    I'm just totally perplexed by this 3 meter depth 2D detector.  Can it really work?  Why would they advertise it with Nokta and Minelab?

    It's elementary, my dear Mitchel: any detector will signal on a car body at a distance of 3 meters, and advertising their detector alongside well-known, proven brands gives it the appearance of being legit. But don’t take my word for it...just buy one; you shouldn’t have any problem reselling it with the help of this kind of advertisement.🙄🤣

    Lunk - Heck I really never even seen how you set his detector up but I did notice that last one was about 10-12" deep.  Glad you were there to keep him grounded after the gold...he was pretty Texas stoked.

    Just ran it in Normal with threshold on and Sensitivity at manual 7, bumping it to 10 on iffy targets...easy as!

    I caN'T MAKE UP MY MIND WHICH ONE TO BUY THE gpx 6000 OR THE gpz 7000. Leaning towards the GPX because its lighter and I'm loaded with extra covid pounds. grrrr....

    To those of you that own a GPZ as well do you miss no gps capability or visual readout of signal strength with the GPX?

     

    There are infinitely better GPS apps for smart phones than the onboard GPS of the 7000, so no, won't miss it at all. As for visual readout of signal strength? The GPZ 7000 doesn't have that. Just get a GPX 6000; you won’t regret it. Besides, you can't miss a machine you’ve never swung, right?😀

    Lunk where do you keep your mobile phone while detecting? 

    Nice gold BTW 😊 

    Good point, JP...I usually keep the phone turned off and in the truck, but since I was taking pictures to post on the forum this time, it was shut off and in my back pocket so as to get some distance from the coil. I'll have to swing the DD again and leave the phone in the truck to see if it makes a difference.

    Well done my teacher!

    I'm sure it is too hot to be looking for new patches.  You have to get the nuggets where you got them before.

    Definitely too hot for cruising, but I always test new machines on an old patch to evaluate any performance gains.

    Nice hunt....  Had a chuckle over you saying   "But how did the Gold Monster miss these? Must not have got that little 5-inch Monster coil directly over them".  I keep re-hunting areas with the Monster I "think" gotta be done, hit it sooo many times...no more nuggs, etc.  Then I step back and see the whole area and try an visualize painting that whole area with a 3" brush (working center of the 5" coil) and realize the reality of how long it would take to "paint" that whole area with a 3" brush....lol

    True that, Oneguy!

    I was at the training and have to say that it was pretty impressive.  I only got to swing one for about 20 minutes or so and only found a piece of bird shot but the ease of use, weight and what I saw from the performance has definitely got me thinking about one.  I ended up with 5 pieces with my 800 @Gerry in Idaho @Lunk thanks again for the great weekend.

    It was a good time training with you, Sevastras; it’s always a pleasure to see gold being found during the class. I could tell you fell in love with the GPX 6000...it’s nearly impossible not too after swinging one.😍 Just think: all you need to do with your Nox is find just 3.3 ounces of gold, or a nice key date coin, or a diamond ring, and you’ll have that dream machine in no time! Best of luck...🍀

    Hey Lunk, 

    WTG breaking in that shiny, new GPX 6000 with fast gold! Must have gotten those trainees blood flowing. What are the gloves you are wearing...something for carpal tunnel syndrome?

    Bill 

    Thanks Bill. So the gloves are are just Walmart cheapies to keep blisters and scorpion stings at bay. 🙂
