I considered myself a "lurker" for many years. But I never actually had an account & made no posts until last year. I have always appreciated your detector knowledge & your sharing of it Steve. Thanks for all you have done.

JP`s been quiet for months, too quiet....
Probably still trying to rub the egg off his face from the 6000 debarcle.

No, the crew are pretty smart but they have stuffed up letting two thugs off the hook. That last thug has survived the desert. He knows how many are in the crew & he knows the fire power they have. He would have no problem going back to his gang in Mexico & have them gear up for an assault on the crew & totally annihilate them & rob them of there gold & treasure. The thug not being too smart shouting off his mouth in town & now with the deputy informing the crew. Still, the crew should be worried & they are.

The Gold Monster is still a killer machine for small gold bedrock detecting. Especially in shallow creek bedrock locations. It really pings out a signal on the tiniest bits, & that's with the built in speaker. Love it.

Yep, should have delt to that thug when they had control of the situation. That thug doesn't seem to be too smart.

I am now waiting for the gang from Mexico to come in numbers & fire power to out muscle the crew. That is if that thug survived the desert & got back to his haunts. He will be hell bent on revenge.

A mistake letting another thug go free.

What an absolute croc. Like NorthEast there is no change in the sensitivity.
But is there an increase?

It would be great to hear more feedback from members when available on the effects (if any) of the update on those using headphones. My 6 is an early model and I only use headphones. I am finding gold so am reluctant to send mine back.
If you get it looked at & have the "fix" done, you may find more gold that you previously missed. While under warranty you would be crazy not to get it done. Even if you feel you are unaffected using just the headphones. By having the fix done it may improve your detector more. At the moment you are just used to how the detector is now & the fix may improve it more which is what it is all about. Surely it won't make it worse.

June 7 1937 Part Seven
We fired off short bursts from the BAR and the Thompson. The four thugs fell down in the hold they had dug for themselves. Then John and I began to laugh. We had fired into the air but the gangsters thought they were all dead men. They laid in the dirt shaking. I told them they had nothing left in this part of the country worth dying for. Their car was destroyed and we had taken their guns. I instructed them to walk out of this state and keep walking. I told them that if they ever came back they would be placed in the hole they had just dug and buried there. With that, John and I got in the truck and drove back to camp.
TO BE CONTINUED ................
In the real world it would be a huge mistake letting those thugs go free.

If I was unhappy with my 6000 I’d just throw it in the trash and I did but it don’t belong to me. I forgot it belongs to a friend and he made me go dig it back out.
Would you believe a guy would buy a 6000 and have it sent to you. We both nuts. He did and it’s still at my house.
MMMMM... Expensive throw away.

I`ve had as many problems with the 6K as the EQ, zero, once I learnt how to use em..
Learnt how to use them or been forced to compromise to try to overcome the "problem" that shouldn't have been there in the first place?

very little we can do, can't just say screw Minelab I'm buying "X" brand from now on.
Maybe we can when the Axiom finally materializes.

They are pretty quiet now. Possibly still wiping the egg off their faces.

Maybe the supply chains for getting the proper supplies is slow or hard to find certain items.
So why could Coiltek get coils out but not Nugget Finder??

Finders was the oldest forum in Australia. It has fallen foul of sabotage from a most undesirable forum.
That's funny. I found Finders most undesirable. Was just a bitch slap most of the time & had little to do with gold or detecting from what I saw.

Finders was a complete sh*t -show. Glad its gone..... Chris's forum was excellent though
Have to agree with what you said about Finders. Was nothing but toxic.

Any chance of some photo's of those big nuggets? I am sure Minelab would love to see those sitting on the 6000 coil. What coil were you using?
Great finds by the way.
Cheers

But wouldn't it be a little less risky to just go out with my detector and pick up a few bits here and there?
Absolutely.

Sounds a bit like "The Curse Of Oak Island" with the different levels having the boards across & then the 90 foot stone.

and the end result after processing 32kg of quartz was 33.38g of gold into a bar, so getting just over 1 gram per Kg of rock is a good effort I reckon
Bloody nice. Good for you Dave.

Do you really expect to hear back from Minelab?

The Competition Heats Up

Steve H has absolutely hit the nail on the head. It is the dreamers that will keep gold detector manufacturers in business. The glory days are well past. It has come down to very expensive detectors to scavenge for surface crumbs & tiny gold a bit deeper that for the majority out there will most likely never pay off their detector in gold finds. Taking in to consideration the cost factor for many in just getting to a goldfield.
Gold Catcher said: It is the "gold bug" in us and the obsession for metal detecting that keeps us going and that can't tolerate that someone else "might" have an advantage in the field. And that advantage might indeed be real.
That advantage came in the form of X coils for the GPZ 7000, & look at the hornets nest that stirred up. Those who took them on board largely had big smiles on their faces. Like you said Gold Catcher, anything for an advantage....
