GPX 6000 Introduction For Beginners Video

And after you’ve cut the top out Steve, put the scuff plate back on and cut the excess from it, and you have a perfect fitting scuff plate for your new open coil. -
The choke is purely for reducing transmitted and received EMI, it is needed for FCC compliance.

Minelab GPX 6000 Full Reveal In February 2021?
egixe4 replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Errr, because Minelab wanted it to be, just like the Arab Video LOL -
Your understanding is correct, Gold is a very good conductor, and only copper and silver are better. No other explanation is necessary.

GPX 6000 - How Do Others Compete?
egixe4 replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
That’s the million-dollar question, The 5000’s ruggedness, coils and price point maybe? My QED sent my SDC into retirement it was sold, it also relegated my 5000 to my backup machine. -

I believe this machine could be the machine that quite a lot of Aussies have been craving for a long time. We know it’s light, if it can maintain a high sweep speed without careful coil control, then it would be a “Prospectors Dream” great for covering a lot of ground and finding that 1st speck, then bring in the 7000. -

New Finds With The Nugget Finder Z Search Searchcoil
egixe4 replied to Rob Allison's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Minelab had no qualms taking coil manufacturing away from their two local and loyal 3rd party coil makers, Coiltek and Nugget Finder essentially giving them the bird. I was somewhat surprised when Nugget finder started building coils for them again. I don’t like chipped coils that limit the consumers choice and usability of 3rd party coils on what are not cheap Detectors. Without X coil I doubt Nugget finder would be building Z coils. Giving the Chip to one and not all, could be considered Anti-competitive behaviour. -
Minelab and their dealers need an umbrella when they dream about such customers. They don’t even have to work to get a sale, all profit and no work for them. You don’t know the weight and balance of the machine, or what the Geo Sense technology is Is it comfortable for YOU to swing? Can it except legacy GPX coils? are the supplied coils chipped? when are DD coils coming out for the thing? Warranty, price?
-
A set of Double D as well as PI? I assume you mean mono not PI, PI is the transmission method, not a coil But then the question would be why? A Double D coil can Emulate a Mono Coil as Chase has already explained, so it would make more sense for the 6000’s coils be DD in the first place?? Unless the 6000 coils are actually concentric, where you could get 2 different sized switchable mono’s using the outer or inner coils, and emulate a DD (almost) by switching to transmit and receive using the outer Transmit and inner receive. But this is all pure speculation, Rather than beat one’s self up with all possibilities, why not just wait and see?

Yeah, have to agree James, I also miss some of the spots that have now been levelled, with little or no evidence remaining, of the blood, sweat, tears and in some cases the immense riches and joy experienced by the pioneers, that built the foundations of this country. Jim Stewarts description is a good one, and some of those pock marked faces should be preserved. I’ve also pulled some good bits from the Waanyarra area. And Like Geof said above “A lot of historical sites have been ruin by illegal machinery operations ( and some legal ones too), that make the chicken scratching's made by all the manual detector operators as hardly detectible”
