OK, I'm not embarrassed to ask:  why is the point offset (side-to-side) / asymmetric?  (On my Hodan model it's centered.)  It seems that when that tip hits the ground, if the shaft isn't rotated just right, the pick will pivot, with assoicated loss of useable energy.

Also curious.  Nice looking pick.

Congrats Rob.  I thought you said it was doable in the heat.  LOL..  Just messing with you.  Summers are for researching.

Livin the dream.  Congrats on the gold.  It's on my list of places to go.

But it does have a salt mode so I am interested in that

Yes there is a Salt mode.  There is a video that talks about Detection Modes.  Salt mode is near the end.

I use a Leland pick and it has a handle even longer.  It makes for easier digs for those of us who are back challenged.  

Where does one go to get one of these Leland Picks?

Thanks for posting this Gerry.

It needs to go twice as deep, have 100% accurate ferrous discrimination, and cost half as much.

Will yea. LOL.  No strange quirks or anything?

Is there anything that you guys don't like about the Axiom?

Well Swegin, you may be the only person who saw that film. I did write a story about it.
It was one whacky show. (thanks)

Raquel Welch.....  LOL  I spend some time looking for the strange movies.  The Blob, Them (which is very similar to Empire) and many others.

The video says meet the beast on 8/27/22? Released tomorrow?

Minelab is having a MInelab Meyhem Live tomorrow on Facebook @ 11:30 MST 

Congratulations I'll be in for two books.   I just ran you thru IMDB and I was amazed how many movies you had your hands in that I watched and enjoyed.  Yes I even enjoyed Empire of the Ants.  LOL  Cheesy but still enjoyable.

Might know on the Aug 27th at 11:30 MST.  Minelab Mayhem live on Facebook Aug 27th at 11:30 MST.  Might just be that video that Sandheron posted.

There, big secret revealed. Amazing to me how few people in this price obsessed “get a deal” country know this.

Exactly.

Thanks for the welcome Swegin, I assume your handle comes from the show "Deadwood"... if it does, I cross my fingers and hold them up.

Yes it is from Deadwood and I promise I won't make anyone throw themselves off the balcony or feed anyone to the pigs.  LOL

the MAP is just the lowest they can advertise it for and the MSRP is just that... a suggestion.

Exactly.  That is a touchy subject for a few on here.  LOL.   Welcome to the forums.

Long story short I was quite vocal about how great I thought the GPX 6000 was for use in the United States, and now I feel a bit responsible for the problems some people are having.

You shouldn't feel responsible.  99.9 % of the folks here are adults who should be able to make up their own mind.   Maybe there are a lot of sheep here and look to you to be their shepherd.  That's on them not you.

Best of luck on your new adventures.

The perfect tool for when you live right on the border of the Lake Mead Rec area and it’s illegal to take a detector over the line… 🤣

How do you like those tires?

I found the first batch with my 4500, then went back the next day with my 6000.

I somehow think that you have hit big gold more than once.  Thanks for sharing.

Very nice gold.  Congrats.  All found with the 6000?

I need to turn my Nox into a Micronox.   Thank you for posting the links.

Anyone doing the same because I’m doing it… really? Don’t do that!

Too late.  The Steve H. effect is in full swing.  😄
