Before my 17" coil arrived I had already ordered the parts needed to make my own shaft/lock pin extension I used the lower part of a 5000 shaft and the lock pin at the other end, bought some carbon fibre glue and the job is done Total cost (if you have a old shaft) AU$45 and I can have the length I want

No the Mono chip is different to a DD chip as it lets the 6000 know what coil is connected to the machine

Lets hope they will be making a 17" DD for the deeper nuggets

This would have to be the best informative post about the 6000 yet Thanks to Steve and JP for giving us all a better understanding just what the 6000 can and cant do and what coil does what. Great Post Steve 👍

Doh meant Gone Bush LOL👍

Sheppo take a look at the "Fat Bastard Prospecting" on you tube he's over your way and check out his settings here is part one on the 6000 , heavy language warning Marty

Has anyone tried on a past known tree root found with a Z to see if the 6000 see's the root or not? Marty

If they can bring out the Mantra in Gold form where it will dismiss iron,,,,,,be a machine to have for sure Marty

Great Post Please put up a X coil so we can all see Marty

One Should not be fooled by its looks, but the SDC is a weapon when it comes to small gold These days I run the 2300 before I break out the Z , if there is small color larger pieces won't be far away I gave it a thought about buying a larger coil for the SDC but why bother when the std Z coil will get those pieces anyway The other day I got this super faint target on an ants nest , Australian Meat Ants are aggressive and are a real pain in the Arss as they just keep biting until you kill them not much fun on the inside of your pants leg , this target was the smallest I had ever found and blew my mind once I had recovered it 0.04 of a gram or for you US guys 0.6172943 of a grain and it was found with the SDC, mind you it took 20 mins to retrieve it, all in good fun but I would not want to do that every time I got a faint signal I'm not entering the Public debate of X coils, thanks Marty

You know Rick , I'll put money on it that the next gen ML Gold Machine will have 1/2 its circuitry in the coil like the Nox has, that will stuff everyone up that bought a "X" coil Should that happen, those that have bought these coils will either buy the new Machine or keep what they have, use the 7 as a back up machine after the 8 comes out (if its any good that is) time will tell , 9.5kAU now 13kAU for the 8? Where will it all end? Marty

Hi JP Would you like to share??? thanks

Just curious JP what Mod has been done to your set up to allow less signal off the Ferrite/ground feedback noise? Cheers Marty

Just looking for the next Firmware up-date not a new machine I did hear that they are close to getting the discrim working , be nice but I'm not going to hold my breath Marty

Hi Every one With the GPZ-7000, 2.5 yrs on and only a single update to fix the GB , Is it about time that the next update is just around the corner ? What is it that you'd like to see in the next fix or performance or what ever etc etc I for one would like to see a similar screen used as the CTX 3030 that shows you what target is what , surely ML should be able to do that by now ? or can they ? Cheers Marty
