    @silvervella
    Thanks for watching Silvervella, well the ATPro was a big success, with the stock DD coil, wasnt really bothered by hot ground or false signals, and it found the gold. Great detector, best of luck in the Golden Triangle mate and Happy Prospecting.

    @aaaarrrgggghh
    Thanks for watching our video aaaarrrgggghh (LOL - great name), we haven't used the Sea Hunter, so couldn't comment, but love the Infinium, great value for money and lots of raw power - I think the two units are pretty similar. We have both the 14 inch DD and 14 inch Mono coil - next purchase will be the 8 inch mono for difficult spots or long grass and in creek gullies. Best of luck mate and Happy Prospecting!

    Another terrific video NQ and Mrs NQ. Loved the opening song it sounds a different version from the original version.. Well done Mrs NQ on that nugget a terrific find and a testimony to your detecting skills. Surely there is more there! GL and HH for your next adventure. Stunned at how hot it was - I was in the Tully area but it was only in the high 20s last week!

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  12 лет назад +1

    Thanks for watching Yurivic - this was more a video diary of the prospecting trip, not so much an instructional for the Infinium - which by the way is quite easy to use, we will include some instructional techniques on our next prospecting video. Happy Prospecting mate!

She's the gold lady, whereas from now on, you're tha button man :) Love the agate hunt, in fact I love doing that myself.

    @NQExplorers  11 лет назад

    G'day Len - Crampo is the right bloke to talk to and deal with for sure! But we highly recommend the AT Pro and the AT Gold, we have both. The AT Gold is great on fine gold with the small coil, we haven't had any issues with hot ground and it ground balances easily, and hot rocks are easily balanced out. Check with Crampo but would recommend the AT Gold, as you can also coin and relic hunt at the press of a button! Happy Prospecting mate. Warren.

    @robsue
    LOL thanks Robsue, we had a great time, after a big day out the comfort of the caravan is appreciated - we have 'gone soft', used to sleep on the ground once LOL. Love that Dingoes song too - pity we couldn't had squeezed more of it in. HH mate and best of luck.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  13 лет назад

    @1963Willo
    Thanks for watching and commenting Willo, that is the original Dingoes version of 'Way out West' (1973). The temp - back on the coast, as you say, high 20s, middle of the Cape, high 30s, but cooled down a little at night so sleeping was possible LOL. Fortunately the humidity is still low so the first storms are some time off, the fires in the tinder-dry grass are the threat at the moment. Best wishes and HH mate, keep up the great finds and videos!

    Well done Mrs NQ with the gold nugget, nice find, some nice relics coming up with yourself, like the small bullet, i think it might an old musket bullet just like the twin ring i found and can't identify but will get there one day lol.

    @GrizzlyGroundswell
    Thanks for watching Chad, hope you get your button back LOL. You know we dug almost 40 buttons over a few days, and each night would count them to make sure we hadn't dropped any LOL. Best thing about the old buttons is they are all branded with a makers name, which gives them a real historical context. HH mate and best of luck on your next.

Couldnt resist putting the Road Train in, I love 'em LOL. They are 50 metres long and when one is coming the other way - you just get off the road. HH mate and best of luck.

    @seeradog
    Seeradog, thanks for watching mate - the Infinium is an absolutely fabulous machine, you have made a great choice and the economics of buying from the US are all in our favour - we got ours from the US last year. Easy to use, raw power that runs super-smooth over the hottest of ground. Very best of luck with the Infinium mate, hope to see you dig up your "retirement nugget" this year! Happy Prospecting!

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  12 лет назад

    @averyhse
    Thanks for watching Averyhse - and the calculations! Sure can turn the day around when you find gold - and as you say, $123 for digging a small hole is OK LOL. Happy Prospecting!

    @NQExplorers  13 лет назад

    @SuperJammygit
    Thanks SuperJammgit, I think we found close to 40 old branded buttons on the trip, dont know what those old timers were doing with their clothing LOL. All in lovely condition too because of the mostly dry conditions. HH mate and best of luck.

  • @NQExplorers

    @garbageguru1 13 лет назад

    Excellent outing mate! Hard to top gold and wildlife! Saw a fellas video where he used a grader to get below where the miners hand dug and found some BIG nuggets! Gotta be some laying around waiting on you to find them! Amazing the old guys found as much as they did with the way they had to do it! Can't get over those big rigs with all the trailers.At least they don't have to back up one of those monsters! You and Mrs.NQ make a great team! Sorry the shoes fell victim to the terrain!

    @Donringpull77
    Thanks Donringpull77, well the agate can be worth quite a bit when it is cut and polished for jewellery setting, you can get very large and beautiful pieces further upstream, as well as "Thunder Eggs" and crystal geodes. Its always a good idea to keep your eyes to the ground out there, so much to find LOL. HH mate and best of luck.

  • @farenheit1100
    @farenheit1100 13 лет назад

    Wonderful video again. Where else could you do it all in one trip, gold prospect, relic hunt, and hunt for agates? Watching the wildlife and the road train kind of reminds me of the old movie "Alice to Nowhere". Congrats to M\s. NQ on the nugget. I am sure she will find a good use for it. GL and Hh Hugh

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  13 лет назад

    @DiggingNorway
    Thanks for watching DN, best thing about the old goldfields, if you are not finding gold, you can go relic hunting and there is always something interesting that comes to light. Best of luck on your next trip out and HH.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  12 лет назад

    @Alexsusik1976
    Alex, we have the stock 10 x 14 DD but use the 10 x 14 Mono almost exclusively - runs really quiet and haven't yet found any ground too hot to detect. The 8 inch mono that you have is a great idea - and is next on our "wish list". Happy Hunting mate!

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  13 лет назад

    @moleman1961
    Amazingly, not a single snake spotted on this trip, unusual because September/October is breeding season and they can be quite active, although we always make sure we make plenty of noise in the long grass to keep them away. HH mate and thanks for watching.

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  11 лет назад

    Thanks for watching and commenting Sean, we also now have the AT Gold, and have only used it on relics as gets - will send you a link to that video. The situation is the same here in Australia - the 'old timers' worked all the creeks and detecting the creek beds is a real test of patience, 'virgin' bush is preferable in areas only prospected by the old timers. The AT Gold is fantastic - we will be using it with our Infinium in the next few months in the goldfields. HH mate! Warren.

    @BassGoesBoom1
    G'day BassGoesBoom - we haven't used the ATGold - but the ATPro was screaming over that 2.4 grammer - and down to very small pieces of lead and wire of similar conductivity to gold. The ATGold - operates at an even higher frequency as I understand it - and would be super-sensitive. That DD coil is great in the hottest of ground, with either auto or manual GB. Hot rocks no issue. Light and easy to swing. I reckon the ATGold would be a great investment mate! Happy Prospecting!

  • @NQExplorers
    @NQExplorers  12 лет назад

    @stemart1641
    Steve, appreciate your comments mate, that AT Gold is a great investment and a very versatile machine at a great value price - hope to see you digging up some great treasures and (large) nuggets soon. All the best and Happy Prospecting! Warren.

    Gidday NQExplorers, I can't afford a M/L GPX detector, would a Garrett AT PRO metal detector be the best buy on budget ? I am in Victoria, so Maryborough, Dunolly, Heathcote will be my hunting grounds, I shop from crampo myself, so I might ask him the same question.
