I Got Caught Cheating And I Don't Care, New Gpx-6000 Is A Serious Heart Throb And Then Some

[Gerry in Idaho]

Yes I promised myself the old reliable GPZ-7000 was such a performance hog I would swing her until the end.  Well folks, the 7 and I are about to split the sheets and I'll let her beat up on some other old guy.  Sure she touched down in places I didn't know existed and had the sensitivity to blow my mind, but after a long workout with her, my pore old body ached for days.

This new GPX-6000 (I promise you in the US) will rule the goldfields for a few years.  The ergonomics on a PI is 2nd to none.  The weight is not 2 ounces lighter than a 7000, but over 2 pounds lighter.  But the compactness, the feel and lack of a harness and swing arm makes me feel naked again and I LOVE IT..  In fact, I might even take this sweetie to Burning Man (for those down under go to YouTube and watch a few Burning Man videos, watch out there might be A LOT OF NUDITY and some really weird shit. 

Anyway, this detector is the one we (most of us) have been asking for and patiently waiting for.  After all, check out the pics and see for yourself.  The GPZ-7000 in the pic is as short as I can get it and the new GPX-6000 is half as long.  I even took a pic of my forearm next to the GPX-6000 and it literally i only a few inches longer, approx 30" with the coil flat out.  It can get shorter if you lift the coil straight up but I imagine most of us will have the coil flat.

The reports from my customers and 2 staff members are exactly what we heard as for performance and I am thrilled.  I'm so excited, heck I'm even going to grab one and take it for a hunt to 2 different states I have never hunted for gold before in my life, just so I can say I found gold in those two. I won't mention the states right yet, but you'll hear about it and probably some pics of gold to share and show.

Those of you at the Rye Patch NV training end of June, we had last month were able to see 2 of them in action and I even noticed a couple folks grab them just so they could find a nugget or 2.  I'm not promising everyone will find gold, but from a guy who has been hunting and training at Rye Patch NV for 25 yrs, I sure know when something comes along that just turns the "gold switch" back on.  I seriously think I could go there right now and find 10 to 20 nuggets a day, probably average 15 in a 3 day hunt.  Now I know they may not be big gold nuggets, but when was the last time you went there and found 10 in a day?  Last fall I took the GPZ-7000 to RP and had 2 days of 7 each day, and I know I'll do better and find more this time.

Now here is the funny thing though.  I personally really don't care about the better performance on most gold and that's a fact for me.  I care most about the new design, compactness, ease of use and less wear to my body.  Yes folks, I got caught cheating and I really don't care.  I'll be swinging a new girl on the dance floor and she's one hell of a looker.  Yes the GPX-6000 is a serious game changer and please do not wait a year or two before you decide to get one, I promise anyone swinging a GPX-5000, an SDC-2300 and most certainly the GPZ-7000 will really enjoy this new GPX-6000.

When I read this part I didn't know if I should go any further  as I don't do porn.

I can remember a couple of girl friends that had me the same way, and I had to get rid of them when someone better came along.

Glad to hear your report on this new detector and maybe someday down the road I will get one, but for now I barely have time to even think about detecting. Grandmother has been really bad off lately and I have had to take care of everything for her.

This weekend i am planning to go sluicing in a creek near me, a place that has produced a couple of ounces for me, just to get out of the house.

My 800 is collecting dust waiting for a new coil and the time to use it.

Great review and tell us more.

Yes Sir that's me.  When Lunk and I get a chance to head your way, we'll do a few days in the bush and see who can give the best tall tale some night while watching the stars and weighing our GPX-6000 nugget recoveries.  Although knowing Lunk, he'll probably swing day and night and not worry about weighing until the end.  Just realize if we drop him off in an area an hour later it will look like he never moved.  Quite a methodical hunter he is.

Gerry, I want to see a big chunk in your mouth, not a bunch of dinks.  Don't get me wrong, I like dinks as well as the next guy.  But you've set the bar high for yourself with those Oreo Cookie, etc. nugget photos and I know you've got some more hidden in the ground somewhere in your prime detecting spots.  Let's see the GPX6000 lift a loaded barbell.  We all know (from other reports) it can handle the hand weights.

Jee wiz Gerry I think I seen this coming a while ago... mid life crisis... why on earth would a guy drop a good strong reliable and quiet detector for some younger better built thing with a sharp tongue? and she gets moody to boot! 

I'll be watching you more closely from now on 😊

Well since I will be taking one on my next trip, I could actually find a nice mouth full, but the 2 states I will be hunting and their sites are my own customers who have been using their GPZ-7000's (with success).  I also know the size of gold they have been pulling from these sites are smaller nuggets.  I think the largest was a 5 gram, so if I find one any larger than that, I'm most certain they will make me walk back all the way to Idaho or toss me in the nearest river.  It's not good luck to get an invite to a friends spot and then pull the biggest piece of gold from there right in front of them.  But it has happened before.

If I come back with gold (and I am sure I will) that is really just icing on the cake.  being able to spend time in the field while learning a new detector and comparing it to the GPZ-7000 with friends is most important.  The camaraderie built on such trips is really what allows us for many years of memories to chat about.

But then again, I was told the history books say there was big gold in the area.

As I get time with this new girl (trip coming up), I'll find out how moody she really is.  I'm not saying the guys complaining don't know what they're talking about with the EMI as they actually have more time on one that I do right now.  But I just remember so many people complaining about the old girl GPZ-7000 when she 1st came out.  Heck even Jasong was a hater of the 7 at first, but as we all know he came along to liking her.  

I think so many people are used to carrying cell phones on their body these days, they really don't know how much those things cause issues.  I don't even carry it with me anymore, unless I am in an area I think I'll need for pics, then I carry it but totally off and in my back pocket.   You could be right my friend and my new girl just might blech a bit more than my 7, but even the 7 had issues until we starting getting things dialed in.  Heck the 1st year I was training on the 7 with totally different settings than what I train now.

Either way, just picking her up and twirling on the floor a few times, gets me excited as I know I'll be able to hunt longer and in areas I can side swing much easier.  If there is the occasional stinky belch I'll just hold my breath for a few moments.
