Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

[Dave63]

OOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooh!!!! Spooky Video. That makes me want one!!! Not!!

 

[Solid Luck]

Still says "Coming soon" on the site as far as I can see???

 

[Reg Wilson]

Sorry Dave, but both are monos, and Australian dealers still know nothing. ALL Australian dealers, even those who pretend to know but are supposedly sworn to secrecy know nothing. (I still get inside information)

 

[davent]

Hope your right Reg and my source is wrong.

Gosh, Jonathan has developed a funny accent and looks like he has been out in the sun too long.

The settings certainly are simplified, very much like the GM1000, I was hoping you could still override it and use manual settings but if it handle emi and ground noise better with better target response then it may be a winner.
I kept waiting for it to shut down in the video, couldn't get my eyes off the battery icon flashing, maybe they haven't worked out how to charge it yet

A birdie told me someone got 11 nuggets for just over 2grams with one recently

 

[Reg Wilson]

Dave, Dave. 2 grams. 11 what? Nuggets? No no old son. Them's not 'nuggets'. They is 'specks'. You gotta stop listening to birdies. You sure they weren't fairies? That is what gold pans are for, and they are cheap. Not eight grand for Pete's sake.

I'll just leave this here:

 

[davent]

Sorry Reg, you old blokes got the most of the nuggets back in the 1800s,(did you ever meet Ned Kelly?) yes 11 nearly pickers is what I should have said.

 

[Reg Wilson]

You have to love the improvements in depth that each new detector claims. If you added them up from SD2000 till now you would need a backhoe to dig signals.
What will we do when a gram can be detected at a meter? Might be worth the effort if an ounce is costing $10,000.

 

[Reg Wilson]

Yes Dave I did meet Ned. I think sergeant Kennedy was your dad.

 

[davent]

Nah Reg, my rellies were not from Vic, way to cold down that way for us lot.

 

[Nogoldhere]

Price?

 

[Booney]

It has been mentioned that it will Not be budget friendly.

 

[mbasko]

Tweet tweet :lol:

Coils options revealed so far:
- 11" mono
- 14" DD
- 17" mono

Davent - the 11" mono & 14" DD package for Australia makes sense. IMO what you were told is on the money :Y: No inside information here though :lol:
All 3 would be even better.

 

[mbasko]

Somewhere between $5000 & $9500

Gosh, Jonathan has developed a funny accent and looks like he has been out in the sun too long.

Sounds like you need a glass of lemonade Reg, I don't think the sour grapes are doing it for you these days....

I wonder why they left the gpz off this list?
