Minelab GPX 6000 With Geo Sense Pulse Induction

[Steve Herschbach]

The nice thing about belief is it is impervious to facts. No matter how many times it is explained that there is no transmitter sending magic signals to Minelab, people still think its true. Something that would be so easy to verify with a scope has somehow remained deeply hidden. Even the FCC testing missed it. But you know Minelab, they are so advanced they probably figured out a way to transmit a signal that lies completely outside the known electromagnetic spectrum. Probably something they stole from LRL.

The fun part is that if Minelab were this evil, then the system would be transmitting secrets even when you think you have deactivated it. That's even better. People think they are safe when they have turned the system off, but it stays on at all times. The coil can also read credit card chip info if you have any nearby, so they transmit that also.

There, some new conspiracy stuff to chew on! Be afraid, be very afraid!!

I’d be more worried about some of the mobile phone apps that you download for mapping, no one seems to have a problem walking around with one of these tracking/logging/listening devices in their pockets. ?

The 'Holy Grail' so to speak of metal detectors would be one that 'automatically' ignores the ground and everything 'bad' in it and would only react to 'valuable' targets.

The problem of engineers, metal detecting companies and users of detectors is defining 'bad' and 'valuable!'  The GM for instance tries to make it easy by saying gold or not gold.  What if you want to find relics rather than gold.  That then becomes your object of value.  The same could be said of meteorites.  They have value.

Minelab is not replacing the 7000 so this 6000 with Geo Sense will not exceed the power and capabilities of a 7000.  If it did then no one would buy a 7000.  Minelab is in a delicate dance here.

My friend, I’m not here to against to anybody, I just wrote my opinion that based on my knowledge that I named it “Modest”

  Cheapest VLF would probably serve as well or better than Minelab?

Phrunt - you are spot with regards to sweep speed - if the detector can adjust automatically to how fast or slow you are swinging / moving the detector then you will always be in the correct mode. Think of the automatic car transmissions of the 60's - at best they were 3 speeds (in Aust) and they were awful, unresponsive cars because of this which is why manuals(stick shifts) were favored by the performance crowd - now with 6 - 8 speed automatic transmissions the car can do a better job than you of being in the right gear at the right time.

So will Minelabs auto ground balance be a 3 speed laggard  or 8 speed gem? Are they going to tinker with this concept or take us to another level? I think Minelab have shown with the Equinox they are not afraid to present to the market revolutionary changes rather than evolutionary changes (like they have in the past) so i am going for the great leap forward for the GPX6000. We live in interesting times.

It would likely not be possible to use GPS to measure sweep speed. That could be done with an accelerometer. It would be more likely, and consistent with the picture, to use GPS to measure walking speed. 

[Gold Catcher]

If you look at Fig 2 of the patent (see my earlier post) it does refer to some sort of memory function provided by GPS  when you come back to a spot that you have hunted previously. Well, anyhow, we all shall see. Don't we all love the rumor mill and mystery around ML, almost like what the presents will be for Christmas. ML always has surprised us with big technology leaps. That's why I think they just dominate the detector space with no real competitor. I guess I have to start scraping money together for the 6000 release...

I don't for a minute think that Minelab tracks anyone in a gold field.  I was 'expressing' the tongue-n-cheek of others who have said this to me.

The question still remains tho ... will Minelab have location tracking and finds on this 6000?

My Google phone which I don't carry with me in the field does go with me on every trip and I can go back several years on a day by day basis and track where I've been.  This is also how you can find a lost 'device/phone' if you have to.

I would like to get the non compliant FCC GPZ 7000, or GPX 6000.... The engineering menu is great ?
