I made this for my 6000. Doesnt keep its bum dry but stops it falling over. I use a loop of velcro in front to slide over the carbon strip when it is stowed parallel to the shaft. https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/threads/diy-gpx6000-equinox-detector-stand.41797/post-673798

You can go down Blacksnake Rd and drive by the old and newer Shamrock workings, pit pool etc but pretty obviously you cant go into fenced areas.

These days you would be lucky to even find 2 GPXs working within 5km of each other :)

Find small bits and come back again with a larger coil ? before I had the 6000 then yes, sure. If you have found gold somewhere you go over the area again with whatever different tools you have at your disposal I started with VLFs and i wish I hadnt wasted so many hrs over so many years.They...

SDC will not go as deep on large gold. It maxs out at about 550mm whereas with a big coil a 5k or 7k can touch a metre. BUT nuggets found below 500mm deep are 10000x rarer than ones found closer to surface...and you have to be using a big coil to find the deep ones so you are passing up the...

Exactly, I know over half a dozen folk that havent found any gold ever in the 5 years they have owned a detector. Usual factors apply: 1) inappropriate machine for gold 2) marginal ground -only going to a localish convenient area of low quality 3) insufficient time on ground each year-like...

https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/gold-3 pretty much sums it up...

Skidplates are transparent to the detector fields and are only a couple of mm thick so the distance offset impact is negligible. At $20-30 for a skid plate vs $200-1000 for a coil they are invaluable insurance. Also, specifically for the 6000 ML 11" , you HAVE to use a skid plate as there is...

Yes Neville McSweeneys place is on the famous Italian Gully which produced good gold in the 1800s. It is just down the road from the caravan park and right next to the old cemetery. The original Kilkivan township is also on the property but like Italian Gully, it is all just a flat paddock...

Dont bother with Deep Ck Gympie. It is very small, very overgrown & very trashy and in the middle of town. It is the exact opposite of where you want to take a 7000. Yes Warwick is a good starting point. Plenty of info here in PA if you search but Durikai GPA is a good place to try

Normal is a noticeable step up in target sensitivity from Difficult but I have only really run Normal Auto + in creek beds. Outside of that it falses too much. Most of the time I run Difficult Auto + and just accept the warbling (ex SDC owner as well ). Auto is a noticeable step down in...

What were the mods to your mates 4500 and who did them?

Hey Wow shaft plus coil 1023g? that would make it slightly over 900g coil. Hmm it is back in the race...I will have to borrow one next time I am out in company.

Thanks. 1100g is more than I am willing to swing these days and having tasted the freedom of wires, bungees, harness etc that the 6k provides I cant go back, I wont go back, I just cant :( I note in the D-P table 10x16 spoked NF (=13") is 800g but I dont think that coil is actually...

Very true 17 +13 =30/2 =15. I havent used the ML 17x 13 but I have seen 2 different weights quoted - 800g and 1106g. If it was 800g then i would be very interested as that is lower than the Coiltek Goldhawk 14x9 (900g). At 600g the ML 11 coil is very light for its size. It is actually the...

I use the ML 11" wherever I can as it goes pretty deep, sees damn small and has a fair sized hotspot. The large hotspot is nice for finding a target but sometimes gets me in trouble with pinpointing. If there is shallow tiny tiny gold (<0.15g) around or difficult access ( spinifex/ rocks) or...

That specific one may work fine for powering starlink but its advertised capacity is a crock as 200 000mAhr is 200 Ahr. A genuine lithium battery of that capacity would be twice the size of a normal 4wd battery, even if it is a LiPo and cost over a grand. For myself, I am just going to...

In more mineralised soils I prefer GKruzer as it runs much quieter, but in lower mineralization, like creek beds, the 800 will see small gold a bit deeper. Both are good machines.

To deposit enough gold to make a decent nugget many cubic metres of gold bearing solution must have flowed by each point. I could never figure out why the hydrothermal fluid passing a point in a crack should keep depositing gold on gold on gold at that very very localised point and not just as...

https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/geology/earthquakes-can-trigger-quartz-into-forming-giant-gold-nuggets-study-finds Well we already knew it was mainly from hydrothermal fluid precipitation but never really knew why it was localised so much in some spots in the vein to make nuggets. I...
