    I just finished watching Woody's latest video, very interesting indeed. He's saying there is a new detector coming out this year that will be far better than anything available at the moment.

    Yes it mentioned that in a earlier video, the one where he is sitting in his car looking at the E1500 on his phone.  A lot of people missed the part where he was talking about a new detector coming out besides the E1500.   He also mentioned on his forum a while back that he was making a detector, whether or not this is what he is talking about time will tell.

    With all the circuit boards that I have, which are bad, I will be looking into this because I know there is a lot of gold contacts and plating used on most of the boards I have for my equipment.

    There is a lot less gold than you think.

    100% this! Nice and stretchy, locks the cable in place, and comes off clean. Any sticky residue is easily removed with a bit of WD40 on paper towel.

    Look into Self Fusion tape.  Zero residue.  It is more expensive than electrical tape so may not be a good choice if your changing coils a lot.   I have been using this Fusion (Silicone) tape for years.

    DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS

    As new technology is developed and improves upon the performance of our current product range, Minelab discontinues our older product models. These products are listed on this page for your reference.

    We aim to service and support all of our older products for as long as possible. All products are supported for a period of at least 5 years after they are discontinued. Unfortunately, with some of these older detectors it becomes impossible to source the parts required for service work and so the detectors eventually become uneconomical to repair.

      That statement has been on their site for years.   There have been a lot of changes in the world in the last couple of years.

     I also wouldn't be surprised if the 5000 gets discontinued worldwide in the coming months.

    Damn, I thought he must have one and was going to show it in action, all I got was a guy sitting in his car waffling at the website.

    Yea so did I.  I did find it interesting that he mentions other detectors in the works.

    It looks as if it is a mobile phone stuck on a stick, is this the detector that woody was mentioning? In one of his YouTube videos he was saying not to sell old Minelab coils as there is going to be a large demand for the old coils.

    He also talks about other detectors coming out.  Around the 6:38 mark.

    My Minelab spy told me a couple years ago that Plexus stopped making the PCB's for the 5000 when Covid hit so no actual new 5000's have been assembled since 2020.

    I wonder if that is way Minelab USA wanted $2100 for the 5000 pcb.   It's packed up and going to be shipped to Mick in a day or so.
