  1. I just heard one little blip. So I decided to scrape it. Took off the top layer of prairie moss and grass and got a repeatable. Couple more inches it was out and in the scoop. We are in the middle of frost thaw in that elevation in Montana. Had to swirl the mud around on my finger tips to see it. This coil is a beast on small gold.
  2. Canned fish and protein bars are my staple out digging and hunting.
  3. I continue to be blown away by this coil. Pulled three today for a 1/4 gram total. Including a .026 at 4". This coil does not miss. It runs so damn smooth that even the tiniest gold doesnt go unheard.
  4. In my humble opinion if your not digging every target your missing gold, wether it discriminates or not. Ive had machines tell me it was iron and trash and it turned into a nugget. I dont know too many full time pros who would say otherwise either. Trash is just part of it. One of first things I was told by a very very successful detectorists who has traveled the world for 40 plus years and pulled thousands of ounces with a detector.
  5. I realize all that. But limitations this far to the 6000 have been stability and sensitivity. As 1 of the first and few who have gotten the NF exceed in the US. I can tell you its an equalizer. Like I said when the bigger coils come out snd if they are this stabile and sensitive. The 7000 outside of real difficult ground is gonna not have much of advantage if it all. My point being the 8000 even if its only attribute is weight is not going to be worthy of the price tag. My guess is from some of the info from some inside sources is that minelab realizes this and its gonna punch deep real deep. In fact one of the limiting factors is the FAA is the hold up because of disruption in Airline coms.
  6. Doc- Nugget Finder is on to something with these new coils for the 6000. If the bigger coil supposedly incoming is as sensitive, quiet and smooth as this 12x7. Id be hard pressed with as light as the 6000 is to feel like buying what will probably be a +$10,000 machine soley based on weight. I am getting the tiniest of nuggets now and good depth on bigger targets. So a GPZ 8000 in my book better blow the 6000 and 7000 out of the water on depth and have some discrimination control above and beyond the 7000. Otherwise why bother except to pound your chest and say "Ive got the newest technology".
  7. I got mine from Chris at Arizona outback and Reese got his from Rob. There should be a new batch in anytime now. You might want to call Rob at Robs detectors or Chris and get your name on the list for new batch.
  8. Hell yeah buddy! Looking forward to putting the smackdown on the claims this summer. Its such a smooth running coil, the gold is not gonna stand a chance in the digs. I might have to rework some tailings for itty bitty ones the 11" missed. Fingers crossed when the big coil comes out its this smooth.
  9. Also with the Torus you dont lose the ear buds. And Ive dug in 100 degree heat with the neck collar and its very comfortable.
  10. Avantree Torus is what I and many others use. Low latency good comfort earbuds on retractable cords from neck worn unit. Love mine
  11. I think either somebody steps in and fixes things or the GPAA is done. Our club in Butte, Montana just voted to leave the GPAA and go our own way. There just wasnt any benefit for us to have to go that direction other than buying a few things for the Christmss party or summer functions.
  12. Somebody forgot to tell your synopsis to my 6000. i found at least a half dozen 1 gram plus nuggets over 15", multiples over a foot and a 13 gram well over 2 feet. And deadly on on itty bittys under 10" where the 7000 takes a crap. And I only got it last July. But then again my hearing is pretty sharp stil 🤣No knocking the 7000 at all because I have never swung one. But unless your talking 20+ inches I have no use to swing a club.
  13. Your not wrong. Inflation is worse than being reported. CC interest rates are up. Peoples savings accounts are dwindling as are their budgets. If the 8000 comes out thats a big if because of the FAA problems. It will have to be pretty stellar in my book. And not MSRP at 10k as rumored. I for one will stick to my 6000 unless the 8000 completely blows it out of the water. All up to minelab at this point, fancy marketing wont get them far. If it was my company I would delay it and leave it in R&D until this mess subsides.
  14. Chris at Arizona Outback. First shipment to US. Aussies are loving them. Sweeter tone (similar to 5000) and sharper signal response.
  15. Got my Nugget Finder Exceed in the mail this morning. Only problem is its 5 degrees out and blowing 30mph. Gonna have to wait a few days to swing it and chisel dirt.
  16. Keep using them. Ill come along behind with my 6000 and clean up.🤣🤣
  17. Would rather wait patiently than them get it wrong. That 12x7 is gonna be money on our claims.
  18. Nice work buddy. You will get better at the editing. Maybe add a tripod too. Hannah and I cant wait to come down and add to the "trash" 🤣🤣
