          Minelab Mods and Information.
 Due to the recent Gold Gem and Treasure article on our detector upgrades and all the gold being found we have been inundated with detectors sent in for upgrades. If you are wanting to get your detector upgraded then get it in fast as the time for turn around will be growing to 2 weeks or longer.

Yes!!! We upgrade the GPX 4000 GPX 4500 GPX 4800 and the GPX 5000.
As well as all SD series and GP series including the Extreme.

3 Weeks work in the Australian Gold field for 23.7 Kg of potatoe sized Nuggets.
This is the work from someone who has seen the Gold first hand.
If i can get some more info i will put it up but i think the finders
will be keeping most details secret.

UPDATE Jan 2012     NEW COILS OPEN UP THE GOLD FIELDS!

Now after 6 years of testing we can now say that we have produced the best detector coils designed for Minelab P.I detectors. We have tested our coils up against every other manufacturer and our coils are quieter, more sensitive and definately go deeper. We went head to head with the most popular 12" coil on the market and can easily demonstrate that our coils can add up to 20% more depth. We are currently producing 14" Mono round coils, this size is the most logical size to detect 95% of all Gold Nuggets.  ( We currently have large back orders for these coils and thus will be supplied on a date of order basis)


             Check Out our New Range of Carbon Fiber Detector Coils
                        

                   GP-3500 GPX-4500 GPX-5000 with the 
                   new variable front end gain fitted.
                   A lot more Gold is coming their way.

The front end gain mod has been field tested by many prospectors for a few months now, the results are fantastic.

For all you GP Extreme GP3000 GP3500 true believers we have a new upgrade that gives you variable gain over the input of the detector while achieving greater greater control over the ground mineralization, this will allow anyone to use a Mono coil over any ground type, even Salt lakes. This new upgrade is a vast improvement on the standard front end design for these detectors. Our testing has shown that this upgrade allows you to fine tune the detector to the ground that you are working. The new sub board is fully gain matched for both channels to allow precise DD performance if you want to run in Salt/Cancel mode.
This upgrade will actually give any GP series detector far more Dynamic range than even the later GPX series.

Why do Minelab dealers hate us?
Do you need to go and spend over $6000 on a new metal detector to find Gold? The answer is absolutely no!!!  We can upgrade any older Minelab Pulse Induction detector to find larger and deeper Gold. We can match the performance and even exceed the performance specification by using cutting edge electronic component upgrades.  We will get you more Gold with over 1800 proven upgraded detectors being used around the World. No wonder there is a campaign to discredit us.
PS...5 year warranty on our work!

Are your older detectors noisy in high mineral ground? We can cure it.
Do you lack sensitivity to small Gold? We can cure it.
Do you lack depth on large Gold Nuggets?  We can cure it.

5 Year warranty on all our work.....It is one of the best kept secrets of professional prospectors, some others are jealous of the Gold being found with new technology upgrades.

Read the reviews.....Absolutely 100% Gods honest truth!!!! No Bullshit!

Have a read of the Gold Gem and Treasure March 2012 for complete independent article on the extra Gold found with an upgraded detector.

Some self interest groups absolutely HATE me upgrading detectors, you can work out why, just keep an open mind.

    We only upgrade "MINELAB" Pulse induction detectors.

In my expert opinion....No other detector beats MINELAB.

I have worked on a variety of Gold detectors over the last 20 years and if you are not using a Minelab detector you are missing a lot of Gold, at this point in time nothing can beat Minelab.
I have no afilliation with minelab, but they make the absolute best detectors in the World!


                            Gold Rush in Central Victoria
There is a Gold rush near Koorongvale in central Victoria. The recent heavy rain has wased out some of the gullies leaving Gold nuggets on the bedrock. Large Gold Nuggets have been detected and have been shown on TV on Channel 7. The area is North of Wedderburn.


Our new Website for Custom Coils Detectorcoils.com

1-4-2011
We are currently developing a sub board assembly to be fitted into any Minelab pulse induction detector. This electronics interface board will greatly improve the detectors performance by allowing quite operation on any conceivable type of soil. This board will work in conjunction with all existing modded detectors.

                       JAN 2011 UPDATES BELOW.

Updates for December, in the middle of moving to a better location, please send all detectors to P.O Box 5165 Frankston South 3199 Victoria Australia..

The new deep seeking ground loop patents have been filed, watch out for the new technology.

