Not me Rick, I "borrowed" it from Gold Catcher. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say I am being negative, I say I am being a realist JP. I have a nice selection of very expensive coils for our current GPX that just won't fit the new 6K, and a selection of X Coils for the ZED. I don't want to be locked into Minelab's limited coil offerings again. $8K plus is just taking the Mickey as far as I am concerned ! Mine the miners ! I can see the appeal of this detector to new chums, who don't already have a heap of equipment. PS : Apologies to Goldcatcher who first put the chart on.

Jonathan Porter Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Did not mean to offend but a lot of your comments are based on presumption. I can see your point and can only say that time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to be proven wrong, but certainly for the foreseeable future, I will be sticking with the existing tech, which is serving me very well. 😉 Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe McHugh Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I recently read an article regarding 5G tech & how global warehouses use robotics to run the whole show, with efficiency of logistics being 5 times faster then people running it. I think this will be the same for the 6K regarding settings you would normally have to adjust on the run over & over again to keep your detector in optimal settings & running smoothly. It seems the 6K will be able to manage this much faster with way more precision then any operator could. I might have talked my self into buying one 🤫 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe McHugh Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 So do the current line up of coils for the 5k not suit the 6k? anyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
araratgold Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 12 pin coil plug on the new 6K, so that would appear to be a NO ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
