[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 38217, member: 487"] I want to see how well it ground balances and rejects EMI with a Monoloop coil, I think it might be running in a cancel type mode with the DD coil in the tests. GPX 5000 with a DD in cancel mode is extremely quiet and will GB perfectly in severe EMI where a mono could never be run, though loses significant depth in cancel mode. Dunno why everyone thinks the GPX is a gold only machine, I'd say it's the best junk detector ever made that also happens to excell at finding gold. :) Only place you can't run it is under water. 1 diamond ring or a rare coin could easilly pay for the machine. Garret say their DD is a new coil design so maybe it's a DD that detects in the centre of the coil in a phase cancelling type mode? That would account for it being so quiet. Where are the coil covers? Are there any? Could you run it in suburbia or near power lines with a monoloop? I doubt it, but if it does that would be impressive. Not bagging it, I'm interested.
