Just curious - how many of you have the same problem? I have had 2 gold on-lays done to my teeth, much like a gold cap. I am half way through getting my third! Too much night time teeth grinding is the culprit :( So, to the point, when I squat down with the plastic spoon going over the coil...

Yes, this is common, especially on devices with lithium polymer type batteries. If you are competent with basic disassembly of electronics, you will be able to open the headphones and see the battery (only attempt this if your warranty has expired, otherwise make a claim). Usually they put the...

Might seem obvious but have you tried calling the number and explaining your interest in panning the river? Do you have a prospecting license?

1). Ally Slopers Gully - area we found pushed and heavily worked. There were not a great deal of scratchings and we found very little trash and no gold. 2). Big Timber Gully - an unplanned stop en-route so a quick swing around pulled out a few lead shot and other trash. Looks like a large...

Spent a day at Inglewood today, all on the east side. Did some research and also checked out Dtrackoz maps and GeoVic locations. For most of that place, angry bush is an understatement. Not 10 meters in and lost site of the car, the wife, the gold and my bearings. Thank goodness I was carrying a...

Was out at Inglewood today, used the 7000 - collected more lead shot. Thought I'd give the Modified 5000 for a run with the 8x12 EVO due to the dense forest - continued collecting more lead shot. Just goes to prove (in my eyes) the 5000 can be "tuned" to most every occasion. Keen to see the 6000...

I hadn't really thought about that but you are spot on. Unfortunately it's all speculation currently - can't wait for the REAL test reports to come through. I've got to say, I find this with the 7000 as compared to the 5000, heaps more tiny trash (even on deep setting!). This is where 4500/5000...

Really, I have no affiliation with Minelab, but if they do see this - can I please have a free new GPX 6000? Woops, I accidentally posted a media release on the new 6000. Hope Minelab sales department don't mind???

Yes, located in Hoppers Crossing. The Commanders are a few years old, they show the usual wear scratches on the skid plates but are otherwise in very good condition (including cords). The Detechs are near-new condition. The DD is less than 6 months old and been used once. The 12 inch is about...

Hello to all, Using the GPZ 7000 more now so thinning out my GPX 5000 coil collection. As you will see from the photos, they are in good used condition. Pick-up preferred, coils available for pick-up from VIC 3029. 1) Minelab 11" Commander MONO Coil $150. 2) Minelab 11" Commander DD Coil...

So it's starting to look like a dumbed down 5000? Now, what I mean is a GPX with only basic "optimum" settings pre-programmed. Think I'd be sticking to the GPX, while I think it has to many options, I'd rather have to many than to little. Surely they are not marketing this to experienced...

GeoSense-PI? no thanks, I'm waiting for GEOSENSIS X3: http://gdi-detectors.com/geosensis_x3_pulse_induction_gold_metal_detector/ :lol: :lol: :lol: Seriously though, "if" the GeoSense works as claimed, it could be a really great thing - but nothings perfect and I feel to get an across-the-board...

A quick search on Google got this. https://solartown.com/learning/solar-panels/choosing-and-sizing-batteries-charge-controllers-and-inverters-for-your-off-grid-solar-energy-system/ It might help you understand the calculations a little better. Also remember solar panels are rated for optimum...

A quick search around Google backs this being a decent piece of equipment. It appears they have found their niche in the market with price/performance etc... As per Teemore ...its all about learning and understanding you machine and it's abilities. It WILL find gold, and shotgun pellets, and...

The more regular good/big stuff is on private land. Hundreds of people visit the gold fields every year, and as the saying goes, they didn't get it all. Walk over the same ground as everyone else, but tilt your detector 5 degrees to the left, or be fortunate to have an EMI free day so targets...

I have spoken to Minelab who said, as a general rule, they do not get involved with aftermarket and 3rd party companies. The tech I spoke to was curious as to how they got the coil so light...nothing further was said on the matter. The Zed has been around for some time now, it's good to see a...

It's an old post, but some good advice: https://forum.kimbucktwo.com/any-luck-on-the-eldorado-gf-s-victoria-anyone-t17667.html

The basic 5000 design is over 10 years old, I'd like to think that after many years working with detector electronics any decent tech would be able to find ways to enhance the operation of older designs. To what extent these improvements make a difference is always going to be debatable, it's...

Like others have said, I think it's being primarily aimed at the international market. Serious prospectors here in OZ will stick to the 4500/5000 as they offer endless configurations, both physical (coils, harness set ups) and through settings with lots of other aftermarket stuff available...

Earlier this week... :/ Waiting for a replacement under warranty. What did it dig up? an inch square flat piece of rusted iron :rolleyes:
