Buddy along with my pin-pointer, you definitely also deserve an ultra new one Great

I think among all the air conditioner spares of buddies, he will have just the right size tube for the probe, oh and he will not mind you having a couple of pieces Clapp

he is a good Brother-in-Law Kiss

Hope you are ready for Sunday afternoon Wise

should be interesting, maybe must take a spade with as there is a mound there also which needs digging as I did find a couple of pieces there, ah, not even sure I own a spade anymore as I have a garden service here Hello

Me will bring fire water and pin-pointer Grin

Too big for my liking so I'm going to re design it using SMT and a 12v camera battery to run it.

Hi ArfieBoy

Yes we are going to one of Peters sites so not sure what to expect soil wise though, it could be highly mineralised if that is the case then this pin-pointer will not do the job as it will pick up the iron (That's what I think) all the air tests are good not as good as I would have liked them to be but I was in a hurry to finish it so that at least Peter has a pin-pointer that can detect more than 10mm. This one detects a copper coin a 50mm (Flat) but on it's side only 10mm. I don't do much testing with ferrous metals mostly copper, silver and lead and these tests are OK for now or at least to get BAD old Peter going for now.

well done X, cannot wait to test that pin-pointer out Great

at least we will know what needs adjusting etc, so should be fun. There is some snow forcast for the northern Cape etc, so the weekend is going to be friggin cold Shame

But detecting is not just for hot days Shocked

NO but thanks for letting me know Grin

Ho by the way talking about nuts this morning I loaded two of my bulls to take them to the abattoirs (One at a time) it looks small on the photo but it's quite big for a two year old bull. It took me three hours to get him on the trailer, my self and another helper were nearly hit by him now that was nuts if only I could get a video of the event. (Must buy a DV cam)
