Let's call. They make these google voice translators that can speak.....

Hi Rob, can you please confirm that any warranty for the GPZ is voided in case after market modifications, such as the adapter for the X-coil, is being made that are not authorized by ML or that are not done by an authorized ML dealer? This has been my understanding all along and for sure was one of several reasons for me not to do any of this sort. My GPZ still has full warranty and It would not occur to me to jeopardize that for a 8k investment. Just wanted to make sure I am not wrong here. Thanks. (PS: PM me if you have a NF coil in store-I think I am already on your waiting list ;))

Here is what the display looks like. A bit similar to the GM.

I still plan to use the SP01 with it, so cable is needed and an appropriate wireless transmitter

I can probably let you know by the weekend, need his ok first. But several dealers should get it in soon (my own guess)

The word is around 6k US. I will be on the preorder list next week then I will be able to tell for sure.

Could be his last video as a ML dealer then...

They should do a better job with coordinating video releases. Funny that the very first video is in Arabic without an English version with the whole world watching. Also, I don't see skid plates in the box unless they are already mounted on the coils. Hard to tell from the video.

Swiss alps are beautiful. Did not know they have gold deposits there. Awesome place then to "test drive" the 6000. 😁

I wonder if the "experienced" detectorist always needs that many settings to play with. Take a look at the SDC. Practically no settings and yet it is being used by beginners and advanced detectorists alike. This is because the SDC is a specialized detector that is nearly perfect for certain ground and terrain conditions. Who knows, perhaps the 6000 outperforms all other machines under certain conditions (that yet need to be revealed....). One never fits all 🙂

They main aspect for me is performance. Does Geosense-PI have an advantage over MPF or ZVT, and if so, in what situations? I don't mind the reduced settings options, got used to it with the SDC and the GM. The GPZ will remain my ultimate machine in the open field and I would never give it up, neither the SDC. But perhaps the 6000 will fit into a niche that is complimentary to both. But one thing is for sure, I will keep the threshold on. Reduced weight is a huge plus! 🙂

Thanks, Mitchel. I will educate myself more to know what to look for. The link is helpful. God only knows how many meteorites I have already discounted as hot rocks without knowing....

PS: just got word that there is a huge backorder and according to the distributor only very few will come to the US in the foreseable future

Thanks for the report, JP. The better performance with saturation and EMI are two key features that I am looking for, so this is good to know. Reduced weight is of course a bonus, together with the quality seal "Aussie made" and long track record of coil excellence 🙂 I am on the waiting list for the NF12 and will for sure get the smaller coils as well, once available. Happy new year! GC

I do it religiously. Hipstick and swing arm works magic for me and this is the only way I can apply comfortable and strict coil control with the "beast" for many hours. I never use the GPZ without this combination. I use a camelback (Ambush or HAWG) for my hipstick attachment/hydration/storage. The only problem: the pick needs to be in the holster when I am searching for a target (I need a third arm!). That can be a bit heavy on the belt over time. But it's a small price to pay. That being said, like with everything else, this is just my personal setup and what works for me might not work for others. I used the Pro-Swing harness for a while but it makes me uncomfortable, clumsy and sweaty while digging, especially in the heat. Also, I can't easily put a hydration pack on top of the harness without killing my mobility completely.

I have fantastic memories with my daughter who I used to take all the time for detecting trips (when she was 8-14). She loved the Barstow and Randsburg area, but also Big Bear. I found my very first nugget together with her up in Holcomb Valley. I will have it put on a neckless and give it to her on her 18th birthday. These shared memories are worth so much more than all the gold I would ever find.

Amazing JP! I am glad I was off 😁🤑

Whoever is the closest should get the nugget 😁😁

In any case, an absolute ripper! Could there be more of it around? It might not be a loner 🤑

Thanks. I think the question is whether you can use the density of quartz all the time, as in the spread sheet. I suspect that if the host rock is not quartz, then the formula might not be accurate. The formula I used determines the specific gravity of the specimen regardless of what the host rock is. Let's see how much JP gets at the end 🙂

🤑I hope the right answer is yours

3 Results. How we know who is right? 🙂

Archimedis Principle Mass of object - apparent mass when submerged = density of water x volume of object 125.8g - 100.3 g = 1.0 g/cm3 * volume object > Volume object = 25.5 cm3 Density: mass of object/volume of object >Density: 125.8 g / 25.5 cm3 = 4.93 g / cm3 Density gold: 19.3 g / cm3 Max gold content: (Density object/density gold) x weight object > Max gold content: (4.93 / 19.3)* 125.8 g = 0.26*125.8 = 32.13 ???

I come up with 32.2 g max possible gold content....🤔

I know it sounds odd, but my best finds have been usually towards the end of the day. Could be purely coincidental. 🙂
