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

Do they use the same chip for both Mono and DD.

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 👍

WA mate, other side of the country. Though he doesn’t intentionally scrape the coil either. Will be checking his channel out.

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?

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

Cheers Marty

Hi JP 

Would you like to share???

thanks

My one also has a mod to get rid of the signal off the Ferrite, so will be a lot quieter in High X soils

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

It would be many tiny pieces of gold ingots by now , someone had the know how to steal and move it , "Next Block Buster Movie" in the years to come

Marty

Nice bit of gear there , feel free to come to OZ anytime you like and take some Nature shoots 

Marty

Thanks for that Dave , mine looks a little different as I didn't include the centre section just the 2 sides and main centre shall bond them tomorrow directly to the coil and not the coil cover 

Like you, I also like the 19", there is more to this coil where others have dismissed it as a dud I find it Less is more and far greater coverage , who care if you dont find the big stuff as long as the smaller keeps coming as it has been for more including a 22 gramer that 14" couldnt see 

Cheers Marty

Good on you Norvic

Mate before you put the 2 together lightly sand the skid plate but gouge the hell out of the polycarbonate with the sand paper. If you apply silastic to smooth polycarbonate it will peel off, but once you`ve gouged it the only way it will come off is if you want it off

cheers Dave

Hey Dave 

I'm about to stick my 1mm pollycarb directly to my coil , Ill be using automotive Gray 3 bond sealer this stuff will not peel ever, unless you make it peel what is the ozy forum link ?

cheers Marty

HI JP 

Maybe now might be a great time for you to do the "Secrets of the GPZ" video 

From what you have said here today has shown us all that there is still so much to learn with the Z and now with the new coil to boot 

just a thought 

Marty

When are you guys in the US guys getting this coil ?

What release date have ML given you?

If you dont wanna wait there is a 19" coil for sale here 

http://golddetecting.4umer.net/t24389-gpz-7000-19-inch-coil

and No I'm not the one selling it someone else is and the way your US$ v AU$ there is a bargain to be had 

Just thought some of you US Gold hunters might wanna get a great deal thats all 

Cheers Marty

Geees Mate those hands look cold Brrrrrrrr , you should come to Oz for a visit just to warm up a little 8-)

Marty 

Can I come camping with you ? So sick of Fraser Island need some snow!

Dude you need to get out more !!!!!!!!!!!! 

FI has so much to offer just detect Lack Mack and coins /rings will pop up just dont get caught 

Remember X marks the spot but its not on F/island 

Marty

Are just using the WM12 module without a ext booster?

M.

The reason I ask (and I'm sure many others out there are some what intrigued)

I have never seen anyone anywhere lower there TH as low as 1 , surely you are missing out on so much more
