11” ultra-light and ultra-tough FBS DD Coil
Minelab’s Multiple Frequency Full Band Spectrum (FBS) technology is the only technology in the world that provides detectorists with both deep detection and deep precision discrimination, regardless of ground conditions and target type. Serious treasure hunters understand that every outing is a unique moment in time that needs to be enjoyed and maximised. Minelab’s
Explorer SE Professional
will handle varying conditions with maximum results! The
Minelab Explorer SE is now supplied with a new 11” FBS coil. This
coil is slightly larger but more lightweight. It has extra support
struts for more strength & stability. The
NEW 11” FBS coil will shortly
be available as an accessory and is compatible with all Explorer
& Quattro models. http://www.mlotv.com/view/290/a-first-look-at-the-new-minelab-se-coil/ Price: $1825.00 (Including GST) Please contact us for our SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE ! ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. May 2008 "LOAMING FOR GOLD"
Loaming for Gold is an Australian prospecting icon.
First published in 1934, it is now in its fourth edition (2008) Reprint with new material with a Foreword and Biographical notes by Bob Sheppard.
The author discovered over 100 gold mines, large and small, using the techniques described in this book. In the huge auriferous areas of Australia much more remains to be found by prospectors, both amateur and professional.
The potential is immense and the techniques can be mastered by almost anyone. This book is the fabled ‘map’ to your own gold mine. Price: $25.00 (Including GST & Postage) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update: May 2008 NEW ! MINELAB GPX - 4500 METAL DETECTOR
The NEW Minelab GPX - 4500 Metal Detector is NOW AVAILABLE ! For all the full information on this detector please view our MINELAB METAL DETECTOR page ... just click on METAL DETECTORS at the top of this page. For our special SPECIAL PRICE ... just click on to METAL DETECTOR WEB SUPER SPECIALS at the top of this page. A QUICK OVERVIEW The GPX-4500 is the ultimate gold finding detector with new added features that makes it stronger and more versatile than ever before. No matter if you’ve never picked up a detector before, the GPX-4500 has automatic functions and pre-set search modes that make you an expert in a matter of moments. Quieter operation, louder target signals, improved discrimination, and more versatile, the GPX-4500 is the gold detector that gives the best results ....... therefore ....... Why would you walk around with a lesser detector and find less gold nuggets?
NEW GPX-4500
FEATURES
• NEW TIMINGS so the GPX-4500 is even more versatile. Users of the GPX-4000 have learnt just how valuable it is to have a range of timings to optimise the performance of the detector. In addition to the four timings found on the previous model, the GPX-4500 now introduces two new timings, Enhance & Sharp. The new Enhance timing is a powerful feature, similar to the Sensitive Smooth timing, but provides an improvement in the depth and signal response on small and larger targets. The Sharp timing is more suited to quieter soils and can also be used for pin-pointing. •
NO-FUSS DETECTING WITH PRE-PROGRAMMED SEARCH
MODES The GPX-4500 offers pre-programmed search modes, for easy ‘switch-on & go’ detecting. In addition to the General and Deep search modes are four others, Hi Mineral; Hi Trash; Patch and Test A modes. All 6 search modes can also be modified with your favourite settings and renamed. • GB (Ground Balance) OFF for neutral soils. When searching in non-mineralised solis, ground balance can be switched off to give increased depth. This setting will be popular for treasure and relic hunters in loam or sandy soils. • BACKLIGHT so you can read the LCD menu in any light, day or night. The backlight has adjustable time-out to preserve battery life. • STABILIZER for the smoother threshold. The Stabilizer function is a fine tuner that gives the operator full control over the threshold stability. After all other functions are set, you will use the Stabilizer to give fine adjustment for a smoother threshold and the ability to pick up the faintest of signals. •
TARGET VOLUME ... Target Volume
allows you to increase the strength of softer target signals. This is
useful for very windy conditions; for people suffering from hearing
loss; and to adjust the audio volume when using external speakers.
This is a powerful feature, and will work in conjunction with the
Stabilizer control, giving you the ultimate in fine tuning ability. • IMPROVED DISCRIMINATION gives you access to the worst of trashy ground. When detecting in a high-trash area like a mining site or a campground, the Iron Reject function allows the operator to set the desired level of discrimination, from cautious to aggressive. This will assist detecting in areas that have previously been rejected due to the quantity of Ferrous junk. •
BUILT - IN AMPLIFIER allows you to
hear soft target signals from deeper nuggets, more easily. The newly
designed Li-Ion battery pack now has an audio amplifier built
in, which boosts target signals, if using an external amplifier. The
design of the amplifier and the use of high-quality low noise
components ensure the signal response is clear and crisp, without the
added background hum of some boosters. SETA
technology allows each timing to operate independently and much more
efficiently so that deep and small hard to hear nuggets become more
obvious. “Testing the GPX-4500
was a real eye-opener, even in the worst ironstone infested soils. The
new Enhance timing is truly great, as ground noises are virtually non
existent, yet it is super sensitive, and punches deep. The Hi Trash
search mode is a big improvement, as it makes it much easier to reject
ferrous junk. The other new feature that I love is the Stabilizer, as
it allows me to get the audio as smooth as I want it. No negative
comments from me, this machine is HOT!”

The size and composition of some of Australia's coins could be changed because of the soaring cost of copper and nickel. For the first time, the metal value of the 5c, 10c and 20 cent coins, which are made of the alloy cupro-nickel, will this year overtake their face values. The metal content of the 10c, 20c and 50 cent pieces is already worth more than the metal in the $1.00 & $2.00 coins, which are made of aluminium bronze. The 5 cent coin has a metal cost of 4.89 cents and the 10 cent coin 9.78 cents and the 20 cent coin 19.56 cents. The metal cost of the $1 coin is only 8.3 cents; the $2 coin is only 6.1 cents. (These figures are derived from the Royal Australian Mint contracts made late 2007.) With copper and nickel prices up about 30%, some new coins will cost more to make than face value. So ... all of you treasure hunters out there ... hang on to those coins ... don't spend them ! ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. end |
