Far out, made me immediately remember the start of a patch, found initially with the 5000 and 15" Evo. Very similar looking gold.

Here's my failed attempt at making a YouTube Shorts video, didn't know you had to have a vertical aspect. Oh well, so it's just a slideshow of some of the finds over the years. Good to refresh the memory on some older finds, and maybe revisit these spots with more modern gear. Gold Detecting...

A well tuned GP Extreme is still a great machine, just don't except sensitivity to match the later models. Use good headphones or an enhancer, and have a good range of DD coils in your kit. On white pipeclay with an 8" or 11" mono they can still be deadly on small gold. Good bang for the buck...

How does everyone do their Noise Cancel? More specifically, where do you hold your coil - on the ground, waist height, above your head. Also what about coil angle: flat/horizontal, at 90 degrees or a slight angle? If I know I'm going to be working undulating terrain, then I hold the coil at...

Some came in but not enough to satisfy all pre-orders. I'd say a few may head out for a swing tomorrow and this weekend.

99 grams, that's paid off the 6000!

I found about an ounce of gold with a 7000, from an area hammered by 3500's, 4500's, 5000's and SDC's. My best was 9 nuggets in one session. Eventually the 7000 could find no more. With the 6000 I have found about 9 pieces here, the biggest about a gram. I plan to rework this area with the new...

It all just comes back to when you optimise for small fast time constant targets, you lose depth on bigger stuff. VLF high Freq vs low freq... Single channel PI, slow vs fast pulse delay/width.... Trying to get tiny targets and big deep targets at the same time, while still getting rid of...

So, here's an interesting comparison on retail prices. GPZ $9799 6000 $7999 Axiom $7385 GPX5000 $4999 SDC2300 $4599 Looks like Garrett positioned themselves right in the middle of Minelab's high end offerings. So you'd expect the performance should match the price?

Wow, sorry to hear that. I guess that's one unexpected bonus of a fully waterproof detector.

Looks well balanced, shaft is nice, and seems to have a good feature set, and finally sounds like a PI. Price & performance is going to be the key factors on whether this is a success or not. If the price is up there, then it better perform. $4995 USD converted to AUD, add GST is getting into...

I still love my 4500 and on solid sluggy gold (even down to very small sizes), it can hold its head high and run with the newer machines no problem. But when it comes to fine specimens, quartz speckled with gold bits, or ironstone encrusted pieces where after an acid bath the gold is spongy and...

Testing does crazy things to your brain, as you witness all kinds of weird results. On my test bed the 4500 with 12" Evo hits all 5 targets, and pretty easy too. SDC only gets the first 2, the others are too deep. GPZ in General/Difficult hits all the targets as well. 6000 gets the first 4, but...

Nothing firm, but they haven't forgotten about it.

It's a small tweak to help with inconsistent ID's on some low conductive targets, on different ground balance values.

Ah cheers, good to know. Glad there was some useful info there for you.

Fantastic feedback, thanks for taking the time to write all that! I recently did a beach hunt with 1.09. Targets were pretty few and far between. Being the middle of winter the shallow soft sand drops have either been detected already or are too deep, and it was a crappy low tide so couldn't get...

Here's an image of the 16x10" Xceed coil. Approx. weight 880g. No I haven't tested one yet, but I like the look of it!
