    Minelab GPX 5000 coil and accessories recommendations

    Just bought a 5000. Wondering what peoples out there are running on them successfully. Obviously the 12 evo is a given. Also definitely the 19 round evo. Middle coil was thinking a 17 eliptical. What about other coils? Advantage worth it. Stock commanders? Detech Ultras? Coiltek. Sadie for the...

    Flat wound vs Traditional wound coils

    The flat wound coils by Nugget Finder and Coiltek are super sensitive which makes them good for shallow gold. But would it be your first choice for hunting deeper large gold? The commander range are not as sensitive so therefore would have less emi less false signals and false targets from hot...

    4500 New or Old?? What is best?

    I have been hearing a lot lately that the older model 45s punch deeper than the new ones. Apparently the older ones still transmit the analog signal whereas the newer ones with the 5000 mother board use a digital wave. Is this true? Brains trust . . . . Go ? Thanks guys. Btw I have a newer one...

    GROUND BALANCE

    Thought I'd start a topic on the importance of ground balancing. I ground balanced in specific last week and jagged 4 nuggets (shallow) in quick time. I'm confused by this. I've never found four nuggets in a day before. Anyone else had success with specific?

    12 Inch Evo vs 11 Inch Elite

    I have been so tempted to buy the 11 inch elite for my 4500. Minelab gold does so well with the same combo but something in my brain went click and I got the 12 inch evo to add to the 15 I already have and sadie. Did I make the right choice ya reckon?

    15 inch Nugget Finder spoked on GPX 4500

    I have recently bought this coil for my unit. I have come to the understanding that pound for pound it is the stand out coil for my machine. 2 days into using it I cracked a .085 at 4 inches I would say. Problem #1. I cant for the life of me accurately pinpoint with this thing. Compared to the...

    Nugget Finder 15 spoked

    Taking a day off for research as its gonna be a stinker today. (40+ Vic) I bought a 15 inch spoked evo last week from Bendigo ML and am struggling to get used to it. SOOOO different to the 11 inch commander in terms of signal response (got a .85 nug and was convinced it was trash by the sounds)...

    Is it just me??

    I have found gold the last 4 weeks running always in the morning never after 1 pm. Gold seems to hide after that lol. I'm slightly confused as to why. Thought maybe the Heat but the last 2 weeks it's been cool so. . . What gives?

    Headphones or Speaker

    What's everyone using in this regard? I've only used my speaker up to this stage mostly to take advantage of the built in amp. Considering using the earphones on my next outing tho.

    Newbie

    G'day pleased to join this group. I have recently bought a gpx 4500. I researched gold and geology for 12 months prior. The problem is apart from the 2Nd time out I can't find any gold. Now I'm doubting my settings, coil, location choices. I still have the original commander mono. I believe it...