To everyone that had a 4500 upgrade.....We found that a batch of components had mixed values, this will cause your detector to be extremely noisy even in enhance and needs to be rectified. We have found 3 detectors that have wrong components installed so far. If you have extreme sensitivity to small gold and extreme noise send the detector back so that we can rectify the problem and install the correct components.


Now for new technology , who is interested in being able to detect an Orange sized object down to 6-8 feet if not more? How about an object like the Hand of Faith Gold Nugget down to 15 feet?   For more information send an email to optushome@      gmail.com    the space is to stop automatic spam servers so put the @ next to the gmail.com


                                            Updates...January 2011

                                             ***NEW UPGRADE***

We can now upgrade GP series detectors including the GPX 4500 to closely match the GPX 5000 series detectors. This upgrade reduces the possibility of ground signal overload of the front end preamplifiers. The upgrade will further reduce all ground noise.


Fully upgraded GPX-4500 in brand new condition is now available. This detector has the been fully upgraded and was excellent straight out of the box. It has the upgrades for finding extremely hard to detect small Gold like Reef and also has the large deep Gold setting for extreme depth on large Gold Nuggets.

1 Only available with 5 year warranty.....$6000  There is only one available.(SOLD)   I have 20 detectors being sent from the UAE for modification and full upgrades, if you want your detector upgraded to find more Gold get in quickly as I will very busy over the next month.  I have one more GPX4500 in the process of full upgrades, if you are interested in buying it let me know asap.


The next Gold rush......Tanzania in East Africa.  I have reports that there has been significant Alluvial gold found in the North central part of the country, Metal detecting has been carried out by some Sudanese and the results are mind boggling.  What a joy it must be to detect on Virgin Gold fields..


Updates for November 2010

Just Finished another GP Extreme control box, this one does not do 0.05 gram bits but is specifically made for Large Deep Gold Nuggets. This one took nearly 3 weeks of work to do and is now available for $3600 This will go deeper than anything at over 1 oz. The filters have been redesigned for super quietness and the receiver is very sensitive. First in best dressed.  (SOLD)  Owner found 32 oz nugget at 3.6 feet in Argentina.

We have been trying out new upgrades to the SD2200D series detector. These upgrades are to help in the use of using a very large Mono coil and to go deep as possible on larger gold Nuggets. So far the depth increases have been near 15% on larger targets.


New components are now available that reduce the receiver noise in GP Extreme GP3000 GP3500 GPX4000 and GPX4500.....also maybe in the new GPX5000 but i have yet to look inside one yet.

Just recently I sent my own fully upgraded GP3500 to Jack Lange from Gold Hunter detectors to do some field testing. Here are the results using a NF 20" Mono coil with targets buried in heavy mineralized ground.   A 20 cent Australian coin at 2'4"   6 gram solid nugget 1'7"   12 gram flat nugget 2'4"   The GP-3500 that i sent to Jack had the new input parts installed.

I have also added these components to my fully upgraded GPX-4500 and will be sending that up to Jack to test. He did indicate that the Upgraded GP-3500 was aprox 25% deeper than a standard GPX-4500.

30 oz Gold Nugget Found with Modded GP-3500.

UPDATES BELOW.30 oz Gold Nugget Found with Modded GP-3500.
Hi Peter, I thought you would be interested in, Steve who visited me today. He is a novice who purchased a 3500 recently. I advised him to have you modify the detector which he did. He went detecting recently in a well detected area.  He got a signal over a partly dug detector hole. It seems as if the previous operator had stopped digging thinking that it was just a ground noise. However,  the superior depth of his modded GP 3500 told Steve it was metal, so he kept on digging until he unearthed a 30 ounce nugget! It was a spot that had been well detected. I  visited that spot a few years ago and avoided detecting there as it was so obviously so well known and detected. Steve said that he is finding much more gold since he had the mod done.
 
Any way, I have attached a photo of the nugget which can be shown anywhere you like.
Cheers
Jack Lange

As follows,

To Peter Woodland, Link Technologies  7th July 2010

 
Dear Peter,

I have been using your fully modified GPXtreme now for many months on the field and I should tell you that at present, it is the best gold detector I know of. My prospecting partner, Wally, has a Minelab GPX 4500 and my brother Ed has a 4000. I have done numerous depth comparisons with both in real-life goldfield conditions and it detects deeper than the 4000 in all soils and at least as deep as the 4500 in heavily mineralised soils. In quiet, average soils it detects deeper than the 4500.
 
