    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    The news of minelab approved coils by coiltek in 2022 has roused my interest again. No adapters needed as the coils will be chipped from factory. Like many, im hoping for a small eliptical thats waterproof and maybee slightly lighter than a minelab 11" mono. :Y:

    Wilson brothers hand crank trommel

    They look great dont they edi. I looked pretty hard for one earlier obviously, but didnt have any luck. I was happy to pay up to $1500 to get one sent from USA or wherever, but couldn't get anything organised. The company shut down just prior to my intersst unfortunately. It is suggested that...

    QED Alternative setup method?

    Yes i got plenty of OT for the next month as the DC i am working in is shutting.it'll be a good opportunity for me to move closer to the gt.so i can detect weekly at the least. I reckon i will get more familiar with it when i get to detect more frequently. It will be nice getting out more too...

    QED Alternative setup method?

    Thanks BIB. I will refer back to this thread next time i get out, probably not for a month unfortunately at the moment (mind you, 12hr shifts on sundays is pretty much gold also, haha). I've never even tried adjusting thsa before as have no idea about it really and didnt really want to muck...

    QED Alternative setup method?

    Actually am thinking now maybee my null point has changed since the pl4 update. I didnt check today, was just assuming it was same as always has been before. I better check that before i try above null next time

    QED Alternative setup method?

    Found some time to give it a bit of a go today. It pretty quickly became evident its not really a good idea. Only had time to play around with a 5 cent on edge at 8 inch. With the super low thsb (13)i could only get a signal at about 7 inches. With super high thsb (71) i got signal at 8 inch...

    QED Alternative setup method?

    Cool. Will give the thsa adjustment a fiddling with as well. Never really touched thsa yet to be honest. Will plant a 5c at 8" also to see how i go with that too

    Snickers are made in China

    The milo bar used to be a ridge didge aussie chocolate bar. Pure compressed milo, coated in creamy milk chocolate. Mmmmmmmm. :drooling: :drooling: Then they stuffed it up by changing the recipe to something resembling a chikito. Then of course nobody bought them anymore, and that was the end of...

    QED Alternative setup method?

    Yes thats how i normally run the sadie coil also. I found it a bit noisy that way on my machine unless gain was lowish, which is why am having a shot at this possible other way

    QED Alternative setup method?

    Hi xloox. Yes this is just using the supplied logitech speaker. I have noticed that the threshold is more easily heard using wired earbuds/headphones. I prefer the speaker where possible thoigh for comfort which is why i am messing with the extra loud threshold from thsb setting. Plus, am...

    QED Alternative setup method?

    Heyo reg. Yeah, have read that from you on previous threads. I can also use same method but jack the thsb up instead of down, as mentioned above. thsb somewhere above 70 (cant remember that one precicely). So could also go high thsb for larger targets. Mind you i will need to test a larger...

    QED Alternative setup method?

    I've been playing around with the qed settings with the sadie coil and have come up with a bit of a different option for setting up than is suggested by QED officials. What i will do is turn on (factory reset settings), set on mode 1, then turn gain up to max. Then i go to thsb and instead of...

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    The big question for me still is if the machine to coil connection requires/has a micro chip. I havent been able to find a definate answer anywhere. Does anyone know for sure out there (nenad or JP maybee)? surely one of the testers would know or could at least find out easily enough. I mainly...
