I can ping the one near the tip of the one the ones behind it are silent

Shape has a lot to do with it. I can hear a flat 2 grain loud but can't hear 2 grain that shaped funny

.1 gram at 2 inches with the gpx 5000? i was using find gold settings

It has a lot to do with the shape of the gold.

You could have a .1g nugget that is fairly round and solid, that your 5000 might struggle to hear.  That same .1g nugget flattened out would instead give a nice distinct signal.  There are many variables, shape being one that is very important.

The nugget being solid versus crystalline is another factor.  If the gold is 'spongy' the detector will have a harder time hearing it.

The level of gain you are able to run in your particular soil is another factor.

Which timing are you running?  Another factor.

With a small coil, you should be able to get .1g 'nugs' at a couple inches in moderate conditions.

i purchased a gpx 5000 , what is the smallest gold expected to find with it? right now i can see a .3 nugget 3 inches away with small 10x5 coil. i guess my question what is the smallest piece should i be able to find and what settings are best, another thing my detector will see .3 of gold it screams .3 of lead it will not register. 

And the GMT with the GMlong scan II Coil is a deadly combo i mean it screams on the tiny bits

i like my post on the gpx5000 but it is not as comfortable as the s on the xt18000 so i went with s

2000 through 2250

I just received my first minelab gpx5000 from gerrys detectors and the feeling is weired and hard to believe. I got into detecting at the end of last year's season October 2017 found my first nugget at berthas creek south of anchorage with a whites gmt that sparked it all

Hey Gerry it's me Moses from bethel ak

Here's mine has 2 chambers 1/4 to 5/8 in stainless tips

dont get a hog pan, all it is a pan with a built in classifier 

Id hunt the old tailings with my mxt, than use my gmt and look for the alluvial deposit and once i find that id look for the elluvial or risidual deposit with a nice pi like a gpx5000 or even use the gmt or mxt the whole way

This is what i found with my french shooter coil at bertha creek south of anchorage i have no name for it kinda remonds me of a letter maybe m for moe , first thing that came to mind was butterfly though

Dose anyone charge their gpx 5000 with solar panels?? Please and thanks

Concentrics are VLF, mono coils are PI coils. So for a VLF we have concentrics and DD coils. For PI there is mono and DD. A mono coil has a single winding that alternates between transmit and receive modes of operation. A concentric still has two coils, a transmit and a receive coil, one arranged inside the other.

Any coils that work on any of the old black box Goldmasters starting with the Goldmaster II will work on the GMT. That includes the original concentric "Longscan" coil.

I love that coil, works hotter than the french micro shooter

Hey brian i need some more stuff ill call you payday and put in a bush order.

I need the 2 and a half knozzel kit for my banker and the hose needed

How she look ? Dose this look like my punch screens will work great and giv the material more time to wash? Giv me poiters to please!!

thanks steve the metal detector is awesome I found some small gold at bertha with ita and the small micro tieru coil

I bought two yesterday and interestingly, coil covers for it were difficult to find at White's. Apparently this coil which has been around for a while for export to Africa, never saw a demand for a protective loop cover. Further investigation led me to believe that the African placer miners are very superstitious and believe coil covers to be "bad luck"......I'm not kidding!

I can't wait to compare it (on my GMT) to my GB2 on bedrock.

My hunch is that this coil will breath new life into the Goldmaster series and I'm glad.

ak mining has covers if need I have one for my gmt hit better than the dd 4x6 air test

my question is how deep will my gmt go 

cause at the moment it wont see gold the size of a grain of rice under 2 inches of dirt just on the surface

my mxt is good my gmt dosent seem to get depth

thanks Brian ill be by around 5 I have a pice of gold it wont detect under 2inches of dirt but dose great on the surface

Thanks Steve I think I got it my mxt won't pick up a tiny pice of foil but my gmt does

Hello Steve I have a? I bought a gmt a 2008 e series from a brian that was at gains creek when you found a big nugget with a Mxt . I have an mxt 300 the gmt I got from him seems weak or not ad great as my mxt can you help it's an old gmt 2008 e series is there a way I can make it better. the brian from amds aka akmining he know you I want it to be better than my mxt
