I think JP summed it up nicely. Yeah, 6000 gives Monster run for the money, but I still bet on Monster for the tiniest bits. Yeah, the 6000 gives the 7000 a run for the money, but I still bet on the GPZ for the deepest bits. For me 6000 is SDC that should have been, in regular box, with swappable coils. And better ability to obtain a smooth threshold while retaining power. SDC is more compact, fully submersible, less expensive, and will kill hot rocks that will bother 6000. But for me there is no comparison. Maybe an SDC owner that has Coiltek coils, but not really. That’s an aftermarket kludge, and looks it. So you could say the 6000 is like an SDC done up like a normal detector. But for me in my mind it’s “GPZ Lite” as the 6000 audio responses largely mirror GPZ responses as far as hot rocks and salt, though the 6000 handles salt way better. But anyone used to a GPZ will find 6000 familiar, just easier and smoother. It’s all very straight forward, with the only calculus here one to be made by people weighing 6000 vs 7000. For the power users, it will come up GPZ or GPZ plus 6000! For people like me.... 6000 all the way. I’m enough older than JP that our paths have now parted ways. Power guys are more in JP camp, I’m more in retiree camp, slowing down, and the GPX 6000 was made for me. Perfect detector at perfect time of my life. It’s 6000 + Equinox for me, 100% covered for anything. 6000 first, Equinox for trash and the tiniest bits (also gives Monster a run for the money there). All I can say is I let the 7000 go when 6000 entered radar, have not regretted it yet. In fact after yesterday, I’m happier than ever. Just spent a day digging Nevada nuggets, my shiny new GPX 6000 is no longer a gold virgin! Dig some more today.... report soon. I think I’m ungagged

Went on a couple of hunts this past week trying to put my new Coiltek 10x5 Nox coil through its paces and then using my trusty Deus at my favorite relic farm site with numerous iron patches and high mineralization. Tested the Nox coil out on a Colonial site and scored a couple of keepers at decent depth in sandy soil including a flat Tombac button and a brass makeup case with a fancy "wreath" design. Snagged a tiny flat button there when switching over to the Deus and round 9" hf coil. in thick iron. A week later it was off to my relic paradise site we have been pounding regularly for a few years and steadily since November when I got the privilege to hit it after harvest and deep discing and snagged a $1 gold piece and about 30 other relics - perhaps my most productive single day ever. The site "refreshes" itself with every plowing. Anyway the finds were tailing off and this was the last trip before spring planting. Took the Deus out and got on the board quickly with a minie ball. Started pulling different types of minie balls including a .69 caliber "fatty", a confederate Gardner, and a really rare dropped .54 cal Merrill carbine, as well as some "generic" 3 ringers. But the highlight was an iffy high conductor signal - hoping for any silver at this point because they have been few and far between at this site, lately. Little did I know that I would be checking off a bucket lister that I have been hoping to snag for some time now. Flipped the plug and knew what I had with just a glimpse. Welcome to the finds pouch my freshly dug 1835 Capped Bust Liberty Dime. Some non-metallic eyeball finds and miscellaneous brass and lead fragments including a porcelain 4-hole button rounded out the day. Enjoy the pics...

I’m was on the GPX 6000 development crew. This is my first production level model, a step up from my last prototype... which I thought was great. Sadly for some out there, this means I have a 17” mono while the rest of you wait, but being a tester does have a few benefits. You folks that already own Minelab PI type tech... good for you, be happy! However, if you are a VLF hunter and been hanging back on the PI thing.... if you can afford it, now is the time to take the dive. Very powerful, very ergonomic, very easy to operate. Only caveats, no disc, and price. Otherwise, this is the machine you’ve been waiting for. GPZ 7000 is too deep a plunge, this is just right for a lot of folks. Says GPX 6000 fan number one, so just ignore me. I was Equinox fan number 1 for a reason, and this completes my set. GPX 6000 plus Equinox 800 equals nugget hunting bliss. A Monster might hit a hair smaller than my Equinox, but it’s close. The GPZ will hit a one pound nugget deeper... but I’ve had my shot there, not worried about it after 50 years of detecting. My Equinox 6000 is tops, that’s my story, and I’m sticking with it. Not worries about going toe to toe with GPZ operators in Nevada at all, as if you add it all up, salt, shallow small gold, it’s a genuine push as to which is the better choice.

