jasong Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I noticed it was semi-elliptical, but given the "full elliptical" size (14x9, 17x11, etc) which are some of the most, if not the most popular sizes for general use these days and are conspicuously absent from the 7000 coil lineup, was wondering if there was an issue with producing those with this new technology or if Minelab was going to rely on 3rd parties, or...any number of questions there. I guess I'll hold off on any more questions, with new technology that is completely secret I guess it's hard to even determine what a good or bad question is at this point. Anyways, looking forward to hearing your full report, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hillis Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Looking at the brochure, it seems to me that a dedicated prospector would have to have one. It appears to be 3 machines in one. And a whole new coil design. It doesn't appear the normal mono loops are going to work with their new technology. New business for the aftermarket coil mfgs. .1 gram mininum response. That is good for a PI. Do you really want to dig gold smaller than that? Severe ground still limits it, per the brochure ground setting recommendations, but then again, severe ground limits everthing. HH Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have never watched the unveiling of a metal detector before, but from what I can see minelab gets 5 stars for building suspense, a countdown to a website giving you details about a product not available yet. Do we have to take them on 3 dates to get our first peek at the real goods? sponsored by a minelab dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirelessguy Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Junkman, I'll speculate the Aussie marketeers ran into some Apple folk at a bar or conference and got a few pointers on "Hype 101". We'll all forget about this phase of product introduction if the GPZ 7000 proves to be worthy like the first iPod, iPhone, iPad which indeed fully delivered.

Junkman Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I hope it works out like apple products, my family owns the latest and greatest ipods, iphones,and ipads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Damned if they do, damned if they don't. People ask for information. Minelab provides it, people scream hype. Most of the hype is self created by people speculating on the forums. If people do not want GPZ 7000 shoved in their face, they should quit clicking on the links that are GPZ 7000 related.
