Bad link sorry, but you can find it on detector prospector https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...n_id=YA1Sqm88rdY9jBv8GMBnxg==&fcc_id=Z4C-0039

Makes much more sense marketing wise. Release a month or so before Christmas and build up hype prior. Easy sales! Particularly after a difficult year....

It now looks like it will be sometime before June 2021.

Would make good business sense. If i was minelab i would not want to miss that opportunity, unless there was a last minute snag holding up stock availability.

Maybe, Component suppliers have been drying up and SE asia has suffered due to covid , who knows though -

OUCH.. that'll knock their revenue, and they already canned the 4500, double whammy

It sounds like the current range of coils will suit the 6000 which is great but that quoted weight is a deal breaker for me :N:

 

[Davent]

If its right, and weighs 6-7 pounds, like a zed, and costs $8K, and takes aftermarket coils, imagine buying a gpx that weighs a zed, + 2 after market coils, say it now costs a bit over 9k, why wouldnt you just buy a zed?
Must have some interesting features....

The screen on it gives you the depth, weight and a photo of the nugget before you dig it ,bloody fantastic

Dunno about that guys credibility. Doesnt name sources of the information. Having the details he did and no further details at all makes me a bit wary. If you know the weight and coil cable specifics you would surely have more info than that? Thats "i've seen it" information that he stated, or at the least talked to an insider details.

Im totally out if its 7 pounds
. Dunno what he was meaning by the coil cables not playing ball with the shaft design. What does that even mean? I can imagine the coils have different performances between different machines, but different shafts???

Do you think minelab will be introducing a new coil type for the 6000? Upgraded dd perhaps

First release of photos are on 19/10/2020 along with the manuals and lots of other related infos. I bet 19/10/2020 is the release date.???

Bad news, I'm afraid - all of those October dates have now been put back to 18-Dec 2020.
