It not why they are dropping the price. It is they can and still make a profit. 🤑

For general use I like an elliptical coil of similar size of the manufactures standard coil size. (May be they did their home work) 😁

Good cross over indicated in the graph were the the features of coils come into play.

Silver is the poor man gold when it comes to investing. While gold going up don't sell silver.

Norvic you did not mention Back, Eyes and Hearing to mention a few. 🥹

When the 6000 came out, I was told that they could not sell then without going through a $5000 course at their expense and time, so they declined to sell the 6000.

In the very early day of metal detecting (late 1970s ) in Victoria Aust. First it was Aerial Photo to find surfaced places. Google Earth was released (originally as EarthVierer 2001 ) and by using Government Databases it allowed more locations to be found easier.

Silver the poor mans gold, but the gain is better when the ballistics happen.

The main thing affecting their purchases is based on advertising. We all know how deceiving their advertising is.

Many years ago while bushwalking I came across the Red Robin mine in the Victorian Alps National Park in Vic. Australia International expert Professor Rick Sibson talks about how fluids, faults and earthquakes interact in the crust to form fault-hosted gold deposits. Ken Harris has mined a typical fault-hosted deposit at the Red Robin mine in the Alps of southeast Australia. Some interesting video of Ken Harris action in his 34 year effort.

The only 100% guarantee discrimination is a divining rod in one hand and a target sample in the other. 😜 I think you are on the right track. The size of the target, the depth of the target, the response to the frequency of the target, the height of the ground of the coil, all tell a different story. Some people are better than others of reading them, but it is time for AI to catch up with us Experience Operators. 😇 Lets hope that we get most of the good targets before AI allows any first timer get that advantage.

whoops.

As shown the costs can be high..............SO SAMPLING IS ESSENTIAL BEFORE COMMITTING TO THE PROJECT.

A few years back someone took an Aus. nugget, I think it was 2 or 4 Oz and tried to sell it as an English nugget that he found there.

Reg I was not impressed with the 15000 but the GT16000 made me take notice of MineLab but their Hype restricted me from joining the band for some years.
