PhaseTech

Can you please email me, as I'd like to try one of these on the E1500 detector. nenad@phasetechnical.com.au

Need to just pull the bungy up firmly so it looks into the groove like in your first image. Should be very hard to move then.

Correction - 3.5mm, or standard 1/8". Make sure you keep your sP01 topped up if you're not using it.

Nice work! Was that with the 8" Detech, or did you get the borrow the 14x9" Evo?

A 15x12" mono would go deeper than the DD version, and the 11" Ultra on the following two provisos: 1. If you can use Normal or Sensitive Extra, as opposed to Sensitive Smooth 2. If the target is a good size

If you want to use in mineralised soils and on wet sand, Quest Xpointer II. If you want iron ID and are ok with a VLF pin-pointer, Xpointer Max or the Nokta Accupoint will both serve you well.

The Ultra Sensing 11" and 14", the Super Deep 15" Mono, and the 15" Ultimate DD are all flat/spiral wound. All other Detech GPX coils are bundle wound to the best of my knowledge.

A couple new videos that have been posted.

When swinging, I find my hand feels more natural when it's resting on the bottom of the handle. That gives me about an inch and a bit of clearance to the bottom of the control box. I'll probably still put a thin layer of tennis racquet grip tape as I did the same with the 7000 and 2300. Probably got so used to the foam grips from the SD days right up to the 5000.

Here's a few things on my Minelab dream list: A 6000 with a lot more control - independent threshold, tone control, front end gain adjust, more timings etc. A 7000 that's gone on a diet - don't need the GPS, and a nice mid size semi-elliptical concentric would be great. A gpx5000 Pro version - full carbon shafts, SD series khaki green box, a small internal battery to give me 6 hrs run time, but still able to hook up the external battery pack. External manual tune pot like the 3500. No coil supplied. And a little bit of SDC/6000 timing magic for an improvement on specimens. Actually, if they did this, I probably wouldn't need the first two ☺️ Heck they can even stuff my sP01 circuit inside if we're really dreaming. A Sovereign type machine that's fully waterproof, i.e. a Garrett infinium style control box that I can chest mount. Aqua Sovereign or Excalibur III? None of the above is using new technology, so quite achievable, and would sure get me wanting to upgrade.

Welcome Pete. Plenty of fellow Aussies on this forum.

Steve, there is supposed to be a redirection in place but it seems it isn't working. I have got in touch with my domain provider to see what's going on.

SteelPhase was Pat & myself, now it's just me.....and my local engineer, printers, laser engravers etc who help get all the parts ready 😉

Rob still sells them. Direct link to SteelPhase brand: https://phasetechnical.com.au/steelphase/ Many still prefer the plug and play simplicity of hardwired set ups Simon, me included. Less things to charge, and never any crackles and drop outs. Saying that, there's still plenty of options for incorporating the sP01 into a wireless setup as many users have already. GPZ - just connect to the WM12's headphone socket SDC (or any other unit for that matter) - mount the sP01 on the unit and run a wireless transmitter from the sP01 output. 6000 - cleanest way is to get a Quest LL wireless receiver, and plug the sP01 into that. (1/4" socket onboard) https://phasetechnical.com.au/quest-bluetooth-low-latency-receiver-suit-gpx6000/ Still strong demand for the sP01, and the headphones seem to have gained in popularity in the last few months as well, which is unusual as it's usually the quieter time for gold prospecting related gear so can't work that out.

I have a couple Sovereigns here, and still like to beach hunt with one occasionally. Chest mounted with the Detech 13" ultimate and I can go for hours. That smooth threshold buzz, and just waiting for the threshold tone change to indicate I've gone over something. Simple and effective.
