Steve Herschbach Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 This video goes over each of the controls and initial setup for the new GPX 6000. It's in English so no translation required. My thanks to Luis for posting this video on the other thread.

Jonathan Porter Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I don’t know why ML are making Australian dealers go through the rigmarole of all the stupid restricted release teaser BS when information like this video is out there anyway!!! It’s like holding a pencil up to your eye and saying “I can’t see you, therefore you can’t see me” !!! 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 The folks in Dubai are doing a full release / data dump. If it is publicly posted to the internet then how can Minelab give anyone grief for pointing it out? It can't be happening without approval or at least looking the other way. These people could be canceled over stuff like this, and apparently they are not worried about that at all.

Steve Herschbach Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Who knows? Leaks and the internet scavenger hunting it sends people on is a powerful marketing tool in itself. There is an entire speculative industry that has grown up around Apple product releases. All at no cost to the manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 They haven't covered the DD modes, where those controls are, or when exactly a DD coil is going to be released yet. And why would they release a machine that has modes for coils that aren't even provided in the box? At least I assume they aren't since the videos state the coils are both monos... Which again begs the question - who makes these coils? And will Minelab promise something to come but then fail to deliver or take years to do it? My understanding is dealers have been to a teleconference now here in the USA. We should get some info tomorrow hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Still a mystery to how you get to the "DD" modes and how to switch between them. Wonder if a new icon pops up when you hook up the as yet unseen GPX 6000 DD coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Presumably a Dubai customer can call that number and get those answers while we wait for the next Dubai video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasong Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I sent an email a few days ago since I honestly have no idea how to dial a number outside the US with my phone, or even if my carrier allows it. I just asked about price though, and the guy responded back that pricing won't be released until Mid-Feb, which is what someone else here in the US told me too, like 2 weeks ago. So it seems the detector isn't actually released in the Middle East yet for sale much (or any) sooner than here, but they have gotten units sooner for demo maybe?

Jonathan Porter Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 There are MTR units out there, and I’d say these guys have got their hands on one. That market being ML’s biggest market suggests there is more flexibility in information releases or they have less control due to the nature of the area and where the dealers are located and lastly COVID!! Either way it SH*#s me to tears, but like Steve said this type of dissemination goes viral really quickly and for near zero costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
