    Minelab GT16000 tips, settings, questions

    Now I could be wrong but I think the GT16000 was the first ever Detector to use an Automatic Ground Cancelling or Balancing system so maybe Nenad can correct me on that bit of history? Benrad666 if you got an instruction manual with your GT then on Page 17 there is 2 paragraphs there in regards...

    Minelab GT16000 tips, settings, questions

    The GT16000 was my 1st detector which I have kept and it runs fine after all these years. I still have an affinity and fondness for my old GT/ VLF even though I now have PI. What settings are you running out on the Goldfield as I may be able to help?

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    I was browsing through Steve Herschbachs forum and came across what was said to be a very impressive air test with the SDC2300 and its 8 mono over a quarter coin at 18. A quarter is close in diameter and thickness to our 10c coin with the quarter containing around 7% more copper and 17% less...

    Whites SPP information and questions

    Once you ground balance the detector to the ground then you will have some loss of depth and that should be reflected above the coil to produce a different result on the 5c coin compared to the air test before the detector was ground balanced? I am curious also as I expect there will be a...

    MINELAB F1A4 ex military metal detectors - tips, settings, questions

    Okay if I have a problem I only need to say a "lead shot" test showed my detector is faulty so Minelab should accept that.

    MINELAB F1A4 ex military metal detectors - tips, settings, questions

    I am curious as to why Minelab did not supply a "test piece" for their "prospecting" detectors similar to what they supplied for their "land mine" detectors such as this F1A4 as I have heard others say their "prospecting" detector to not detect as well as another of the same model. At least a...

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    Thanks for your video comparison and I would expect even the 5000 in FG setting with your tiny CT 6" round mono to still not match the sensitivity of the SDC on those tiny test targets. I look forward to any further videos that you may post since a video can replace a thousand words or so as...

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    Thanks again Nenad. I look forward to your video demonstration in terms of the sensitivity performance of the SDC's MPF using, I assume, its 1 only timing and the GPX's MPS using its Fine-Gold timing. Hopefully you will be using an 8" round mono coil on the 5000 for a fair comparison? Robert

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    Hello Nenad, I am new to the forum and I am wondering do you have any idea as to the Auto Tracking speed on the SDC 2300 which I assume would be the Fast one as in the menu on a 5000 therefore allowing the SDC being able to cope with the mineralised ground so much better as in your video? If...

    QLD Fossicking Laws!!!

    The amount of penalty units would worry me if caught doing the wrong thing in Qld since one penalty unit is $110 and the law says "A person fossicking under a licence must not use machinery or equipment (other than a hand tool) to fossick Maximum penalty400 penalty units" which totals out to 110...
