Hi guys,
Took the Legend out on its maiden voyage yesterday to the Golden Triangle.

Hi all been messing around with the Minelab 900
Have watched a heap on YouTube and I can't seem to be able to use it
I can find nails and bottle tops and that would be great if I was building something but more after using it for the gold hunting side of things
Is there anyone around Dalton Canberra Yass area that would be willing to help a newbie out ??
Would be happy to pay for a lesson even
Cheers everyone ..read more

Have a 14x9 Golderstalker from a 5000 that I purchased, looking to use it on SWMBO's E1500 at Tib, or would a 14x9 Evo be a better choice?
Regardles of the detector in use eg 4500/5000 etc which is the better coil in your experience. ( mild mineralization)
So your comment doesent get Rohan Offside ( Barry modified my & wifes Minelab15000's in the 80's) or Trevor at Coiltek , known him for unmpteen years +10, PM me with your views.
Thanks ..read more
