  1. Even better solution for flexibility would be something like a Troopy - totally flexible and everything inside. I would recommend whatever setup having a fly screen tent / awning so you can put a barrier between the flies.
  2. Doesn’t sound like they will be released in the short term if ever. I’m sure a few are hoping that’s not the case.
  3. Ripper piece, very happy I live within an hour of the Golden Triangle
  4. To be honest I don’t use the earbuds on the Torus just the speaker. Allows you to get good spatial hearing in the bush and still has the volume to identify threshold changes which could be targets
  5. I like Victorian Gold Hunters and Detrackozi both are long term prospectors and know the history, geology and detectors. There are some others mentioned here that are what I consider commercial YouTubers and while they may have a big following don’t know one end of a detector from the other. You’ll often find the best channels don’t have a big following- they just present stuff in a non-commercial form.
  6. If NF wire the 16x10 like the 12x7, it will be closer to a 14x9 Coiltek in wiring which is $200 cheaper.
  7. It will be interesting whether there will be any more coils released for the 6000. Hopefully we’ll get an update in the new year.
  8. Back to the gold nugget paddock with the 18” Coiltek coil. Still dry and the flies are horrific, managed some good finds at depth.
  9. Nothing secret about it Erik - I’m one of the testers in Australia for Coiltek. Weather permitting will hopefully get some more footage this weekend
  10. A few videos on some different media for the 18”. And yes very happy to pull my largest nugget with a coin/relic machine. Hope this helps with where it’s best use is.
  11. Interesting theory, it states it goes deeper than the 15” so maybe the depth doesn’t tap out shallower
  12. So it’s basically an oversized 10x5 and $180 more to buy in Australia than the Goldhawk.
  13. I would stick to the standard coil on the Zed and look for a larger coil for the 6000 for coverage Finders Keepers in Kal are selling a heap of the 14x9 Goldhawks.
  14. Spot on - all the testing I’ve done has the 9” Goldhawk as the best performed on both depth and sensitivity.
  15. Was in Kalgoorlie last week - 6000 flowing out of one store and at the peak of gold season the Garrett shop closed. Both are the same price in Oz and there would be at least 100 to 1 - 6000 to Axiom sold here. A large number of people make a living on gold here so I’d say if the performance was close we would see more Axioms here and there aren’t.
  16. Very interesting time ahead Codan/Minelab has diversified their assets across a number of areas and will be more flexible to the challenges of the global recession vs the straight detecting companies. Also given the lack of competition in gold could spell troubles for other competitors. I’m glad I live in Oz where even a top end detector can be paid off pretty quickly @$A100 a gram.
  17. Can I suggest you try the 9” Goldhawk before making long term plans about your 6000 arsenal.
  18. I don’t think anybody has mentioned it but a floated company has people called shareholders. You don’t make profit, you don’t have shareholders, you don’t have a company.
  19. Seems like a few are convinced all the gold is gone from their patches but everybody goes back finds at least one where you think how did I miss that. What if current technology only sees 80% of the gold (mineralisation and other factors). Would people be happy finding another 20% from their multi ounce patches with a newer technology? The 6000 is a great example where people thought that all the shallow gold was found with the SDC and smaller coils on other machines.
  20. Gerry - Great post, why do you think the Axiom has a better coil selection than the GPX 6000 which when NF released will have 9 coil sizes.
  21. I was -At least it covered a spot where the mozzies couldn’t bite me.
  22. Simon - I’ve had the speaker fix, just wanted something a bit more comfortable for the Aussie summer when the winds up and speaker can be difficult to hear with the fly sh$t. Strange that others can’t speak highly enough with the 6. Must have 2m arms 😱
