How Small Does It Need To Be?
Wendell Clark replied to Lead Detector's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I take every piece that makes my detectors sound off. The only time I have ever thrown them back was by accident. -
Thanks for the link.

In Need Of A Good Pick For Detecting
Wendell Clark replied to Gold Dozer's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Bunks Hermit. I really like mine, the reversed shovel head is perfect for removal of looser material over bedrock. Never thought I'd say it but everyone needs more than 1 pick. -
12x7" Nugget Finder Xceed First Use Impression
Wendell Clark replied to phrunt's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
I have been waiting to read your take on the NF coil, thanks for taking the time to post in detail. I use my 10 x 5 more than the stock 11. Looking forward to reading about further use but in the meantime you have cured my FOMO. -
12x7 Xceed 6000 Great Depth
Wendell Clark replied to Goldseeker5000's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Nice finds Reese. How do you think the NF 12x7 compares to the stock 11 in depth and sensitivity? -
My Take On The Gpx6000 Factory Audio Mod
Wendell Clark replied to Aureous's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
Your experience mirrors mine to a T. I have had a good one from the start, only use the supplied BT phones but early on had a coil failure, it was quickly replaced. When the CT 10 x 5 was available I got one. I do not notice any increase in sensitivity, but it is more maneuverable. I view the update as something that must be done much like a part recall on your car. I bought the detector Nov 21, update was done when I read here JasonG had sent his away, so I have had it back for a few months. -
Agreed, it is a bit of problem that plug does not seat to the base without at least three steps.

Way to go, congrats. Made for a great read!

I tried my 10 x 5 last Friday and was cut short by weather also. The things I noticed were, the signal created by axis rotation was greatly reduced. It seemed to be more sensitive to very small hot rocks but the signal disappeared after the first pass which was confusing at first. The coil seems stable but my 11 is also so nothing different there. It will be useful for working tight areas.

Thanks, yes on using the 11.

Today I got the deepest piece of gold I have dug to date. Using my 6000 I was detecting an old push in the Cargos. It was a very faint signal that got a little stronger with each boot scrape. I started removing more dirt with my pick and the signal kept getting stronger. When it was finally out and in the pile the hole was deeper than the coil turned on edge. I was real slow and careful about removing the target so I did not bury it. This thing was coil on edge depth. The orientation had to have been very flat. I only wish it would have been a little more portly. This is the first PI machine I have ever used and I am pleased with it.

Make Gpx 6000 Headphones Quieter In Wind?
Wendell Clark replied to jasong's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
I have done this also. It works well enough. For whatever reason the supplied 6000 headphones are terrible in the wind.