 At times, Wally had to run his detector in enhance mode to handle the noisy ground with a mono and as you know, it loses depth in that mode, but I ran the GPExtreme on the same ground with a similar mono with no difficulty.   However, because it has a perfect and I mean perfect threshold which is stable at any level, in reality it is my preferred detector for depth and quietness in ALL conditions. It operated perfectly in overcast conditions last week with no apparent thunderstorms on the horizon.  But the 4500 and the 4000 were hard, and at times, impossible to use because of the atmospheric conditions. The 'Woody' GP Extreme was perfectly stable thanks to your most recent addition mod. Also on sunny days it ran quieter in terms of handling mineralised ground than the other two units. (Which are in perfect working order by the way).
 
Yesterday, I found 10 nuggets (smallest was .4 gram with 24" eliptical coil) with it during some very relaxed detecting, while not having to try and decipher a genuine signal from interference noises. What a dream detector! I am including its charms in the present Nugget finding Secrets DVD I am working on.   
 
Best regards and thanks for all the years of hard work you have put into these mods.
 
Jack Lange

Testing of Mod 2 from George.

Hello Peter,despite being busy in other ways than detecting,inclement weather and tall grass and thistles ,I found 25 bits after having done mod. 2 on my 3500. These 9 bits I found in an area 8x8 m previously detected by me and very good operator, a friend of mine with 4500.I had found 3 other bits after him in this place with mod 1, and now these 9 . Biggest is 1.4g , total6.8g.They were all deep for their size. Apart from that I am finding gold again ,in places, I have not been able to find anything in years.Thank You, Your grateful George.


On the Weekend we met up with Bill from Bealiba near Dunolly, Bill and his wife came over to the Laanecoorrie test site to pick up a powered amplified speaker i had for him. While at the site we tested a number of different coils on the GPX-4500, GP-3500 and Bill's SD2100. Below is an email from Bill.

Gidday Peter,
Thank you for the time spent at the weekend and allowing me to test the coils

you made available.
Following the weekend and following days I am waiting the release of  a
similar coil to the 18 inch mono green Kevlar we tried. We had the chance to
test other coils-advantage 18"sold by Bendigo gold-coiltek x 2-minelab DD
off the 4500 & a mono off the same machine. Yours by far the strongest let
me know when you release your 18" mono-are you still reluctant to sell the
one you have on hand??
Very pleased with the upgrade on the SD bit unstable over at Mountain
Hut-Avoca beat the 4500 hands down for depth-could have been the other
operator-I like to think it was the upgrade.
Don't forget keep me in mind for your new coils.
Regards
Bill


Queens birthday Test results.........

Over the long weekend we carried out some serious testing of an upgraded GPX-4500 and a selection of coils including our newly patented design.  The testing was done at the Laanacoorie test site near Tarnagulla in the central Victorian Gold-fields. We tested a selection of upgrades on the GPX-4500 detector as well as testing with 2 X 18" High inductance mono coils, 1 X 12" X 20" patented design and various commercial designs including the NF 12" advantage, Minelab 11" Mono and a couple of 14" DD coils. 2 X new Dual Field coils were also tried and these coils may offer some hope for a coil design that can detect a greater size range of nuggets using one coil.

There is one thing that was very obvious to us when testing various coils with the GPX-4500 in normal and Enhance modes of operation. The standard range of coils are not optimum for the enhance mode on the GPX-4500. The very narrow pulse width in Enhance does not fully energize the  coil inductance of any existing coils, Enhance is a very good mode for noisy ground but it seems that there is a significant depth loss with some types of coils. We will be working to see if our newer coils can be optimized for enhance mode. Minelab have made a significant improvement for working noisy ground with Enhance but newer specific coil types need to be developed.

Update 5/5/2010
Gold Nuggets Found with modded Minelab GP-3500 detector.

These beautiful Nuggets have been found by George with an upgraded Minelab GP-3500 using the series 1 mods. He is sending his detector over to have the series 2 mods installed, I cannot wait for his next gold nugget pictures.


Jack Lange has been testing the series 2 mods with a Minelab GP Extreme detector, read his story in the May edition of Australian Gold Gem and Treasure magazine.  He found a lot of Gold!!!


Now Available, I have only one fully modded GP-3000 that has been fully enhanced. This detector is super smooth and very sensitive goes ultra deep in high mineral loaded ground. This detector has full input filter upgrades, has the full low pass filter upgrades,has the 3 timing upgrades,has the low on resistance Fet upgrade, low capacitance Diode upgrades, has the timing position boost upgrades and has the output pulse power boost upgrade. We even give a full warranty on this unit. If you want the most versatile and powerful detector this is the one for you. price is $3600 Aud.

