From my perspective, when I first started detecting only 5 years ago, I think I pretty much read every word you ever wrote ? This quote been my all time favourite: "There’s no point detecting in ground that is too deep for the detector so I like to keep bedrock in sight at all times"......Advice that has served me well over the last 5 years!! Thanks JP! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesD Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Impressive Only thing I would add in defense of the 7, he did say they were in Difficult ground setting, which is a filter and does not run the detector at full depth seeking powers, unless of course soils dont allow for Normal setting 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lunk Posted April 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2021 And that was in the difficult ground setting and the sensitivity set at only 4. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Finally some actual measurements...thank you very much to these fellows! Add me to the impressed list as well, I think the 6000 had a better response on the big deep nugget with both coils, and clearly better response on the smaller, shallow stuff. Definitely curious how they both do in Normal and at high gains now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I am also impressed! Like Jason was saying these are the vids I wanted to see too. I would like one though with the same weight at different depths, large and small. I can see why though they added no threshold as a setting. The threshold sounds just like an SDC, never silky smooth. So SDC owners will be used to that and used to how very faint targets sound. One thing is clear though, this this is so sensitive I could see people not digging targets that overload like that thinking its garbage because the old machines it would sound like garbage. So for those who do not dig all, be prepared to now dig all ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason, just an FYI, found this comment on FB GPZ 7000 users of Australia from Andy Laurenson: So far (3 evenings work) I am extremely impressed with the 6000. Going over salty ground that I avoided with the 7000 and have found 2 nice specimens and 2 sub 1gram nuggets. Nenad also mentioned that the GPX 6000 worked well in wet clay soils when he was field testing. Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
