I was hoping to find both on the same day. But the morels weren't popping up yet. So the same week will have to do.

I have 2 6000's. I had the speaker fix done to both of them. I notice a all around improvement since the fix. More stable and less erratic even with the headphones which I use 90%of the time. Before the speaker fix, the 12x7 nf was my 2nd favorite coil and the 10x5 coiltek was #1 because it ran more quiet. Since the fix, I'm loving the 12x7 and they both run quiet and stable now. As far as settings go, I'm using difficult/ manual and running the sensitivity at the lowest possible setting. It seems to run the most quiet for me there. And am very confident I'm not missing much.

Most overrated idea ever. You can already use the AI between your ears. Steve H. 🤣 I have another brilliant idea 💡. How about everyone has a dedicated digger person named Mongo that digs all targets for you. Then us egotistical detectorists can do what we do best. No AI, discrimination, no 2 in one detectors needed. Just Scott & Mongo.

Since we are thinking outside the box.... Why couldn't a detector also incorporate some AI into it? Then based on what signals are processed it can determine whether you should dig the target or not.

For sale a used stock 14x13 minelab gpz 7000 coil for $400 and a Nuggetfinder 17x13 DOD that is lightly used for $750. Cash only and meet up in the Reno area only.

I seen your pic on Fb earlier today. Congrats on now being ruined for the rest of your life with gold fever.

Well, I had to really work to find them 4 lil bits. And they could have possibly been left by Klunker because he is tired of digging small bits. I really enjoy running the 6000 in hilly areas. It's just plain lighter and you can place the coil in more areas over the course of a day because of that. I'm running the 6000 with a 12x7 NF on the difficult with the lowest possible sensitivity. But in all fairness, I've found super tiny bits with the 7000.

I went with a friend who is quite knowledgeable on mushrooms. He did pick some chicken of the woods. I'm just not confident enough yet on identifying it to eat them yet.

No, but they make a great meal while conversing about the gold finds.

Regular pine cones or the big Sugar pine cones?

Wondering how many out detectorists here while out looking for gold also pick mushrooms, berries and such when in season? I'm always looking. I look for Morels and Bolet mushrooms, goose and elderberries. What do you look for in your neck of the woods?

Going off of Ron's post.... but has coil technology hit a wall? What can be done with different windings? Different shapes? Computer chips. If we possibly don't see much newer detector technology, is new coil technology possible? What can be done on Monoloops? What can be done on DD's? What can be done on Concentric coils?? Will the Detector companies ever team up with X coils, Coiltek, Nuggetfinder and truly optimize coil improvements? Or should we put this wishful thinking aside and just be happy with what we already have?

You can't tell if that car is coming or going..... Kinda like Strick up at the diggins. 😜

Yesterday was the 2nd time out after having the speaker EMI issue fixed. It runs quiet as a church mouse now. I've been running with the sensitivity at its lowest setting.

I still chat with Paul every month or so. Seems to be doing well.
