Good to see Garrett not just setting around while Nokta keeps pumping out new models. will be interesting to see real head to head tests against the Nox and Manticore, and Legend. Now, how about a new Fisher.?

Coins and a ring is not too shabby in my book. 👍 The sea and the wind will have it's way with the sand....

Thanks Steve.

Thanks for that....I didn't go back in time far enough.

That was actually a very good and imformative video. And well worth the time to watch.

I need to purchase the above accessories, Shipping to Adelaide, Australia? Excellent condition SteelPHase Audio Enhancement System for GPX (including 6000) & GPZ detectors, with extra.

This lightly used one is $150 + S/H Used CoilTek 6” MONO Gold Stalker with cover $100 + 10 S/H. new with instruction Large 20” $25,

Yep, Aliexpress with Paypal is the go, I've bought hundreds of things over the years, especially little electronic bits and pieces and it's all been good, they have a good disputes process too so if your stuff never arrives or arrives faulty you get a refund. You could use two singles if you had to.

Thanks Simon. I did see that first one but hadn't scrolled down enough through the description to see the dimensions. Funny that the single is 74mm but the double is only 72 mm. My batteries are 70mm so I'm hoping they should fit. The ones I got were only 69mm and then with the springs there was just no way they were going to squeeze in. And thanks for the explanation re: the SMD and SMT. Never bought anything off AliExpress but assume I am safe enough with PayPal. Re: the hardwired batteries and solder tabs - wanted to go with the battery holder and hardwire that part with the batteries easily swapped out and also already have the battery charger for the batteries by themselves. But thanks for the suggestion 👍 Cheers, N.E.

Yes, as is explained in this thread on that same forum. I have also added the details in the pinned help thread at the top.

😉

The multi-tone Tesoros are getting pricey!! The royal sabre is a neat machine with surface blanking and notch(accept/reject) but seems a but much to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

at least you're famous 🙂

Valens That is great advice! Thank you! I have never heard that before now I gotta try it!

I am un able to post or reply in Rocks, Minerals, Gems & Geology. Is this sub forum locked to new users just like the classified forum is?

Yeah, he really did. But it is an actual Pawn Shop, too, so I really couldn't expect anything less. 😂 They say that hindsight is 20/20, and now that it is gone, I wish I would have never sold it. But, you live and you learn. 😁😉

There is this video and apparently an X-ray image out there somewhere.

Hmmmmmm......why can't I find this thread? If possible, can someone embed the link here. Thanks.

I decided to proceed to purchase a GPX4K since it gives me more flexibility to satisfy my needs for a secondary detector to find gold, in areas/patches that the GPX6K has missed or struggles on. The GPX6K will still be my primary prospecting and patch hunting detector and the GPX4K will be used to go over those patches/areas again to get any leftovers. Let me know if my expectations for the following two scenarios are realistic and/or what you would do differently: 1. I plan to use the 10x5 commander DD and the 11" commander DD on the GPX4K, for shallow to medium depth gold, in medium to hot ground and hot rocks, that the GPX6K struggles with. 2. I plan to purchase something in the size range of a 16 inch round mono coil for the GPX4K for 1 gram+ gold at depth that is beyond the reach of the GPX6K. I need advice on what coil is best for larger/deeper gold. After researching this forum and other places, it appears that the NF 16" round Advantage Mono is mentioned and also the NF 15" round Evo. It seems the Evo coils are more sensitive to small nuggets but I expect that means it is also hears more ground noise and hot rocks vs the Advantage coil. Since I am looking for larger/deeper gold am I right to think that sensitivity is not what is required? Plus I really don't want a coil that will sound off on surface bird shot since the 6K finds plenty of that. Will the Advantage coil be a better choice in this case if it is quieter and can provide a more stable threshold to hear faint deep gold?

I can't help but think that maybe the extra coil "ribbing" is there for a purpose.......I don't know for sure. Maybe it's overkill as far as coil strength/rigidity is concerned ?? I'll have to check out the original post to see if there's a before/after weight loss when chopping the coil.

While we all wondering if maybe in the near future we see a VX 11 but the big question is it a continuation from the VX9 . Will we just pay a fee to make the jump from 9 to 11 are will Garrett split the sheets so to say and start over with a new detector as in 11 12 and 13 ? Who knows and I really don’t care being I’ve yet to get the first VX 7 8 are 9 . I live just down the road from Garrett and they have yet knocked at my door with a VX 9 saying sorry Mr. Anders on keeping you waiting.haha Isn’t life Grand ! Chuck

That's really cool you made it onto Pawn Stars with it! I thought he came in low on the price though.

This is what I'm thinking about doing as well. If I can replicate the feel I get from the M9 into the M11 then I'm on it. Simple job for the dremel it would seem.
