Got to say, personally the 7000 even though heavier, worked "for me" better (swing/use wise) with its balance and ergonomics. But having used a 5000 for some time, still think it's the ants pants of "tunable" PI detectors. Endless configurations, multiple accessories but for me, just TOO MANY...

I'm thinking this will be that once-in-a-lifetime size nugget for us, but hoping its the start of something bigger? Haven't finished the area but nothing else has turned up as yet. We had found some VERY small stuff not to far away from this spot, .18 about 8+ months ago, then .26 about a...

This is the back side of the nugget; My mum says she sees an angel.....I'm like - yeah angel of gold! Noticed the edges have a lot of folds with cement hard red soil jammed between it. I'm thinking it left the reef with some flat edges then folded on it's way to it's finding spot?

This is what I'm talking about. Had a hard time even picking it up! And they want to go smaller??? Found with the GPZ, clear clean signal at around 100mm deep. Don't think the 6000 will be on my wish list.....

The wife and I got out to one of our favorite places.....and the morning, shot gun pellet, shot gun pellet, then....sounded like another shot gun pellet.... ...this little beauty found with GPZ 7000 among someone else's dig holes. In fact, there was a circle of about 1 meter diameter that had...

Yep, great little coil that Detech. UPDATE: All SOLD! Thanks

That's what I get for those late night forum replies. Sorry davent... I'm just a little confused - "most of the time" :) :lol: :zzz: :8

If it's going to get even smaller gold, you might as well take up panning or run a sluice. It's like, all the gold is gone - lets release a detector that can find gold dust! Imagine all the new tiny trash you are going to find! The only benefit I can see is the Geosense, if the gold gets that...

Doing my bit....

That's one hell of a haul - do you have an accurate date/time? Get the word out to friends and family who can post on Facebook as the more you get the word out, the more eyes and ears you have. That way if something suspicious is seen or heard, you are more likely to get a response. Don't...

....and on the 8th day, a couple of blokes invented Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=headphone+sterilizer&safe=active&client=firefox-b-d&sxsrf=ALeKk02F9yIklczyjQ41wVu5hY70cWAogA:1612657983334&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjUmfaRw9buAhWc5nMBHUxgAcsQ_AUoAnoECAYQBA&biw=1920&bih=966...

So why wouldn't you go the extra step to a 7000? I see it falls nicely between existing detectors, so ONLY if it performs as they say would it be worth 7.9k. Getting very excited! Actually sold my 5000 already....but don't see me moving from the 7000 to the 6000...

Actually have decided to sell the 5000, open to decent offers! The ironstone at this particular area, I have never experienced before. And I've been to quite a few places prospecting! The signals weren't wavy, they were strong and definitive - to the point I was smashing every one looking for...

Good to hear you have a workable combination going there, do you find it takes a while to readjust when changing? Unfortunately no color, we had plenty of time coil-to-the-ground but struggled with the iron/stone content in this area. Did the right thing, worked areas thoroughly, cleared...

Okay - so against my better judgement, we went back to the devils forest, this time armed with the SDC 2300 and 5000, both with small elliptical coils to get some swing-ability. We went deeper into the beast and spent half the day in that area. The plan was executed; prepare and hike in BEFORE...

Holly crap - that is serious stuff! If that was in W.A's heat - you'd probably be close to dead? Must have been hard to keep calm....sometimes I'd walk about 5 meters then look down at the same target digging I just made 5 minutes ago. Had to chuckle to myself, but in all seriousness - I ended...

Perfect example: Dollys Creek. River wash under a few inches of topsoil at the top of the hills, clay at the bottom of the hills....someone must have tried to turn Dollys upside down to shake the gold out?

Hmmmmm, interesting. Dug up some reading glasses a while back. Can't remember where though?

Obviously needed a bigger coil :playful: :lol: Do you know what the plate was made of?

Bunnings sell a good pair of all composite boots with zero metal for around $100. Best investment we made after the frustration of steel cap boots. Then there is the times I forget my wedding ring and watch and realize I wasn't onto that 3 ouncer.... 8.(
