    I wouldn't have guessed that would happen. Weird.... :o

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    Good to know anyway. Possibly part why gumtree is packed with gpx5000 bundles for sale at the moment.

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    Wondering if the old gpx5000 coils work in any way at all or if they be totally incompatible? There was some talk early that they will work but not to full potential or something lile that. Also, is the coil plug the same as before or different? TIA

    A new QED model is on the way

    Sounds good maple leaf. Still have to send mine in for the current update soon too. Might be doing two updates in 6 months with any luck :)

    A new QED model is on the way

    Can only keep the fingers crossed it happens i guess. I assume having tracking written on the control box will mean its a reasonably high priority feature to implement.. as i said, will keep the fingers crossed and hope it happens eventually :)

    A new QED model is on the way

    I noticed on the pl4 control box there is printed setting 10 -trackng. I dont think it is available yet as gb tracking wasnt included in the latest update. It must be pretty close to releasable if the control box caters for it though i assume

    Basic QED airtest of 5, 20 and 50 cent piece.

    Hi reg. On this firmware i can only put the gain to 6 anyway. 7 or more has been noisy in the limited few tries i have had the chance of. Would you suggest getting the update to have the distance increased from null, but possibly loosing some gain ability? It seems logical to me that i should...

    Basic QED airtest of 5, 20 and 50 cent piece.

    Pre august 2020 update: Post august update: At null 51 also: 5c 11cm, 20c 8cm I didnt think to replicate that test after the august update, until all the recent forum talk. It seems like the update has lost my machine some depth. Brian says on his sadie air test yoitube vid the new pl4...

    Just bought a QED PL3

    Cqoz, should be able to get 30mm+ on a .1 nugget. Maybee do a check on all your wites and plugs to make sure they are all firmly seated in place (including ribbon cable). When i am doing the air test i prefer to have coil flat on the ground and wave target above coil. (Not on bench or high in...

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    That wouldnt suprise me going of the limited advertising minelab have released so far. I wonder how long the waiting list will be? If anything like the recent playstation 5 release during covid it might be a few months wait after you order, if not part of the first shipment

    Getting fittings onto canvas layflat hose

    Bundyjd's method worked best for me. A 20mm slot on each side of hose. Place camlock on the ground, a bit of dish liquid on the inside of the hose. Then grab the 2 slitted ends of the hose with 2 pair pliers and push it down over the camlock all the way to the bottom of the slits. Then just trim...

    Wilson brothers hand crank trommel

    I think its a copy of one that used to be around in america called the "california sluice". Apparantly that guy stopped making them and sold the rights for the design. They sure are a pretty cool unit. Im in vic so no worries using a pump here as far as i know as long as its just for water...

    Wilson brothers hand crank trommel

    Going on the weight of the trommel i am assuming it would cost the equivelant or more than the actual wb trommel. Still a bunch cheaper than 2.5k so was kind of ok with the postage costs