Maybe the finds were light but the trash was heavy. I'm getting nervous that the farmers will show up and I'll be out of the fields for the rest of the year. I've never dug so many bullets, all either vintage non military, or brand new black powder, mostly in the 50 caliber range. I was hunting a roadside in this field near my house today. There was a horse racing track here long ago, the farmer "killed" the side of the road it was on, not sure whether he did it so I could check it out, but we did discuss it a while ago. This is only half the road looking back to the entrance, I'm pretty sure it's about a half mile long or more. This field is over 200 acres. Didn't find much: A fired musket ball, a ramrod tip, an odd shaped bullet that was interesting enough to keep, a 1912 wheat penny and an unidentifiable wheat, and my favorites of the day, most of a 1600s spectacle buckle and an 1800s 2 piece button. Looks like the button was decorated but bronze disease has taken its toll. Just before I wrapped up the farmers stopped by and gave me some great intel about this area. They figure I have another week or so before they plant. Great guys!

The 6000 is all about light weight and amazing sensitivity on the sub gram stuff with good outright 5000 depth performance of which we are already very familiar. This has all been bundled into a modern electronics platform with the inclusion of GeoSense PI so the 5000 outright depth aspect of the 6000 will have a positive effect on its overall use. The 6000 does an amazing job at what it was designed for, namely pulling gold out of thrashed areas, everyone talks about not wanting to lower themselves to chasing ‘fly chit’ gold but at the end of the day its fun to go home with a few bits and pieces in the jar. For me the situation has not changed except in one aspect, I no longer carry around an SDC as a mop up beeper for when the tiny pieces are plentiful and instead use the GPX 6000. For those times when I do not want to ‘rig up’ a 7000 the 6000 is just plain fun and if I do get my 6000 coil over a nice piece then at least I am now in with a chance. At the moment I’m seeing so many people making little comments about ‘why get a 6000 when I can still get tiny pieces with my GPX 5000 or GPZ 7000?’, it grows so tiresome seeing this type of remark!! The 6000 has not magically stopped the other techs from finding smaller pieces. The 6000 is going to be very popular with the hobbiest who just want to find a little nugget without all the weight and complication of other machines, they just want to switch on and start detecting and have half a chance of finding some gold no matter how small. In the mean time my main stay detector is the GPZ 7000, it is still king of the mountain in spite of that mountain being huge and cumbersome. 😂 JP PS do you have any idea of how repetitive this sounds? 😡 For the past 20 odd years I’ve been saying the exact same damn thing every time a new detector comes out!!! Probably the worst machine in all those years was the GPX 4000 and it was still revolutionary thanks to the Sens Smooth type timings!!!

I’ve been detecting for gold for a VERY long time and have seen a lot of crazy things happen over the years but this recent experience takes the cake. On the same day but prior to when I filmed my son Joshua digging some gold with the GPX 6000 I heard Josh calling out to me to come take a look at what he was holding. I was perplexed to say the least because it looked like a big dead stick, so I just assumed he had some sort of interesting critter sitting on the stick and wanted to show me. When he got closer I couldn’t see anything that might have attracted his attention but he was looking at the stick very closely, so I just assumed it must be a tiny critter. Then he started mumbling something about getting a signal and how he had kicked the stick away and the signal had disappeared so he went and waved over the stick again and pow a signal coming off the stick!! At this stage I’m thinking a 22 Bullet or a slug gun pellet wedged in the wood. Then I saw what it was that had got him so excited!! 😝 Yep thats a small nugget wedged into the wood, how the dickens it got in there is anyone’s guess. I’m thinking it was in the gravelly wash around the trees root bowl and the tree had been blown over during a rain event (it’s obviously very old) and maybe a nugget had come up with the root bowl and then been washed across the trunk with the nugget then wedging itself into the crack!! Anyway it seems the GPX6000 can find gold in all sorts of strange places. 😂

Got to spend an hour with mine last evening. Thanks to JP for sending it out so promptly 👍 What do you do with a new detector? Put it in Normal and turn the Sensitivity to 10!! 🤣 Went to a local spot that has been a very small gold spot - one that I have described here when using the GPZ and Monster. Found 1 little piece of quartz that could only be described as having a splash of gold on it. Got tomorrow off so will get out and test properly with more regular settings, undug targets and swapping between settings to see what works best in my ground. Ergonomics - brilliant!! Audio with speaker - as loud as you could want. Headphones - connected easily via BT and good sound coming through. Threshold - considering I was in Sensitivity 10 it was actually not bad. Think an SDC on Sensitivity of 3 - just a little chatty. Dug some ground noise and got 2 hot rocks but this is rich, red clay type ground with wet pockets in amongst dryer pockets and running the unit at max it was not a surprise. Initial impression - love it.

