I use to dig deeper holes all the time when I had a 2000 compared to my Gp extreme and 5000 🙂

We Lost John Blennart Of Tucson
Mike C... replied to Reno Chris's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
This a very sad time as John B will truly be missed by all who knew him-He put some people on to the biggest nuggets they ever found Including Robbery A as he named him.I first met JB about 30 years ago I was out hunting for gold in the middle of quartzite when I bumped into him and he was not only funnier than you know what especially when he razzed people but a real wealth of knowledge.Rip my friend 😞 -

Trying To Decide Between GPX 5000 Or GPX 6000...

If light weight and simplicity is what your looking for go with the 6000 or the new Garret-If you change your mind and want complete control I have 5000 with extras I might sell you and I live in scottsdale as well-Let me know Good luck -
Do I Trust My Manticore In The Water?
Mike C... replied to phrunt's topic in Minelab Manticore Forum
Does it something to do with where they are assembled -Hmmmmmmmm -
Have you tried Fine Gold-I have found gold under a Grain in hot ground with my 5 and thats small enough for me-I havent used a 6 or a Ax yet or even my 5 in 2 to 3 years do to my health but hopefully plan to do so again-so for now all I can do is watch the forums and vids until then-whats the smallest you found with the 6 ? PS-I tried the cordless blue tooth set up years ago and didnt like the lag but since they came out with the low latency I thought Id give it a try again .

Ive watched alot of Vids about the 6 and so far Im not impressed enough to go out and dump 6 k on it-I know my 5 could find everything Ive seen so far depth and size and i like having complete control over my settings-hell there is so many ways to run the 5 for many different conditions-sure I hate being tethered to a cable and battery but to me thats the only down fall-Im buiilding a battery pack for it now that will stick on the side of it and get rid of the battery brick and cable and do blue tooth for the audio now that its low latency-Maybe alot of the X Gpx users that switched over and finding more gold didnt know how to set the Gpx series up correctly-I have a question why didnt Minelab just put the 5 in a smaller package and keep all all the adjustability and make it so you could use all your old coils ? I have been eyeing the Axium it looks like a better fit for me with more settings than the 6 has but Im going keep using the 5 and see what Fisher and Nokita come out with-

Arizona Outback And Finders Forums Gone?
Mike C... replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
All the forums have been getting slower and slower except for this one-it doesnt seem like the owners care about them anymore-seems like social media has taken the front seat which I dont do
