Too Hot

[LuckyLundy]

What a time for the new GPX 6000 to arrive in the middle of Summers heat waves!  Well members of our group couldn’t wait a day longer with their batteries fully charged on the 6000.  Heat or not they found nuggets from Arizona, California and Rye Patch.  As I, was busy in the backyard with Honey-do’s!  As I, was doing my thing, the Boyz where filling me in on what they liked about the 6000 and what they didn’t from the Goldfields to my backyard!  One was the Battery doesn’t last for a full day of Summer Swinging!  Another, was even though super light weight hanging onto 4 pounds all day you need a Bungee System!  We have extra batteries in order.  The GPZ 7000 Harness is a hot one as I was thinking!  I have something I’ve had for years somewhere in my garage!  I found it, fitted it on and added a bungee on the 6000.  I gave it a whirl around my garage!  It’s from Doc’s Detecting Supply same place our new GPX 6000’s came from, it called “The Swingy Thing.”  I tell you my arm even swinging the Monster needs a break now and then.  Anyways, The Swingy Thing is super lightweight and has Alligator strength Clips to fasten to your pants like a pair of Suspenders!  Should help out on Plumbers Cracks too! 😂  Also, seems the 6000 doesn’t like to swing next to other 6000’s.  I asked my Partners how bad, well it seems no more patch sharing in close (25 yard) tight patches!  Anyways, the Boyz are happy with the nuggets their finding on our old patches!  Here’s to some new patches!  I’m ready to hit the Goldfields and hopefully no more big chores around our new home in Reno.

Hi, just reading your text regarding the machine not liking other 6000 close by. Is this an issue of the bluetooth interference in the headphones and/or the electronics power? cheers sturt

The battery performance get's better on the second and third day of discharging/charging. But it is good to have a spare one. BTW, nice backyard !

Strut,

I'm no Electrical Engineer, it is what it is!

I hope I’m done, that backyard digs into my Beer Money! 😂. Glad to hear the batteries may last longer with progressive charging.  But two is a must, for multi day hunts.

LL nice home and I bet your wife will let you slide a little after you clean up some of the stone blocks around the garden, and touch up the brown wood to white. That way everything will match and look so much cleaner to her. Run it by her and see what she says about it, you may even get a couple of weeks off to detect.

So what happen to Rim Rock Detectors?

 

[LuckyLundy]

Valens,

I really tried to keep her eyes off my Man Shed, but she had to put them flowers under my Window!  Always something next, as you well know.

Swegin,

Rim Rock Detectors, moved to Arizona!  Way to many Minelab Dealers to move the business with him.  I’d like to think, I’ve search thru Steve’s Forum on how to delete that!  Can’t find it and of course forgot how I got it there!  If that was a patch of gold I’d know who to fix it, lol.  Our group, moved our Minelab needs to Doc Detecting Supply.

Should be in your profile.  Click your name at the top right of the page then edit profile.  Good luck with your new Dealer.

   Did the 6000 come with a "small print" label that says "May cause user to grow a second head! Use at your own risk!"🤣👍👍