Update April 22nd

...How to determine if a deep signal is mineralization or a metallic target.Update 5/5/2010Gold Nuggets Found with modded Minelab GP-3500 detector.
New deep mods tested on GPX4000 are a success, now to incorporate the same into a GPX4500 and field test. The GPX detectors are optimized to finding smaller targets due to the fact that the short pulse frequency has been raised to 25 khz and long pulse to around 4.5 khz. The older models such as the SD and GP ran around 16 Khz and 1.5 khz on the long pulse and this is consistent with longer on times needed to energize large deep nuggets. The GPX series has improved sensitivity and hot rock rejection and this coupled to the detector using a lower frequency should have obvious advantages on the detection of large deep gold nuggets.

Work is currently under way on a new series of coils, these new coils will be a large improvement on current commercial offerings. A brand new Vacuum Forming machine is being delivered and special patented wire and the best shielding available is also on its way. We are to spare no expense in making the absolute best performance coils available. These are not going to be mass produced but rather supplied to prospectors who require a performance design tailored to their specific needs.
     



update April 18th

It has been 22 days and telstra has finally managed to connect our phone line and ADSL internet. I went and purchased my own ADSL2 modem as they have not sent me one (as per the contract) I would probably have to wait another month to receive it.

Jack Lange of Gold Hunter Detectors, who is also one of Australia's best known prospectors has been out testing the new modifications on a Minelab GP series detector. The results according to Jack are outstanding!  Check out his site for information on Gold prospecting.

Time for a color change, the new mods have been field tested and give outstanding threshold stability and no loss in sensitvity or depth. The testers have found that many signals that have been previously masked by a noisy threshold are now very distinctive target signals. This is indicative of the way enhance works on the Minelab GPX4500. The Minelab detectors are still the number one choice for a dedicated Gold detector, if you are at all serious about finding Gold stick with Minelab.

Updates for 25th March

We are on the move to a new larger premises, i will also be changing email contact details. The new address for sending detectors is Link Technologies, P.O Box 5165 Frankston South. Victoria Australia, Zip / Postcode is 3199.

 The telephone number will still be 61 3 90175549 . The Email address is now detectormods at gmail dot com.  at = @   dot=.   I do this to stop spammers. gmail also has an inbuilt anti-spam filter that works great.

 A detector test by Jack Lange of Gold Hunter detectors is coming out in Gold Gem and Treasure magazine, He is using an upgraded GP-Extreme detector that we did for him a couple of months back. Jack gets the same upgrades I do for every other prospector.

Nugget Finds, While out at Kingower Victoria (where the hand of faith Nugget was found) (875 Oz ) I found a 3.5 gram in thrashed ground with the upgraded GP-3500.
I had a friend with me who asked to borrow my detector, he walked out of our tent and roughly 20 meters away had a signal, down around the 2' or 60cm he pulled out a 127 gram nugget.

Rumor Finds of Large Gold , Maryborough Victoria, 660 Oz, Amherst Victoria, 2 large of 30 oz and 16 oz. There have been some others reportedly found but the Finders do not want their details made public.

In all cases these nuggets where all found using Minelab Detectors.


Updates for Feb 25th
We are currently redesigning our large coils so that they will be the best that are available, that means that we are not allowing any out the door until they are absolutely perfected.

We are currently taking custom orders for very large Mono coils up to 2 meters in diameter. Popular sizes are 36" and 42" size using our specially manufactured Anti-Interference shield material. Our coils can be shaped into any shape you require to detect large deep Gold that has been missed by other prospectors with lesser coils. Big Gold typically lies at 4' to 12' depth in many gullies. Check Nugget depth historical references.


This is how I make my own Large Coils, the Frame is made from 6mm X 10mm Kiln dried Pine, I stick it together with Liquid Nails.I make my coils in a Hexagon shape as it is very easy to do. This massive coil can be lifted on my little Finger it is so light. The coil is cable tied to the outside of the frame. It just needs some center mounts made from strips of wood and away we go. For
 extra strength the structure can be
fiber glassed if you want. This is the
 way to make huge Deep seeking
coils without the $1000 price tag.