Steve, You got my attention at "happier than ever"! Let us know how that elusive 17" coil works for deeper targets...it may just reduce the GPZ edge on deeper bits. WOW, so excited I pre-ordered a GPX 6000 and traded in my GPZ, this is going to be a game changer for those of us in retiree camp and slowing down.😄 Thanks Gerry McMullen. No more: Heavy detector, ML harness with struts, ferrite to GB, GB decision of Auto, Semi-Auto or Manual, trying to maintain proper coil control with a heavy coil, not being able to scrape the ground, X signal and saturation signal confusing the detector, wet salt signals that make the detector go crazy, etc, etc, etc. I'm FREE! Bill

I don’t see how anyone could not like it, just swinging it and listening to it. Yeah, I know, wear headphones... except I don’t anymore. The speaker is so loud it literally vibrates the speaker grill at full volume No harness, no bungee, no headphones... you may not find gold, but you’ll be comfortable doing it!

Let’s just say we have different ground. I recommend high mineral, big gold people lean to JP, low mineral, small gold folks to me. Our observations and recommendations will be different. Any doubt, see Steve’s Insane GPZ Setting. I’m not saying you will never need DD coil, but I’m also saying a 6000 with 11” mono handles my salt ground better than a GPZ with stock coil. Is that because the coil is smaller? Of course. Does not change the fact that out of box, I’d rather run a 6000 with 11” mono in salt than a GPZ with stock coil. On my ground, the GPZ with stock coil acts more like the 6000 with 17” mono. The DD is not because the 6000 is inherently worse at salt or EMI, but that if either of those things stop what you have now.... it won’t stop a 6000. Yes, there is a performance hit, but if what you are doing is failing 100%, then it’s better than that. That’s the whole point. You never put the DD on unless it will help you, not hurt you. You will know when that is because you will want to toss detector in ditch. With 6000, put on DD, problem solved. But no problem, no DD coil.

You’re not free, metal detecting with the 6000 will still have all the little pre-ambles that are associated with the laws of physics. So scraping the coils is still a no no (In mineralised variable ground types), this is because the 6000 is an extremely early sampling PI, as such it will react to ground signals just as much or even more if you do not exercise some coil control, just that now it is a LOT easier on the GPX because it really is a lightweight sweetie. ❤️ 😊 To deal with salt you will need to use the DD coil and that means a heavier coil, but wow is it sensitive to small surface gold, and I do mean WOW 😳 Tips for forum readers: Use the headphones direct wired for the cleanest smoothest threshold. 😉 Use the Quick-Trak button often especially in variable ground to keep that GB within the 95% to 99% of accurate range, there is no such thing as a positive or negative offset with a ML PI, always try to keep that GB exactly where it needs to be. In some ground types there is actually two Ground Balance points, one is approx 50mm from the ground and up and the other is between 50mm and almost touching the ground, in extremely variable ground that close to ground GB is the most important one and requires effort to maintain, use small pumping movements of the coil with Quik-Trak held in, bringing the coil down to just about kissing the ground (or where saturation is felt) until there is minimal movement signal on either the up or down movement. Do not be afraid to back off the Sensitivity, the 6000 Sensitivity is very much environment based so ground signal has the same value as EMI in the scheme of things, as an experiment back off the Sensitivity control to zero (1 bar) and test a tiny surface signal to see what I mean. DO NOT be tempted to crash too much volume into your audio, it is best to start with a low volume and slowly increase as that is much easier than going from high volume to lower volumes. This is especially important when using the BT headphones as there are double volume controls available and a balance needs to be made between the detector and headphone volume controls. Hope this helps JP

Trash is easier than gold so far this morning good showing already though so no worries, will finish out day, be home very late. I just wanted to note that fact production unit was delivered to my doorstep means dealer units are not far behind, probably on the way right now.

