GPZ 7000 For Meteorites

[Lunk]

The Minelab GPZ 7000 is an excellent meteorite detector. At the Franconia strewn field, the three small fragments shown below were "bread crumbs" that led me upslope to their larger parent individual; all were buried beneath the surface.

Hi Lunk...

 Nice Franconia finds.... I agree the 7000 is an excellent detector for meteorite hunting. I was hunting a new strewn field not to long ago, (about 20 miles actually from where you were in Franconia) and the 7000 was the one to find a nice piece, there were about 6-7 others that had vlf's and skunked. I have also found some nice large pieces in gold basin, that I know I have gone over with the 5000, but the 7000 sang nice and loud on it...

Right on Dave, I was hoping that others would chime in with their Zed space rock finds; thanks for sharing. 

The pulse induction machines are notorious for being unresponsive to certain types of meteorites that a VLF can see, but like you said, the Zed sure nails them!

Hi Lunk  

I have GPZ 7000 

The soil here is mineralized and i dont have any knowledge of it to minimize its noise because it is disturbing

Would you pls send me the setting to operate it in perfect way.

[Lunk]

Hello Sajuu,

In highly mineralized ground, try these settings;

Gold Mode: High Yield
Ground Type: Difficult
Sensitivity: 15
Ground Balance Mode: Auto
Volume: 15
Threshold Level: 35
Threshold Pitch: 25
Audio Smoothing: High
Volume Limit: 3

You may also have to reduce the sensitivity if the ground is severe. 

Good luck to you!

I have found several Gold Basins with my 7000...it certainly sniffs them out!

That's great Fred; ZVT will find the deeply buried meteorites with ease.
