Effectively by selling to them you cut out the middlemen. How much they paid me in sept: 9ct $19.52 a gram sterling .86 a gram so you might have to phone nz gold mechants get the latest prices from their 0800 number and redo your calculations.

The guys i purchased from works at mines 4/3days off where he flies to the location ! :-) So he was usining it max 1-2 times a week and i think device done no more than 300 Hours , My Gold bug did just over 100 hours when i sold it. When i got it it was covered in Red Australian Dust :-) i was surprised that MAF didn't Ping me for that. :-) Unit control box has never been wet -as we all know ther eis no rain in Australia (jokes) And original coil comes with coil cover by default -so coil itself is perfectly fine.And even More- guy was using coiltec coil anyway.

However on Tuesday I dug 5 silvers with my F2 and the deepest was 26cm deep as it was just less than my digging tool. Head phones are definitely better to find deep stuff. I still want your etrac and acc's tho mate :) Hopefully someone buys my motox bike soon

I have an elderly neighbour who may be interested - thanks I will part with The initial Package: Etrack with 11 DD coil + KOSS headphones, battery pack and spare alcaline pack, in original box Following items i want to sell separate : Spare Shaft assembly 100 NZD Sunray stealth X-8 200$ NZD (almost brand new) Coiltek 12 X 8" Platypus Coil For Etrac 200 NZD (in used condition) but it comes with coil cover, so its only cover that is used, I suppose i can sell everything at 2.4K as the above coils and shafts are already here in NZ and do not need to pay shipping etc, By the way my 2 days of testing 12 DD coil from coiltec proved that etrac goes deeper with it and with better stable signal for those deep targets. Great machine and selling only because i give preference to Water detecting. As i have no rush selling it - i would npt drop the Price below 2K for initial package :-) IF anyone want to catch to see it, test - always welcome :-)
