I don’t seem to have a problem using the speaker, matter of fact it is all I use. I also extend out the coil to the max meaning to the red line on the shaft, and being its carbon fiber i crank down hard on the cam locks knowing It would take alot to break them (Plus I figure if I break them they’re still under warranty for three years LOL so why not give it a shot). The further the coil is away from the speaker probably reduces EMI? I only run my speaker at like one or two on the volume because it’s plenty loud enough. I’m going to do a write up here soon I just got a find a time to do it. People just need to realize that this is an SDC type of threshold. It’s not an Equinox type of threshold.

Closer to the ear, maybe less EMI. Kind of like the WM12. Just what I am used too and like using.

Anyone with half a brain knew you were being facetious.🤣 I enjoy any information that you give whether it’s positive or negative. It helps people make informed decisions as well as provides great advice when using your equipment in the field. I guess the negativity from others comes from the jealousy that they do not get to test the equipment out before bringing it to the public. One of the downsides for you but hopefully the upside of being able to test new equipment and give feedback is worth it.

Correct. None, so far, are. But honestly the 6k speaker works great at least for me.

Right on JP! Any of those big chunks come at good depth?

Says in the comments it was 2.9g. Said both 7 and 6 heard it and both sounded at first like faint ground noise. Thats why you do the boot scrape 😁 Bummer on the spike

He was joking about the pic being rotated vertical

I too had fun MDin’ in Zortman. At the time I was using my SDC. Those dredgers never get it all 😂

Thanks Chase! Have you ever run across just a speaker? Something that could just clip on to your pack or harness?

That’s what I was thinking too! No gloves and putting his face over the container after he dumped it in. 🤣

I had the error, closed out the browser and restarted it, works fine now.

Very interesting! I wonder if they fix it if there will ever be a recall.

You found those with the 6k?

I’m on it 😁

1 down 9 to go 😂

Probably the most educational one in awhile too. 😉

Thanks Phrunt for posting that one. Its only 3 days old and I haven’t had a chance to look at Youtube recently. All info is good info, people can pick it apart all they want and we all should so as to ask more questions and perform new/revised experiments. He tried to do what he could do and showed his experiment, methods and results. Now you using your own brain can decide whether to accept the results as valid or not. The more info we get the better decisions you can make.

Me too I am curious as well. What I am wondering though is if so many 6ks and coils went to Africa how come no reviews or comparisons done from them. I mean they were sure quick to get out intro vids before the release date. Also why no 6k vs Z in-depth comparison reviews? Even folks who wanted to see this and now have a 6k to do this have gone silent. I am looking at you you Rob 😊

I was kind of wondering if this might be the case. SDC style of threshold and EMI reaction. And it makes sense like you said, bigger coil makes it more susceptible. For a lot of people that like silky smooth threshold they’re gonna have some relearning of how to listen through the noisy threshold unless you used and SDC extensivly.

Depth should remain the same no matter what sensitivity setting you use. It’s just the amplification of the signal that you’re getting. If you reduce the amplification, the signal is still there just “softer.” That is pretty much the case for any metal detector. It’s the technology that you’re using that increases the “depth.”

Minelab can do whatever they want with their inventions. It’s called capitalism not communism. At least that’s how it’s done in this country. If they don’t think they’re getting enough money out of their consumers they’ll change their marketing and how their products are made. Don’t like it? Don’t buy it.

Maybe there will be some kind of Faraday cage add on that Minelab will sell us 🤣🤣

Good luck getting someone to compare this to a Z outright. I have ben asking that for months.

Actually it is designed for outright depth. It has 4 out of 5 stars as compared to the Z on the star chart. Doc wrote a very compelling article over on Rob’s forum and kind of describes how that is. I found it very interesting.
