It is starting to get pretty hot in the Goldfields so if you are going out there now, make sure you have all your safety gear up to date particularly your satellite phone and personal EPIRB Locator Beacon and go plenty of water and provisions. Dont risk your life for a piece of metal! Minelab GPZ 19 Super-D Coil - Now in ShopsThe New GPZ Coil is now in your stores after many months of waiting. It was released on 14 November. Not sure what happened to the original timetable but this coil was supposed to be out many months ago. Apparently the GPZ 19 Super-D coil has been designed give a significant depth increase over the standard GPZ 14 coil. Here is a link to the product Brochure (Just Click on the Picture)
You know what, we will be buying one of course, but before the HypeDust settles, we want to try the coil out ourselves to make sure the claims made about depth and performance are correct. If you have a GPZ7000 purchased at the original price of $10700 prior to March 2016 you get the coil for $1295 not the regular $1795. How exceedingly generous of that mob. Contact your local Dealer. (Just after you re-mortgage the house!)

Return to Table of Contents Hearing Aids for DetectingIn our last newsletter I reported that I had started to wear hearing aids and needed to set them up for detecting.Over the past 6 weeks I have been involved in sampling on our gold mining lease and with a commitments to APLA for the AGM, so have not had much time to spend in the field testing detectors. The Hearing Aids Enable me now to Hear Target SignalsHowever - I can hear stuff now - especially metal detector target signals which I may have missed before. As you know the reality is that you must hear a signal before you can dig it! Another reality is that most people have some issues with hearing in particular older males - so any assistance you can get with hearing target signals the more chance you have of finding gold. In the past I have used boosters and speakers at my shoulders to ensure I hear target signals.The hearing aids I now wear are Phonak Over ear aids that are very confortable, completely hidden and connected to a PHONAK Compilot II Bluetooth Receiver. The main purpose of the Phonak bluetooth receiver/transmitter is to connect your mobile phone to your hearing aids so you can hear it and have hands free operation. BUT you can also get your Minelab 7000 paired to the phonak bluetooth receiver so it connects wireslessly to your Phonak hearing aids - This I will be doing before the next detecting season. Currently I am using the hearing aids by connecting an audio lead from the 2300 or 5000 to the phonak Bluetooth Compilot which then transmits the sound to my hearing aids enabling me to control the volume and hear many more targets with greater clarity. The 90 gram specimen that I reported on facebook was found very deep and it only has a small whisper of a signal (Minelab 5000 with the new Nuggetfinder Evolution 17x13 Mono Coil)

Overseas people are allowed to get WA miners rights. The main thing is to make sure you get a Miners Right each they are only $25 and currently last for life. Western Australian Miners Right. WHERE IS ALLOWABLE TO GO PROSPECTING IN WA? (TENGRAPH ONLINE)The other requirement is that you prospect on land that you are allowed to go and all that is covered on the website in pages on gold mining regulations and other pages. There is quite a bit of land under granted Exploration Tenements - these are massive tracts of land that big mining companies peg so they can be assured that they are protected when they spend prospecting dollars. These tracts of land can be prospected upon provided you have a Section 40E Permit so its pretty easy to get onto good land where you might find gold -its just a matter of researching for your prospecting areas. SECTION 40E PERMITSHere is the link to that page Section 40E Permits on Exploration Leases. You can read that in conjunction with the Tengraph Online Free Training Page, where you can Download our free training e book that will help you can understand about Tengraph online.
