Yes powerful options to explore, much like the Axiom, or most Pis, Z or todays top line VLFs, lots to 'soak in' before one can master, or easy as and leave as is. If that entry price doesn`t rise and it allows for R&D it will be the ML competition we have sought and we`ll see more. Impressive potential so much in so little a parcel, electronic miniaturization is amazing when I look back at the clunky anvils we swung in the past. Chaffing at the bit but our big FNQ wet is not over yet. The E1500 may stoke that fire you speak of Steve, less than 1oz of that heavy stuff which is roughly par to what we paid for the early VLF gold detectors (in gold).

Victoria has spoilt you big time Reg, dust below 1 gram has been/is FNQ bread and butter, no way a pan can compete with detectors here.

You are not wrong about weight, air tested only, stable with Sadie coil no trouble picking up the smallest micro gram scrap found with 6K recently, good clear signal on speaker. I am initially impressed, now to field test.

Aye it is a top feature, the Axiom is another PI that has this very handy feature, the changing ground reading can be a top 'nugget' visual indicator along with the change in ground noise reading once you`ve familiarized yourself with these readings in the ground you prospect. In particular I`m keen as to see how the 'vibrations' pan out, maybe 'feel' sense can be proven to be as effective as hearing, especially for us deaf oldies.

Lets take bets on what the hell a Dalas is, you upover guys should be able to read what Docs up to by now. Hmmmm I`ve little idea maybe a fancy finds pouch?

Wow sounds good, this may put the cat amongst the pigeons. Reminds me of the Dtex/Dtek Search King & Gold King split from Garrett back in the 80s.

Fossilized Kl..... the Pubic Serpents will build a monument. Lets av a beer with KL before they get him, he did say he`s shouting didn`t he....

Hi MN, how many hours do you reckon went into finding that 'loot'? I only do a little casual park coin detecting and never swung a coil on a beach, I have no idea but am curious although I suspect it gets you in as gold does.

Got to agree the Axiom needs BT aptx not its proprietary system, other than that and the 6K belting it up, it is right up there.

Food for thought GJ, hmmmm.

Wow, beaches here in remote FNQ downunder are populated by detectorsaurises eating lizards.

Crikey MN that`s a top 2 months, clubs finds or just yours?

There is only one way of sorting out what advice is true and stopping the confusion, that is getting out there swinging the detector in the field whether wet, dry, hot, cold, windy etc., the golds always there. 😉

Yeah Wiggins the Torus here downunder is probably the most used by serious detector operators BT neckband, personally I dont see any need for latency any lower than atpX, to add to Phrunts post the Torus aint broke.... please dont phase it out unless the product replacing it can do as well for us and is compatible with our detectors. PS We find a good pair of non-metal long lasting comfortable boots and when they wear out they are no longer available to purchase, I beg you please don`t let the Torus go that way😉

My preference also is speaker as per Gr Guy, earbuds are not used, thus https://avantree.com/nb18-bluetooth-neckband-earbuds-with-eq-enhancements are out for me. The Torus after 100s of hours use in the field without failure and top performance (nuggetoes😉) is the best compromise for me, maybe waterproofed if possible.

Aye KL those boots look like they have been over an odd nugget or two.😉

No insult KL but I`m glad your not downunder in my back yard, you`d leave me nowhere to prospect. The more years I spend prospecting the less idea I know where it is, those Irishmen in our past knew the go when they said "tis where tis" and "never give up on an area til you`ve found another bit".🤪

You old dogs are holding us young fellas back, get with it....... 😉

Love the Torus on speaker, have used them extensively and exclusively on the 6K since its production, for me a low latency reliable neckband speaker is the go, ear buds or over ear muffs are out.

All horses for courses with their jockeys. I agree to both these assumptions but with a caveat, my findings are based on my age (jockey) and my ground (course). Can there be a defining answer or just opinions? My experience tells me no. eg. The ML19 (horse) on the GPZ7000 is referred as a dog coil by many, I found it a producer at depth over the ML14 which was the only other coil at that time.

Was Geof but the photo would`nt send..... overweight!!!!!