JP, I've followed every one of your reviews and tips way back to the first GPX and I well remember the heat you have taken on each new Minelab release. The old Finders Forum was a hoot because for me it's a hobby and the unbridled opinions and malice expressed by its members defied logic. My post was rhetorical, just bringing some of the various internet comments and questions to one place for a little pre-release exposure here in the US. Me and most of the DP members are anxiously waiting for your unrestrained views and experiences with the new 6000. Your expertise is always appreciated.

The GPX 6000 is an extremely early sampling PI, as such it will react to salt signals because salt effects detectors that early sample (VLF are very bad for salt signals too). Early sampling is kind of like higher frequency which is also affected by salt so in the case of the GPZ the High Yield timings suffer the most because of both these scenarios. The way to deal with salt is to Slow the coil speed down (salt is swing speed dependant) Have a faster motion filter like high freq VLF detectors do (Recovery) Use smaller coils A dedicated coil that can cancel salt signals out which is the method used for extreme salt conditions with the GPX 6000. The GPX14 DD coil is an amazing blend of size for best depth and sensitivity due to the way the GPX 6000’s Cancel and Salt Tx and Rx modes work. If a DD coil is 14 inches in size then effectively it has a 7” Tx and a 7” Rx which is way smaller that the supplied 11” monoloop. As such the DD will hit on tiny surface targets a lot better than the 11” mono if the gold is shallow, but the 11” mono will have more outright depth. JP

Although good to see the first "test comparison", I would caution to rush to early judgements. There is so much more that needs to be considered when comparing machines and performances that I doubt such a simple test will serve justice. The 7000 stands out in so many aspects that are not considered in the simple test experiment shown in the video.

Do as much research as you can on that Horse Race track to unlock that site .If you can find the hot spots thy should be very good producers, Aerial photos may help along with existing or past roadways. Try to figure out how it was laid out; entries & exits, grand stand, parking & concession areas. Don't overlook the less public areas. There was lots of non respectable activity going on also. Official bets were paid in hard money and it got spent often at the same site. I have been hunting half of a never detected half mile oval track from the late 1880's to mid 1920's for the past two years. Lots of quiet ground with small to mid size areas of concentrated targets. Race tracks were all out roaring spots in their day. Mine even has an out of the way corner where the working girls resided. Some very interesting finds to be made.

For those of you that carry a PLB or EPIRB, I’m not sure which Minelab or PLB and EPIRB models are affected, but there’s an interesting discussion and a Minlelab advisory about accidental activations due to a PLB sitting too close or touching an active coil. Just something to look out for if you carry one when you’re out and about. They recommend keeping it further away than 10 cm from a active coil. https://www.prospectingaustralia.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?id=35628

My shoulders are literally writing minelab a thank you letter as we speak :)..... Cant wait for Saturday to finally get this thing out thru its paces!!.....Its been a long week at work already while knowing what is in my cupboard!!!

Been bulldozing a lot with the 11” mono. Get a speck nearer the winding, bang! And yes, in the right ground little invisible hot rocks will make it impossible, but here at least I’m good. Guys here will love it, but gimme that 6x10 scrubber also please.

Not for me, been scrubbing the heck out of the 11” coil, going to need lots of scuff covers. So funny you say that... I’d say just the opposite for what I’m doing. Just goes to show why people are needed in different areas with different focus. And 11” mono handles salt so well, way better than GPZ, that the DD will be for truly worst case scenarios here... and the beach! JP and I hunt different ground, and I’m half nuts, so my Nevada recommendations will tend to be “hot” compared to JPs. I’m running the 6000 like it’s a Gold Bug 2, already lobbying for smaller “scrubber coil!”

I am a contrarian: i still like all of that! But also will enjoy the 6000.

If I owned all five of the detectors that are on the performance chart then I would definitely go find some moderately mineralized ground and see how far down I can hear each of the five nugget sizes .05, .1, 1, 10, 100 gram indicated on the performance chart, even using different coil sizes to achieve the best sensitivity and for best depth dependent on nugget sizes.This would give me a more transparent idea of the differences in detector performance, where they excell and struggle.

I find a “news release” a little hilarious at this point. Yeah, real news.... months after the Africans announced it!

Try hunting the path the bulldozer followed pushing to the ravine. Small items probably dropped out along the way.

Ah Steve just report now 🤣. If these are your final detectors what are they gonna do to ya, take it away? 🤣🤣

I don’t think First Texas has any control over the exchange rate or duty fees. I sent one of my AQ’s to a friend in the UK. Listed it as used for repair to avoid the import fee. $98.00 one way.

