g'day
looks good, the only thing I was a little disappointed in was the 40% extra depth compared to a 5000 was with a 11" round and 15x12 eppy on the 5000 and a 14' round on the 7000.
a 14" round on a 5000 will go deeper than the 11" and 15x12 on a 5000. so the extra depth we have been hearing about may not be as big as we hoped for. still a little extra is still good

Interesting on the Deep Only setting, only for very experienced operators and not recommended for general use.

Not much really about settings for detecting in there. More pages are dedicated to using the GPS functions.

A little extra for a $4000 premium I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The video raised more ????????????? for me than it answered, but if I start asking all of them I will be bagged for minelab bashing, oh well!!

Wish they made a cheaper version without GPS and wireless, I'd never use those functions.

Does it work around EMI like on the beach? I don't think iv seen anything regarding EMI issues yet...
For $10000 I'm sure it would...
Also has anyone noticed what technology it uses?

 

[ozzie]

You have yo download the pdf, you cannot directly goto pdf
Delete smiley face in above post use the https (I forgot the s in above post) to goto FCC page and click second from bottom from list to get the manual in pdf.
Bear in mind this was a first draft so some information might be missing or changed since Minelab submitted this to them

Koss TD85's are the best headphones I have ever used by a leap, though the ur30's are very poor quality...

 

[loamer]

they look like UR30s - my apologies, and poor quality is an understatement!! Good vid - tks mate.

yeah lee a little extra for a measly 4k....bargain mate :lol: what could go wrong

would have been good to see 14" up against 14' even if there different tech
I reckon air your thoughts and questions mate, you might point out something others are missing.
I'm trying to see it clearly before laying down $10700 but it's not easy....bit excited I am 8)

I see what you did there.

Had another look at the vid again , I bet no one picked up on what the GPZ found and how deep on its 1st day out

Surely that's for giggles. Otherwise great pickup on a huge oversight.

Questions "Raised" by the video????

It is easy to make a short practical demonstration video to prove or dis-prove anything you want!!!!!!!!
These things need transparency!!!!!!!!

Let me state here I am not bagging Minelab, just trying to provide a voice of reason whilst we all get excited over this new offering.

There was zero mention of any of the timings or settings used when testing the 3 units in this video, to prove something, one only needs to dumb down the other detectors, we have all seen this before with comparisons.

To my way of thinking the target response they were trying to demonstrate on the GPZ was a little inconclusive for me (this may have something to do with the guy continuing to talk at that time ( I have a bit of industrial deafness) what I am saying is this could have been demonstrated Better!!!

Also to me there is potentially to much conductive material in proximity to the coil field, the guy in the hole has headphones & wireless module & to his left there is a pick that is about as close to the coil as the nugget, this may be nothing but I think they should have considered it.

When testing the SDC, I would be surprised if it could not pick up that target!!!! 21 oz lump (would be nice to know that depth) if it was run on 5

Just the way I see it, not bagging just raising legitimate ??? I am excited about it too, a mate of mine is getting one (Steve) and I put a deal to him to use it so see how we go.
