomorrow morning heading for SA / Vic. 

See you all on the road somewhere.

Dave, we will let you know when we are heading back, we may catch up for a pie.

Cheers