I've been using every resource I can, but sadly most is word of mouth. I've yet to hit the county records. There is almost no history of this area in print, and much was lost in a courthouse fire. What I do have is historicaerials.com which led me to 3 farmhouses and some great finds. The oldest photos are from 1967. They do show the old fence and hedgerow where the track was. It was a straight track by all recollection. Some of the latest Intel was there was a training field. Saddest part is that the surrounding buildings and house were hit hard by a person who spent 3 weeks there without real permission and claimed nothing was found. The silver lining is that the field (and the track) was planted during the time the person was there, so I have a chance to find a few things. The spectacle buckle proves that. I am grateful to the farmers who have owned this spot since the 1940s. They are helping me any way they can with no expectations, and may let me visit other property they own. Sounds like you have a great place of your own!

Very interesting finds, and you just keep them coming from your fields that you hunt. Good luck on your next outing.

I’m waiting patiently to see what the intel brings.

Yesterday I went on a detect and didn't get much until a little area on the beach where I found a chain. It didn't have a definitive sound but it looked like it could be silver (it's not). This made me check the area more thoroughly as I had nothing else going. I came up with another chain which is a bit of odd construction. This one would be a bracelet. And then as I was exiting this little area I got yet another chain but this one is rusting quickly. This is chain #2 During the mile back to the car I thought about how the ocean can be very fickle. No coins around these chains but 3 of them. I wanted a 4th because the rhyme and title to this post was already stuck in my brain. It didn't happen. I got the cheap ring instead of a chain. Today I was going to detect with the 800 headphones again as a result of a purchase from a forum member. I was glad to confirm to him that while they were sitting on his shelf uncharged they charged for me and also paired. Great. I was now on another beach but it was also sparse pickings. No coins to speak of and I got to one area where someone left their grid marks so I skipped that. When I headed in the other direction on a mid-line I got a small tone. When I lifted my scoop up I could see the balled up chain and I knew this one was silver. My 'line' was rescued and now I could post the title. This is chain #4. It is only 1.6g/.925. Searching the slope proved unproductive so I headed away from the beach to a dig out and found the costume ring which I think is old style but of no value. That was my beach hunting. The old costume ring. Later in the afternoon, I took my son to the park and one of the nannies said she needed my help. They normally give me help and advice so I wanted to know what I could do. She said she had lost her ring in the sand. The sunscreen had loosened the ring she bought in Peru that was 18k with some little diamonds. I had my detector in the car so I tried to find her ring. She didn't have a good idea where it came off so it was unsuccessful. While I was looking for her ring after she left I did find the 1.1 g/14k ring with a heart shaped amethyst! I don't find many rings in parks because I don't hunt them often. This should probably change. It is just good to get out.

Just from the short video detecting your car, your Equinox sounds and acts like it is operating perfectly. Mine will do the same thing within 3 feet of any large piece of metal. Default Beach 1 for most of the beach, dry or wet. Default Beach 2 when Beach 1 becomes unstable or for use in the surf. If your beach has a lot of black magnetite or basalt sand you may want to hunt in 2 tones instead of 5 or especially 50. The same goes for if 50 tones is causing personal audio overload which sometimes happens to me. I often like to hunt beaches with nothing discriminated and -9 to +40 accepted. At some of the San Diego area beaches I have hunted, I had to reject a little bit of the iron range to deal with the black sand. I ended up hunting them with -3 or -4 to +40 accepted and used 2 tones. I also owned a CTX for awhile. The tone lengths on the Equinox and CTX are very different no matter where you set the recovery speed on the Equinox since Equinox is a very high gain, very fast detector which comes remarkably close to XP Deus speeds and sensitivity considering it is an SMF detector. It will detect one millimeter sized targets even below the surface. It will never sound or operate like a CTX.

With all this talk about the GPX 6000, I’m staying with my retro detectors. I’ve found teeny ones at depth and bigger ones that took an hour to dig out. Picked up these machines from a retired detecting couple who had them as backups.....they were “new in box”. Totally unmodified except for the external tune pot on the 2100 and regulated power supply. Hooked up to the legendary light weight 18” mono Kevlar coils makes a formidable nugget hunter......no bungee required. Two detectors and six coils for 1/4 the price of the 6000. Then again, my 70 Series Landcruiser has a manual gearbox and you have to wind the windows down by hand 👍 ......

