Air tests are great benchmarks for raw power. Everyone puts them down but you have to have a controlled no variable test to set a benchmark. Then compare to different ground types around the world.

I’m a Saturday Sojourner. 6-8 hours each week until Snow hits.

Ala GPX6000 in VLF tech.

So why ate you not emailing Minelab like GBAmature suggested instead of asking forum members who have no clue?

Need a first GPX 6000 update…..first 🤣

Definitely need a 6” or 5” for that Goldfields mode.

The lead engineer in one of the vids said 50% more power than the Nox. It doesn’t mean the Core will have 50% more depth (although would be nice for detecting junky nugget ground). With more power though comes more EMI a la GPX6000. Can’t waith to hear people starting complaining about this noisy detector when you go above 21 on sensitivity. 🤣🤣

Yeah mine does not twist either. You have to tighten it down real good. Need strong hands 😂 But I would still switch over to clamps if Minelab will supply the clamps used on the “Core”

I hope we can get those cam lock parts for our GPX 6000 😂

Did my plug fix work?

Phrunt thanks for letting us know that the 10x5 and 11 are basically the same in sensitivity (and depth?). Could you also compare your 14x9? This is extremely helpful to me. Thanks!

Mine has zero wobble and i can no longer turn it. Fingers crossed maybe that was it!

Jason, i’m going to ask a stupid question but is your coil plug plugged ALL the way in? This detector has another flaw in it as well when you plug the coil in. You have to basically plug it in three times. You will plug it in, screw it on, push it in a little bit more, screw it on push it in a little bit more, screw it on. Keep doing that until you can’t repeat that any more, at that point you will have it fully in. Might be worth a try or to double check anyways. Other people had this problem until I pointed that out.

Totally agree

I agree with jasong, airtests are useful and done in a controlled environment. It allows you to see the raw power of each coil. Too many variables doing a test outside of a controlled environment. Once you can see the raw power of each coil and where its hotspots are you’ll have a better understanding on how to use it with the ground involved. I really don’t understand why people don’t like to see air tests it’s probably the most scientific way. When you only have limited time and for my matters weekends only, I like to know the raw power of each coil so I can help determine what to buy and what might work. I don’t have time or money to buy every coil and test it out.

I always planned on keeping my 6. No Axiom for me.

Condor going back to AU! I look forward to hearing your adventures. I still wanna get there and beginning to draw interest from others in maybe 2 years

Hell yeah wow indeed!

What is the “rose” joint? This is new terminology to me. Thanks!

Looking forward to the comparisons! 😊

Well we all complain about one thing or another that could be improved, just thought this time we could actually do something instead of just complaining to each other. Mine could use some tweaks but otherwise works great ATM

Anybody get any responses from Minelab? I have not

I see a lot of posting so I assume a lot of emails were sent 😁. Post the responses too if you get one.

Now that the Axiom is out and they plan on doing updates after user feedback within the first year, we should all send Minelab an email asking for an update to all our problems with the 6000 (and wants like Fe discrimination). Its been a year and complete silence. We have a big community here, maybe if we do that and include things like Steve offloading his (and he was a big part in the 6000), perhaps it will get their ass moving to do something. If not we might be able to assume its a hardware failure and move on to the Axiom and tell them that reason in doing so! If you can type a post you can send an email. Shouldn’t take longer than 15mins. What do we have to lose! 😁😁

If everyone is waiting to buy an Axiom to see how they perform it would behoove the early adopters to stay silent and suck up all the gold before the rest of the band wagon joins. Just sayin 🤣🤣
