Set-up wise is a personal choice thing. My wife loves earphones (i don't), but they are a cheap Phillips pair and prefers them over Grey Ghost, Minelab and earpods - it was a trial and error thing. Me, I prefer a single external speaker with a cheap digital amplifier added to my existing...

Should have named this the "speculation thread"... At least they could blame all the misinformation about release dates on Covid?? From: https://detecthistory.com/news/minelab-gpx-6000-new-2021-minelab-metal-detector/ Read the "Final Thoughts" on the article....a bit funny!

I'm guessing you are not selling the patch lead with it? While you may not have used it much, any feedback on using this coil?

Have charged my WM12 while driving for 2 hours, took near the whole trip! When I charge at home, will charge in about half an hour to 45min - I run the thick charge cable of a dedicated high output USB port. My point, charging from your car's 12v accessory port is slow and limited in current...

Sadie is one coil with one purpose, SP01 is one booster for all detectors, all places, all coils - smart money says booster will find you more gold overall, and yes, they hold their value.

Can totally relate to the whole scenario, only the wife comes with me - we both have 7000's an since I put the Z-search on hers, she is just as keen as me! As far as chasing your first 1g plus, it took me 1 year to get any gold, was my first sub-grammer. Even after you get that plus size nugget...

Are these all panning or detecting or both? That is a huge choice, bit bigger than the GT???

I've been known to get 890km on an open freeway, so when cruising it is amazing. LPG is one of those things that if you put the peddle down....just like petrol, it eats it up. Luckily I've got a 2008 BA dedicated LPG Falcon wagon - though with all the off roading, the paint work is worse than...

We go at least once a week, sometimes twice. Food stop, fuel stop, snack stop and finding a few dollars in gold isn't great economics, but sure is dam fun! We travel an average of just over 2hrs each way and try to get 4-6 hrs of coil to the ground. If I wasn't running an LPG vehicle, it would...

Thanks, let us know what you've got and will organise something through PM - much appreciated!

I'm looking for a few CTX 3030 Lithium batteries in used condition. It doesn't matter if the batteries are cactus, as I will rebuild it. I want to get a few for the wife to lighten her GPZ 7000. It might mean needing to change batteries half way through the day, but will impose less fatigue on...

There is no doubt the x-coils were designed by geniuses - just wish it came standard as compatible with the 7000 like the x-search instead of having to "patch" it in. Maybe in the future they will do something like that, then I would definitely reconsider.... and yes, I am yet to hear of the...

Wow! not bad - people forget the value that information has. All that printed information will be gone for ever, and not all of it will be carried over into the digital age so will be lost for future generations. My advice, if you have a few dollars spare - grab them, read and excel at prospecting!

Another outing today, put the 14 inch ML coil back on and started finding targets at various levels again. Also picked up a little .23g in a well worked area, was only shallow though. I had already taken the z-search off and advertised it for sale until my wife came up with a good idea. She is...

Excellent video! I am finding though that the Z-search has a plateau depth around 100mm/4inches on "most" targets. In that range it blows away the 14 inch original. X-coil users, what are you seeing in your usage????

Have been chatting with a few coil testing professionals in the trade, and while they suggested the x-coil are indeed more sensitive and punch deeper, it didn't justify the risk to the detector. I have heard that when the coil-overload alarm occurs, it's not healthy for the electronics. ML have...

Have you considered it could be faulty? The best way to check is let someone test it on their 5000 - sure there are plenty here who would help. Also, consider that the detector itself may have a problem the only shows when using the NF. I know as a part of servicing older circuit boards, I use...

I'm looking for a patch lead for the x-coil 17 inch for my Zed.....anyone making these now??

Actually already have the 16 inch Keene - light handle, heavy head. Can't see any mention of weights for either? Maybe I'm missing something?? Weights for larger pick.....

I've got the Z-search on now; huge difference in weight felt plus I am looking at a 3030 battery for half the weight and have a spare in the car. It was funny that the pick felt significantly heavier after reducing the coil weight on the 7000. Am going to look into it during this week for some...
