I am guessing that the 6000 battery wont charge from 5v (usb).. I can still workaround it anyway as my noco gb70 came woth a 12v female cig plug adapter. So i can charge the 6000 battery from the noco. As an added extra bonus i can charge the noco with my 20000mah powerbank too so that is still...

Hi mate. Just set it to gold1 or gold2 then lower the sensitivity until it runs quiet enoigh for your liking. Possibly get into setting also and change to 5 tones as that can help tell gold apart from crap

Keeps the flies away from your face :perfect:

Is it worth putting ferrite ring on the 6000 coil leads?

I tried a usb 2.1mm "barrel" plug from both a powerbank and direct from pc to the 6000 battery and it didnt seem to like it. The 6000 battery just showed a solid red light. Plugged the battery back into the minelab wall charger and its charging as usual. Not sure if the plug is the problem or...

Thanks aussiefarmer. I should be able to remember that for next time. :perfect:

Thanks grubstake and aussie farmer. The vid os probably not helpfull to anyone but i found it a bit interesting and it gave me something to do while i was up bored with insomnia last night.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8-6qntT3LnQ With 3 metals. Sorry am not sure how to post the video like aussiefarmer did

Is cool how fast it picks up a signal. Would be interesting to see with 3 different metals spinning

Can the equinox do it? :lol: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XruxpC3clkg

Nah i meant usb to 2.1mm cable so can charge from a powerbank or pc usb slot. Ive got one of those cig plig usb adapters so would be able to use the cable via one of those cig adapter usb units too. Mainly thinking of charging with a portable powerbank when mobile. I dont think i will be really...

Found an adapter cable for usb on jayvar website https://www.jaycar.com.au/6-plug-dc-to-usb-cable-kit/p/PP1985 Will give it a try by the weekend hopefully Will have to run one of the batteries down a bit first. The kit is '$14.99. It consist of the usb cable to an adapter socket and various...

That sounds perfect for charging the 6000. Easy get 3 charges from that powerbank. Is a very cheap portable charging solution if it works ok. It also creates the option to charge the powerbank off a small solar panel too so could stay bush forever :D

Al good. Yeah i meant for charging the detector. Its not super urgent so goong in after lockdown end shoildnt be a trouble can take the battery and wall charger in at that point to compare sockets for a good fit. Thanks

Do you happen to know the jaycar part number for the lighter socket plug charge cable? Cant browse on jaycar here at the moment cos lockdown. If i jad that part number it would help me get the right plug on a usb cable as they could compare for me over phone.. Using usb might be too slow, but...

I want to look for a cable thats usb to the 6k' battery charge port plug. Then can charge off a powerbank. The 6k battery is 5200mah so a tiny 10,000mah powerbank should charge the battery 2 ttimes. That would be gairly servicable for long weekend Am pretty sure mich larger power banks than...

That might have been where i went wrong. Have decided the 6000 doesnt look that difficult to operate so will chop up what i have printed already and just laminate a few key points i might want to refer to during first few uses. Looks like it shouldnt take long to become familiar with operations...

Minelab seems to think we have VERY deep pockets. Just printed out the pocket guide and it measures 30cm deep :lol: Maybee calling it a "sock guide" or "sleeve guide" would be more accurate.. or even make it trimable so it actually fits in a regular sized pocket. :idea: :|

Found nox800 on ebay via anaconda after a better look. $994 + $9.99 postage.pretty decent price there.

I noticed it seems to be $100 off any new detector over $1000. Can also get it with equinox 800 (no anaconda ones at the moment though so price is average for a nox), xp deus (and orx package over $1k), and can even get it on the gpx6000 making it $7899. Im sure same for sdc's, 5000 & 7000's...
