VicR Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Found a guys $3000 custom wedding ring last week at the beach - he was in the surf with a shovel and colander digging for his ring(no detector!) that he lost in the water the week before. I found it in about 20 minutes - reward was a hearty hand shake - so maybe i am overcharging Gerry with the hearty handshake and should ask for a vigorous wave. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicR Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 yes - I've found owners of many a ring over the years. Usually something comes my way. His logic was that he was going to find it anyway with the shovel and colander! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Ok folks, stuff showing up on the Minelab website now! https://www.minelab.com/gpx6000 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradiceau Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 As you highly experienced operators know, the hearing capabilities of different detector operators can vary greatly, I only detected a slight woo weee sound and had to listen several times....... It seems like there should have been much stronger target responses considering the size and depth of the targets. ? Cheers, Jeff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jeff What are you referring to - a video or a first person hands-on opportunity with the machine? I have yet to come across any video that demonstrated the GPX 6K audio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Looks like it’s going to be a few more weeks still. Looks like every week Minelab is going to be holding a contest to win some garb. Don’t forget to sign up if you want to win a T-shirt and a hat. Maybe later on in the weeks they’ll actually give away an X6! ??????? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jeff It would have been nice to have a teaser signal (the sound of the actual detector over a nugget), but I guess we'll have to wait for the next tease. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Looks like Minelab is running a little “contest” each week on their GPX 6000 page as a filler until they have something more to say. Each week’s contest offers a chance to win a Minelab T-shirt, Hat, Water Bottle, Headphones and PRO-GOLD Kit. The contest subjects so far listed below. It's like they have forgot they have never actually introduced the detector yet in the U.S. and Australia. Just rumors from Africa, plus a dealer meeting where everyone was apparently told nothing, and then sworn to secrecy about it!
