    GM1000 Falsing

    in Minelab Metal Detectors

    Posted

    Finally got out with the new Gold Monster at Jack Wade Creek in AK for 3 days over the 4th.  Ran it mostly as ML states in the turn on and go default settings.  I was surprised with it's ease of use and accuracy.  Dug bullets, shell casings, scrap brass, misc. iron and steel junk,  2 penny's and a dime, but no gold.  Only ran the large coil and did notice what at times seems to be excessive falsing when bumping large rocks and even at times foliage.  The falsing is more of an issue when using headphones.  I could live with the falsing but it seems strange to me that ML would produce a detector that would have excessive falsing  issues at the default turn on and go setting.   Anyway, I plan on using it more and with the small coil before passing judgment on the falsing issue.  Also plan on tying the wire to the shaft as recommended by phrunt to see if that helps.  Really like the auto ground balance, hot rocks were not a problem.

    Steve you should forward this to Rep. Don Young's office.  He was on the radio last week saying how much he dislikes the BLM and EPA in Alaska and how he and the Republican led house and hopefully the Senate are going to do everything in their power to fight these types of changes and to cut BLM & EPA funding when and where ever they can.  He says Obama's trying to lock up as much land as possible before leaving office.

    Minelab 2015 Dealer Conference

    in Minelab Metal Detectors

    Posted

    The Minelab dealer conference was held in New Orleans this year and I am fortunate to have been invited by Minelab. I have never been to New Orleans before so that alone has been enjoyable, though it may have been a lot more fun 30 years ago! Better was meeting with the Minelab team and learning new product details. The icing on the cake was being able to rub shoulders with various people involved in the industry, mostly as dealers from all around the world, but also people in related fields, like the folks from Coiltek. This was the first world-wide conference and I was surprised to see nearly half those attending had traveled from all over the world to be there.

    I have signed no less than three non-disclosure statements now for Minelab recently so unfortunately this post is a bit of a teaser. I simply can't say anything yet about the GPZ 7000 or anything else. If you ask even by email or PM I cannot respond at this time, but you do not have long to wait. When I am given a green light I will let forum members know and in general it is only on this forum that I will be commenting or answering questions. There may end up being leaks elsewhere but if so they will not be coming from me.

    I can say however it is obvious that Minelab is committed to remaining an industry innovator and leader and that they have formidable resources at their disposal to help insure that continues to be the case. I want to thank the many good people at Minelab for affording me the opportunity to have some input, however small, on products that make a difference in my life, and for inviting me to the conference.
