  1. Sounds like there's a couple of new GPX6000 owners that are happy they got one !
  2. mn Do you mean using silicone after using contact cleaner ? Never tried it but probably not a good pick. I guess you could try it and if you have issues , use contact cleaner again to remove it. WD40 would be another "what's on hand" option but it dries and loses most of it's lubing ability.
  3. Use "tuner/fader cleaner" if you can find some , it has lube mixed in with the cleaner.

D5 is awesome contact cleaner / preserver S5 is a sealer for harsh environments. I haven't tried the S5 yet but the D5 and F5 have been road tested many times in the last ~40 years ! Top shelf stuff.
  4. The key to using any detector is just getting that coil over a target . You seem to have that part down. Dig those beeps no matter what is down there . It's the best way to understand what the machine is telling you.
  5. He should go out and buy a cheap diamond lookalike ring , then bring it in from the back yard with dirt all over it and show it to his wife and daughter......... Then they'll go out and buy him a GPX6000 !
  6. You're catching on , using a probe is pro level stuff ! You can cut a slit in the turf and probe easier. I use one of those tools for taking off old style door and window handles that looks like a big tack puller. I'd go back and try the soccer field again , Discrimination might also be ignoring those gold chains ...
  7. That's cool ! Should be a fun hunt . I'll make it back out that way someday and find everything y'all miss !😋

  12. Well done ! If I send you a map of my town can you show me where the silver is ? 🤩 (All I usually find at schools is a janitor telling me to get my shoveling azz outah thayah ...)
  13. Welcome aboard pineapple_lumps ... (Interesting ,,,how about some background on how you came up with that screen name ??? ) Don't forget to get a pinpointer and something to dig with.
  14. I'll try to remember that JoeD ! Joe B , plans are a good thing . Hope it works out better this year . ( I was thinking about the lead weights too,,,,maybe make ankle bracelets to keep those boots on the bottom ?????)🙃
