    GPX5000 Modifications

    Sorry for my tardy responses. Thanks SS. I have leccy taped the big Minelab battery to the side of the DD cover to give it a try 🤣 It is heavy and makes the detector want to tilt to the R) but I will give it a go this week and see how I fare. Have altered the harness a little to try and...

    GPX5000 Modifications

    Thanks SS. That is certainly the cheapest option as I already have 2 X of the lithium batteries for the 5000. Yes, the weight would be my main concern too. Certainly a good harness makes a difference and I already use a guide stick - they are imperative I think. I even use it on the 6000...

    GPX5000 Modifications

    Thanks IB. I’m thinking very similar to the Coiltek setup that I have for the GP3500? Fairly compact and with the little pack it just hangs off the side. But, it is 470 gm and they are only 6600 mAh. Any idea what weight yours is? Having nearly half a kilo hanging off the side - it all...

    when will Laverton WA be opened again?

    Hi Ethan. I was in Leinster, Leonora, Laverton in the past couple of weeks. Pretty much all roads are open now but some with a ‘caution’ attached. A few salt lakes are chockers with water but the roads we travelled were generally good, some are excellent. Remember 40E’s, or only...

    GPX5000 Modifications

    The good old search function has brought me to this thread, which has been interesting. I've been lucky enough to recently receive a modded 5000 (modded by Mick at Detectronics) and a really good range of coils. Likely to sell the 6000 in the near future. Looking to set up a battery system...

    I know what you mean. I grew up on a sheep farm and had roast lamb, minced lamb, braised lamb, crumbed lamb, lamb curry, lamb chops, lambs fry 🤣 By the time I went to Uni I couldn’t stand it. But, now it would have to be my favourite, especially roast shanks. Love lambs fry and love mum’s...

    Thanks all. Same issue as Casper, crashes on startup. I thought to delete and reinstall but I assume I would have lost all trails, spots, gold marks for this trip if I did that?? Last day today so not an issue for a week or so now.

    Evening all. I downloaded the new Trilobite update from the Apple Store 2 days ago and since then haven’t been able to open it. Thankfully brother in law has a backup Samsung with everything I need. Anybody else has the issue? I contacted David through the website 2 days ago but no...
