Nice job=-- what is the lid from for reference

 

It's a Copenhagen tobacco can flipped over.

Thanks Chuck. The time frame has been in four trips in NorCal. It's been in the high 90s since I've gotten the Sweet 6000. Been goin from shade to shade in all four locations and skipping over the sunny ground. Definitely more to come from those areas. I finally found a scale to order and it should be here tomorrow. If so, I'll add a picture of total weight on the scale. Thanks again Chuck,

Chris 

Approximately 12 to 14 hours swing time with the 6000 due to the heat.

The 6000 without a doubt. It is absolutely amazing. My buddies monster couldn't handle the hot ground yesterday. I dug 22 nuggets, he finally got one.

The Avantree Torus external bluetooth speaker system works amazingly which Lunk has also attested to. My 6000 bluetooth headphones are still in the box but I'm sure they're a perfect match for headphone users.

22 small ones yesterday. Some tiny. My friend only dug one small nugget with his monster. 5 of mine were in a spot he covered close. Can't tell ya total weight cause I can't find a scale to buy.

Broke mine in today and got my first ever hot rock containing gold.

Right on.... Hey Lunk, how do you like tha Avantrees?

Will do fer sure. If they don't work with the 6, my daughter is gonna love em.....lol

Another pic

Found these today and ordered. I'll let ya'll know if they work with the 6000. If the don't, my daughter gets them.😜

New technology for Gold and the US is put on hold. Why is ML bein so bold in putting US on hold? It's because ML cares mostly for their own money$ and don't really care about US consumers gettin our share of golden honey.😋

Six Thousand dollars to put out on anything is a large investment to make .

 I just wonder how many of you have committed yourself to buying the 6000 already?

 I’ve had a long talk with one Minelab dealer and he has been told that the 6000 may slow in coming to the US because of the high volume going to other countries. That’s due to the gold rush is there not here.

 For you that live in gold country it may be a easy discussion but for those of us  that don’t we may have to think about it a while.

 I myself don’t have a bass boat parked in my drive with a big motor and trailer so this year I’m going to be good to me .

 I will have a 6000 as soon as I can get  my hot little hands on one.

 How about you is Santa going to come early?

 The Best!

Minelab should at the very least immediately accommodate US dealers who have customers that have already paid.

I'm all in. Already paid and still waiting. 

I've been curious about it. In at least two places it has WEBBING that is supposed to be characteristic of meteorites?

I found this years ago while sniping a creek. Went to throw it out of the crack but it was very heavy for its size. Sticks very hard to my pick magnet.

Freak, thanks for sharing a great video and a thank you to Bill as well. We have the same mindset....

I'd be happy just gettin the damn 6000......

That's awesome Chase, thank you.

Thinkin bout gettin out thattaway wed/thurs between there n Gerlach.

Has anyone tried pairing up the Avantree Torus to a Nox 800..??? I just ordered an 800 from Rob, while I wait for my 6000. I don't really care for my 3030 so if anyone close by is interested, lemme know.

A brand new minelab still smells better to me than a brand new truck......lmao....

I totally understand that our Aussie brother's n sisters always get the jumpstart on the newest Minelab gold detector but our wait in the USA is getting totally ridiculous......

Great thread Northeast..... thank you very much.

Norm, I live just over the hill from you in Janesville. You my friend are in my prayers, Chris
