Ridge Runner Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 If you had 8000 dollars to buy one are more detectors how would you spend it? I’m talking about nugget hunting only. Here’s what each detector cost. GPZ 7000 $7999.00 GPX 6000 $6000.00 GPX 5000 $4000.00 SDC 2300 $3299.00 GM 1000 $899.00 Equinox 800 $949.00 For the Nox you will need a small coil that don’t come with it. Minelab 6” round coil $179.00 Coiltek 10X5 coil $219.00 Remember you have only 8000 to spend. It’s been said one detector can’t do it all.

Purplehays69 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 The 6000 without a doubt. It is absolutely amazing. My buddies monster couldn't handle the hot ground yesterday. I dug 22 nuggets, he finally got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 If I didn't already have a few detectors I'd buy a 6000. Now that I have some I would buy USED equipment for further purchases depending on where I was going to look for nuggets. I'm not a great fan of tiny but that might be all there is in the near future. I have a 7000 setup for an X-coil so I would get a concentric. What will be left AFTER the 6000? DEEP will be the only game in town then. You can't keep missing shallow gold forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Runner Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 I too would make my first choice 6000 and I already have a Nox 800 with the 10X5 on how far back order. That coil comes with a question mark ? . My main problem for me is weight ! If I can reduce that it gives me more time swinging. I can’t leap tall building anymore but I can walk around them. This is what all works best for you. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn in CO Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 GPX 6000 Equinox 800 Minelab 6” round coil $179.00 Save the rest for fuel and grub, which at today prices won't last long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Okay Chuck, since you are going to give me the $8,000, I will pick up the 10x5 coil for my 800 and then get a used pickup to get out there to hunt the gold. I am sending you my address and expect your check soon. Thanks for making my month as it has been a heck of a month so far and I know the money will help.

Ridge Runner Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Valens Legacy I was thinking about spending it on a Can Am Ryker 600 . Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
