I would say GEO Sense-PI says it all. It’s a PI machine? Logic would then suggest the 6000 is a continuation on from MPS, based on the GPX moniker.

Was more thinking format by way of the new look, user interface etc. - & thinking out aloud. Was just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL NINO77 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I read that the GPX 6000 has the ability to detect 0.01 grams of gold ... so Geosense can work really well ..., We'll see how the tests confirm it .. Another thing that may be interesting is whether the GPX 6000 software is updatable .., this could explain its automatic ability to adapt to detection conditions.

Jonathan Porter Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 There’s some good ideas/concepts in these threads, I hope ML are actually reading some of this highly speculative stuff, some could have merit. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL NINO77 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Lunk....I read this information on the Czech forum .. which, when considering the difference between GPX 5000 and GPX 6000 .. How accurate and specific this information is, I can't confirm it ..., I think we'll see it in the near future .. I can be critical of Minelab sometime, and I will continue to be ../ additional coils / .... but mostly when Minelab comes out with a new detector technology..that's a step forward ..

Aureous Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Seems very logical that seeing this current video, it now suggests that almost ALL selective functionality we've come to expect and enjoy from using the previous GPX series is now automatically selected via a logic processor instead. Tracking speed, pulse-train timings, sweep speed (retune) and search mode are now all NOT user selective. This is obviously in response to customer demand from the Middle East/Africa to make a PI that is less 'confusable' to lesser experienced operators. Whether this will supply western detectorists with the required improved performance is yet to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing what it can do and can't do. It's always confusing when a new machine comes out. It takes a while for the euphoria to wear off, or for the negative comments to subside. Only then do we get the truth of what a machine can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redz Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Given that different timings can light up different types of gold, my bet is that in some way it uses multiple timings simultameously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