Are JP et al trading in their Z7000s in favor of the 6000? Is this the "Go To" machine for everyday prospectors? From initial reports it would appear the 6000 excels at sub half gram nuggets in OZ soils, but isn't expected to compete with the 7000 on bigger/deeper gold. Here in the US, will I have to sell a kidney for the luxury of having both detectors? It may be some time before us CONUS prospectors even see the availability of such a machine, do I sell the 7000 before the market is flooded? Does anybody know what the recovery time is for a kidney donor?

Awesome Steve can't wait to hear your thoughts on the machine!! So they really did customize it for you! 😁 Trolls are few that ruin for the many. Just remember there are the many that are not. A troll is called a troll for a reason and live under the bridge for the same reason. Forums need a "block caller" button for members, then people a user don't like would never have to see there degrading posts, then they may wonder why they never get a response. 🤣 Its sucks too because we sometimes have critical responses that we want to know opinions on but the trolls set off people and then those folks get thrown under the bus too. I have learned to ignore, I had a blow up once on a Pickleball chat, it pissed me off, but after the blow up I was still no where closer than I was after reading the trolls post. Blah. Little people behind a big keyboard.

There are TARSACCI users in Lake Tahoe with black sand and other Northern California black sand salt beach’s that are using the TARSACCI with great success. One really good example is from one of our users in New Zealand with a very HOSTILE black sand environment. Check the link.... https://forums.tarsaccisales.com/forum/1/hello-nz Aaron

What a hunt. Great finds. It's not hunted out yet.

I rate a detector test over a known target about the same as Mr. H. rates an air test. I rate them even lower when there are Minlab banners in the background.

Last year it was soybeans. They have a couple of brand new combines, so it was the perfect storm for me! I just started in August and got permission in November the day I finished my yard. Really a lucky coincidence. I have over 400 acres to hunt right outside my front door. This year it will be corn. 😵 I have a week to find the gathering places if they haven't already been bled dry by the previous detectorist. They pushed all the buildings into the ravines sometime between 1967 and now, unfortunately the ravines are ridiculously steep and would be hard to hunt.

Great stuff Chase! Congratulations. 🥳 Nice Gardner, and beautiful coin. Do I see a snuffbox, and a knife handle? Wow.

Those EGR plates were obviously put there by aliens....they've been here too !

I can usually tell chain time by what I am digging. Getting keys, key chains and other large oddball targets........it is time to pay attention!

After seeing the latest test vid in the other thread my big question now is.........Why? It was hitting a 1/2 ozt at 18" in EMI in Difficult and Sensitivity at 4. I would think with the 17" coil you could hit a pounder at 3 feet 🤣

Finally some actual measurements...thank you very much to these fellows! Add me to the impressed list as well, I think the 6000 had a better response on the big deep nugget with both coils, and clearly better response on the smaller, shallow stuff. Definitely curious how they both do in Normal and at high gains now.

He`s probably sitting on the fence, wait til he realizes it`s barbed wire...... .😉

From my perspective, when I first started detecting only 5 years ago, I think I pretty much read every word you ever wrote 🙂 This quote been my all time favourite: "There’s no point detecting in ground that is too deep for the detector so I like to keep bedrock in sight at all times"......Advice that has served me well over the last 5 years!! Thanks JP!

The default tone settings (number, breakpoints, pitch, volume) for Beach 1 and Beach 2 are exactly the same by default and vdi’s for similar targets (e.g., nickels) are typically consistent across the board independent of the selected search mode. So unless you changed settings manually from the defaults, this statement does not make sense. Suggest you do a factory reset to get everything to the default settings and tweak from there. You may have adjusted something inadvertently and that is why your Equinox is not behaving well at the beach unlike your buddies who seem to have no issues based on your statements. Sometimes a user just doesn’t click with a machine. Maybe it’s just too complex or different than what you are used to (sparky and fast). So sometimes it’s best to quit trying to find fault with your machine (which is a known good beach performer) if it is otherwise not defective and banging your head against the wall and just go back to the CTX you keep comparing it too and seem to like. It does just fine at the beach, too.

https://garrett.com/whites-manuals So, if you're after a white's detector manual they're now listed again at Garretts website. Kudos to Garrett.👏