We have developed some new coils for Maximum depth on Large Gold Nuggets. The coils are wound with new exotic materials to give superior performance without the superior price tag. We can also do custom coil designs including ground loops. There are area's that very large Gold nuggets in the 50 Oz plus size are found at depths of 4' to 12' Deep, Until now there was no way to find these huge Nuggets. Our coils will detect these Huge Gold nuggets at depth not before obtainable with existing coil configurations. Below is a Size comparison between a New High performance 36" coil and an 17 X 12 and 18" Mono.



These coils can be mounted to your own frame, either Plywood or a light braced Pine frame. They can be shaped as a Round or whatever takes your fancy.

Modded SD2200D Strikes Gold

Modded SD2200D Strikes Gold
Today 21st January 2010
A member of Victoria's largest detector club has found some good Gold on a very flogged to death patch in Central Victoria using a lately modded SD2200D.
The prospector and the Club members have gone over this patch for some years, using every detector from the SD2000 up to the GPX-4500. As not to rain on his parade, I am not going to give away any details until it is released in the Club's Newsletter.
 Well, I feel for Warren, he was pipped at the post by someone who found an old coin. The Crystal 8 gram Nugget was a excellent specimen, when I catch up with him I will post up the picture of the Gold.

January 2010 New Battery Amplifier combo for all SD GP and GPX detectors..
I now have a amplifier speaker Combo that will be made available shortly, this one uses a small speaker so it does not alert every Tom Dick and Harry in the area of your finds. It uses 2 small self contained AAA batteries that last an extremely long time. More info will be available after the field testers report back.

The battery can be mounted with Velcro to the side of the detector and the small amplifier and Speaker can be mounted to the battery or the detector with velcro as well.

These are going to be cheap, the cheapest on the market.





Update N.O 2 December. I have just received a completely new batch of Ultrafast Soft Recovery rectifiers that have 30% more current carrying ability than the MUR320S types that Minelab use. The new types have less forward voltage drop and that means more current to your coil for greater depth. Last but not least is the intrinsic capacitance is less than half of the MUR320S and this reduces capacitive loading of the coil and receiver stage to allow faster sampling and greater signal levels. Being a Soft recovery rectifier means less switching noise and greater signal to noise ratio. These new components have been tested on SD GP and GPX detectors and have been found to offer a performance advantage.

Update December- "The best GPX-4500 Settings"

Click Here for the Best GPX4500 Adjustments.  Test these against the settings suggested in the Outback Prospector Video's, it will make you think twice!

Update 13th November 09
Component upgrades for the GPX-4500.
New Receiver section components are just in, this gives even lower on resistance, less capacitance to the input stage and will result in more signal and deeper Gold. By lowering the Capacitance, larger coils should be much quieter on both Enhance and Normal mode.
We are the only ones to have these components as they are special order to our specifications.

We also have some Orange Display modules that allow much improved visibility in bright sunlight.
So if you want an Orange Daylight display fitted or a DIY module send me an email.

New upgrades for the SD and GP range of Minelab Gold detectors. 9th/Oct/2009.
We can now match or even better the receiver sensitivity of the newest Minelab detectors. We have upgrade components that greatly improve the detection depth on the SD and GP detectors. The best way to get extra depth and sensitivity is so improve the receiver signal to noise ratio. We can acheive a 3db improvement in the current noise figure of the receiver front end that give a huge improvement in sensitivity and depth. No one else offers these upgrades as they have been engineered and tested by myself to be the best that there is currently available.

We are currently having some GPX4500 detectors field tested with upgraded components and expect field test reports back in a couple of weeks.

New Minelab type Coils to be Released.

A New Range of Coils are to be released shortly, The first coils will be Mono in a range of 6" up to 48" The coils will need to be mounted on some Plywood if you want a Tow Coil or on a bit of plastic if you want to make your own normal type Coil. These coils can be supplied as Round, Square, Oval or Rectangular.
I would envisage "Huge Cost Savings" for those that can mount their own coil. We will then be moving into the supplying of Coil Shells as we have them manufactured. Eventually we will supply complete coils including some new patented designs.

This is the new Mono Coil Cable that is now available, specs are on Ebay . If you want a few meters do not buy it from Ebay as I can do it cheaper if you just use Paypal, money order,Gold or Cash.



Oz. Cable direct is $10 per meter and postage is $5.00 Flat rate.
World-Wide is $9.20 USD per meter and $8 USD post flat rate.

UPDATE ! New Mods Are Available for GP and GPX Series!

 

These picture have been sent to me by prospectors that are using a Minelab detector that has been upgraded by myself. The one on the left is from New Zealand where the Gold won by a single SD2200D was far more than the total of 5 experienced prospectors each using a GPX4500 . Thanks Bevan.

