Beautiful speccie that one, and looks like it has a heap of the good stuff in it.

I am looking forward to seeing how the Axiom performs here in Oz.

Did the coiltek run any quieter than the standard 11" though?

It is a bit surprising to me there has been no update for the 6000 now that it has been out a year. I'm still not convinced the EMI issue is EMI at all, but perhaps an issue with Geosense going off the rails. I've had it occur in places where EMI simply was not the problem, could not have been the problem. People tend to tell me that's not possible, must have been sunspots, aurora borealis, UFOs, but I think not. I think there is something else going on, something a software update might fix. But nothing so far.

To set the record straight, Garrett has made no such promise, nor has any plan to do such, that I am aware of anyway. That was just me speculatively assuming such based on what I've observed so far. At the end of the day any updates will be driven by an actual need for an update, and if Axiom actually nails the landing on release, then there will be no need. But it's not a bad bet, as just about every detector ever made with an update capability, except the GPX 6000, has had at least one update after release.

I tend to agree with you Steve.

I took both my GPZ and 6k out a few days ago. The day before the 6k got real noisy,  to the point it couldn't be used . I put it down to the 11" mono and the next day I took the 14dd, and planned to use it if the GPZ was too noisy. Well the GPZ handled it no problem. My mates 6k did not however, and he changed to the 14" dd which was still noisy!

Love this forum. Happy new year 2021 and let's all hope 2022 is great year for us all!

My season is about 4-5 months of good prospecting conditions, and a few months of limited conditions. I guess my total was about 14 oz for the season,  with a new personal best of a 5.3 oz piece.  Here is a pic of my better bits.
