Hi all, my partner and I have been prospecting for a couple of years now, my partner has a nox 800 and me a monster. Have only found a lot of lead shot, nails and the usual rubbish. So now we are looking at upgrading to a GPX 5000 and an SDC 2300. I see a number of 5000s for sale on Facebook...
There is so much more to learn about the 5k, eg..
From memory on a test I did, (in particular settings) a 0.3 gram bit at 10 inches I can make it sound like a 1 grammer at 3 inches just by switching from fine gold to sensitive extra with the 17x13, if I drew a responce/depth curve the responce...
Has anyone replaced the muffs on a GPX 6000 or Equinox 800 set of headphones? Mine are losing their black coating but the headphones still work fine. Are the headphones made by Minelab or are they a re-brand?
Thanks Andrew
Hello all. Looking to get into some gold prospecting.
I'm pretty green but I've been researching metal detectors.
Have been leaning towards the GPX5000.
Any thoughts on whether this would be a good choice for me?
Also, some coils that have been mentioned to me are:
12" Evo Coil
19" Evo Coil...
Reluctant sale as I just don't get out enough!
GPX5000, serial no. B8009271, including
- original mono Minelab Commander coil
- Evolution 17x13" Nugget Finder coil (this one lives on my machine, and gives both depth and pinpoint accuracy)
- massive 24" Coiltek DD Pro coil for looking deep. Some...
Hi all I have up for sale my GPX 5000.
Comes with two batteries three nugget finder coils and a Minelab 12 inch round mono. Has a bungie cord and a swing stick, few other extra's in there also like a external speaker and signal booster and more.
I've relocated to Tassie and have no use for it...
Ok so after having a lengthy conv3ersation to the guys at Brisbane Gold (Miners Den Partner) they have shown me the light of ML over the new garret ATX.
What is the best gold specific ML PI that would suit me for around NQ soils, and still be enough investment to last me for quite a few years...
Hi all, Sorry if this video has been mentioned before.

Hi,
Starting some preliminary investigation into my purchase of a detector in the first half of next year.
Seems the only real option is just between which Minelab to buy.
Keen to hear what the real differenceis (apart from the dollars) between the 4800 and the 5000, if spending that level of...
Hello All.
would it be a good buy if I decided to own 5000. After looking through the specs of the 4500 and 5000 I found little difference.
Can someone advise the practical benefits of the additional bolts and whistles of 5000 against 4500. Do they worth it?
I used 4500 and 3500 in past and...
Hi all IM getting my first detector and would love some tip on how to set it up what are others doing how have you found them any info you think will help someone just starting out not just to help me but others to come that will also benefit from this info
