jasong Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Found it on Youtube. Hard to tell if that connector is bigger than the old style or not. Caution: I have no idea who posted this or where these phone numbers go to or if that logo is a legit business, it appears to be a legit Minelab produced video which someone has overlayed their personal information onto.

EL NINO77 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 It looks like that unboxind video ... that the GPX 6000 will have low weight. I was looking up data .. the weight of the detector is 4.6 lbs / 2.1 Kilogram... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Another question - detectors in boxes at distributors or dealers somewhere.... this seems imminent. That sure looks like an official Minelab video to me. Minelab GPX 6000 Data & Reviews 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 My understanding is the USA marketing meeting with Minelab is next week and it'll still be a month before 6000's go on sale here. Take with as many grains of salt as necessary... Also: the knob literally goes to "11". Nigel Tufnel approves. 😄 This appears to be a machine designed directly for the African/Middle East markets. Easy to use and learn without English menus, the manual appears to be tiny, and basically a turn on and go machine? Like the GM, I assume it will have uses here though too. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Steve Herschbach Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 OK, 4.6 lbs or 2.1 kgs with battery per the brochure shared above. Just for reference, the SDC 2300 weighs 5.7 lbs The GPX 5000 without external battery weighs 5.3 lbs on arm. I tend to measure on arm weight, but the battery alone is another 1.7 lbs, and if we add a couple pounds for the harness and battery cable, a person is hauling about 9 lbs of gear around when using a GPX 5000. And of course the GPZ 7000 at 7.32 lbs This page fully updated constantly at this point..... Minelab GPX 6000 Data & Reviews 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaska detector Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, jasong said:This appears to be a machine designed directly for the African/Middle East markets.

Being in the USA market I’m ok with easy to use and learn, tiny, and turn on and go machine 😀. My question is how water resistant it is, where I detect I have the potential for deep large nuggets, but it rains and I’ll be going through all grass and brush that could be water logged. The last thing I want to do is buy a top end detector and have it fried due to a downpour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
