Some easy tips to help out newbies, please add to my few.

Just going through my gear making sure everything is ok and thought id post a few tips that I have come across.
I used to struggle disconnecting the bungy at times so was shown how to fix that problem.

To stop your battery lead from swinging around and eventually breaking, which does happen, just slip it through the detector cover.

The best tip I think I ever got was to buy a booster, i was on my way out for a few days prospecting when in my quad bike trailer a water container smashed and filled the bottom of the trailer, my harness with booster, battery and speaker all got saturated so i headed back to camp, pulled them apart to dry for a few hours in the WA sun [boy i miss that ] put them back together and never had a problem with them after that.

I love night detecting so i wanted a pretty good head lamp, i paid $95 for this one online at snowys outdoors, and even though it takes 4 double A batteries its a ripper. I also have a cheap headlamp as it has a red light, sometimes the bugs can get annoying at night and for some reason their not attracted to the red light, the red lights are used so when turning off the light you still have night vision and your eyes don't have to adjust to the darkness. I didn't know that until recently.

When not using the detector or travelling i have it stored in this case, its strong and the WA dust doesn't get inside, i can fit 3 coils inside it as well, 14" round, 11" round and the little sadie, for around $300 its good protection for an expensive $6,500 detector

Where did you get the case and lining from? Looking for something like that.

Swan hill detectors use to sell them--about $300 give or take.

We both use B&Z Boosters, when we pass over a target we switch from "boost" to "bypass."
Much easier on the ears and a little more private.  

Two loops attached to the "D,s" on the harness and then the bungee is supported by both shoulders.
Small pick hung from chest. All you need for WA gold. 
(And yes the chair for when you want a rest) Thought I better add this before Ray reads it.

Yep Cliff, solargoldaustralia is the same fella who owns goldsearchaustralia in Dunolly.
These cases are very strong and well built.
When on long trips they can be stored under all your other gear, away from prying eyes.
Nice work Nightjar.

havnt seen that fuel transfer on a Gerry , makes it easy , tho I made a home made one for 44s ,same principal , beats using the hand pump ,stocked up when the fuel was at the right price ..  

Some good tips here fellas. Wish someone had told me about tucking the cord up , snapper! So simple - but wore my first cord out that way you showed in the photos.

Thanks

Yep! Homemade Albo, have one for a 44 as well.

Awesome tips. I love the bungee cord idea. It's a pain getting it.off sometimes
