RONS DETECTORS MINELAB

You’re spot on Erik, if I had said best detectors technological advancement in ten years the Equinox is a winner for raising the bar as a truly innovative advancement in multi-frequently detector technology. Going back 10 years would also bring in the Zed for best technology with the ZVT being so much an improvement over the previous tech.

Simon, Thanks for the update myself and several others our patiently waiting to get this one in hand. I’ll have a large order put in to keep stock in hand for this one. Ron

I have been watching and waiting for something big to happen in detector technology development for 25 years now and am currently waiting to try out the New Goldmonster 2000 when it’s available to see how its newest technology has improved over previous technology. IMHO myself looking back 5 years I’ve seen 3 detectors that really stood out in regards to technology breakthroughs: Algoforce E1500 stands out with It’s very quiet Pulse Induction EMI handling capabilities, it’s static target ID working at almost target depth and the capability of identifying small lead shot with 00 ID’s while retaining very good sensitivity in very mineralized ground conditions is really quite a lot of technical improvements for any standalone Pulse Induction detector. Manticore although having a lot of previous technology incorporated into it really stands out to me as it’s has completely combined everything I wanted in a VLF into one detector, so kinda a tech. break through with its incorporating so many features into one detector. I now can coin hunt and find similar to Gold Bug 2 size gold all in one detector and with a decent waterproof housing. I really enjoyed all the years learning the GPX-6000, primarily with the small coil which has the ability to hear the smallest nuggets I’ve ever seen found with a Pulse Induction detector making it also a true breakthrough in technology over previous generations. I also liked the timing switch that worked well and helped with determining hot rocks and creating different metal sounds on rubbish. Mods and coil improvements have also been interesting to watch over the last decade with quite a performance boost coming from these minor modifications and accessories to make the older version detectors perform much better. Please add any detector and it’s technological advancements that I’ve missed from your perspective. 😀 Ron

Happy Dad’s day to all.

Thanks Peg for the pictures and all the memories being made there, brought back a few memories of my own as I lived in Winnemucca for a while and also did very good nugget hunting there.

JP has also been promoting it on Facebook, says VLF is dead and that the GM 2000 is a VLF masher. I’m glad it can get some water on it now and has a threshold 😀

Legacy is everything prior to GPX 6000, so GPX 5000 to the beginning with the SD 2000

Looks like we will be getting a 13x9 size which falls in between the older previous 12x8 and 14x9 Evo models. Should be a great size especially if its improved windings are better than both the mentioned older models Evo sizes. Thank you Nugget Finder for making this happen, been waiting a long time for this new model to come out.

Updated post!

This video has me intrigued with the way he claims it handles the ground conditions, looking forward to a test run on mineralized ground when they come out.

Hopefully someone in the know can elaborate on what specific features and performance it has, October is a long ways away until then. Any testers out there able to speak now that it’s been somewhat officially announced, was hoping for a better release video about it from Minelab though.

Just glad it’s PI for the hot ground we find in the goldfields. Official Gold Monster 2000 release thread

Hopefully it has all the above.

Looks like my dream is real.

Several dealers I know did not make it nor myself, I guess for some it's their age and for others they were just too busy trying to keep a small business afloat and it would be quite an expenditure. I'm still hoping we could still do a teleconference call to catch up on what's being presented this week.