 

 

 


This is the email I received from Andrew who was on a prospecting trip to Tibboburra NSW. This came with the Photo on the Right.

 

Now that I have put these pictures up it will cause great uproar in attempt to save face and protect commercial interests, this a cold hard fact but the pictures and correspondence is 100% true and correct. It is word for word from the owners of these detectors.

I have changed one word in (brackets).

 











Hi,

Just an update on the modified extreme...

 I’ve just got back from a week in NSW with 15 other detectors, 13 of which were using new 4500 machines.

 After 7 days the extreme had found 21 pieces, second place

 However it did get the greatest gold weight tally overall... there are some seriously (dejected) 4500 owners this week!!!

 See the depth of the photo attached... 4 pieces taken from this hole, I’ve NEVER got 4 pieces from a single dig before.

 GO THE EXTREME

Thanks again!!!

 Andrew








I also have these packs available for the GPX4000 and GPX4500, I am now supplying the 7.8 Ah battery with these kits. The Battery is labeled 7.2 volts but it charges to 8.4 Volts, exactly the same type of Cells used in a genuine Minelab Battery. I am selling these well below half price than others on the market.

Above is the Light Weight Lithium Battery with Mains and Car Charger to suit the SD2000, SD2100, SD2200, GP Extreme, GP3000 and GP3500 Minelab detectors. The Battery is 7.4 Volt 7.2 Amp Hour and weighs just over 300 grams. Also included is a Universal power adapter so you can charge the detector in any Country. The Mains charger will work off 110 Volts to 240 volts mains! I have used this battery on my detector and it runs all day on one charge.

To make your detector leadless I velcro the battery to the side of the detector and connect by audio booster to the battery and mount my speaker on the arm rest. This allows the whole detector to be used without a back pack or any connecting wires to you. The battery is very light and the weight is only 300 grams.

If you want a pack send an order via paypal using my email vk3kcg@amsat.org

For all sales in Australia the total price is $158  and that includes delivery.

For sales Wotrld-Wide the total price is $158 USD and that includes delivery.


Repair your own detector!  Repair kits are now available for SD GP GPX detectors.

August 2009 Updates, The new upgrades for the SD GP series and GPX series detectors are pulling more Gold from old worked patches. We keep in contact with prospectors using the upgraded detectors. There is many instances of upgraded detectors getting a lot more missed Gold by going over previously worked ground. I have put up some new vids on Youtube for anyone that is interested in doing some preventative maintenance on their GPX-4000 and GPX-4500.
Check Out the photo Page for some pictures of Gold found in Australia and the USA.

*15th June 2009 Update*
On the 13th June we carried out more testing with a new series of Mods at the Laanacoorie Test site and at the Daisy Hill Gold field near Maryborough.
The information that we gained tells us that the new series of mods are very good indeed. In very well worked ground at Daisy Hill a 0.9 gram Nugget was found at 9 inches in red clay using a Modded GP detector with a 10 X 5 inch Coiltek Mono Coil, the control detector (Standard) could not detect the target at all
.

One of the main goals with Minelab detectors has been to stabilize the threshold so that target signals are not hidden in the noise. A lot of the noise generated in the Extreme GP-3000 and GP-3500 has more to do with the interaction between the power output stage and the receiver stage. We can reduce the threshold warble so that the detector is rock solid stable!

I have made quite a few video's on the Minelab Pulse Induction Detectors,
Have a look at my YouTube Video's at,

Why Woodypoopoo ? When I was trying to register an account everything I tried was taken, out of frustration I typed woodypoo and that was taken..so I typed woodypoopoo and it was available. So now I am stuck with it as YouTube will not allow me to change it. So I have to live with it. I may change it one day but that involves reloading the video's.

This is a Gold Nugget from the Goldfields of Thailand, a generous prospector sent me this for doing some work on his SD-2100. He was getting a lot of Gold from his patch, 260 grams in one hole at 2' deep. This one is 12 grams. Thanks Paul.

This site is here to show you how to modify and carry out simple repairs on Minelab Metal Detectors. I offer a modification service for all the Minelab P.I detectors.  The list of mods is growing all the time as we carry out different circuit changes to field test.
All the mods will definately improve you chances of finding Gold Nuggets of all Sizes. There is NO detector available that can beat the depth on the modded detector!

Check out all my Video on Youtube as there is a lot of helpful info that you can use.
