    Gpx-6000 1 Hour Long Review Video

    I have a sig P320 btw Jenny, however our laws prohibit us from taking any firearm when prospecting here in the NT. Even at our base camp, which is a stupid law. I have wild dogs, dingos, pigs, an occasional buffalo and Saltwater crocs, no mountain lions or bears though, thank God!

    Gpx-6000 1 Hour Long Review Video

    I haven't watched the video yet, but I will. I took my 6000 out today to clean a patch I had worked over with my 7000 and 12" NFZ. Got 1 little nugget before the emi picked up. I have never used a machine so badly effected by emi before. Seriously, after the walk in, I am pissed off that the...

    I have caught a couple of penguins while fishing, 1 on a lure and a couple on baits. All released unharmed except for a sore beak!

    Snake Gaiters

    Hahahahhaa, anyway, where I detect, snakes are the least of my worries. I know they are a bigger problem down south and over west. Dehydration is the biggest problem here, followed by vehicle brakedowns and getting lost or bogged either side of the wet season. I agree 100% what you say about...

    Snake Gaiters

    Bloke at work was bitten on his toe in his shed. Very small northern brown snake. Didn't worry about it until 20 minutes later he started going blind and had other problems. He is a big guy, very small snake, off work for 6 months and has health problems to this day, kidney, breathing etc. Guess...

    Snake Gaiters

    Genuinely interested in snake bite stories. The only people I know have been bitten at home or doing mundane things like putting the bin out at night. I did read a stories of a bloke bitten while panning, but I think it was his hand or arm that took the bite.

    I think Steve sums it up nicely in that article (post). Wait and see how it goes after its been out a while. It looks promising, and will be a great alternative for those who,s budget just can't stretch. I'm following this with interest.

    So who is using the coiltek goldhawks and how is it going?

    Thanks Mbasko, I'm just hoping that it becomes quieter. I'm probably going to look at the larger elip coils, either the coiltek or NF, but if they don't "tame" the 6k and if I can't swing quicker, then I will probably sell my 6. I'm really hoping that it runs the machine more stable.
