That's a very expensive battery, especially with such low amps. oop:
Makita lithium batteries are much better value :fistpump:

Yep totally agree,slogging us for spare batteries a bit on a very expensive unit allready.
Take note of that coil price though,stab in the dark here but that's kinda telling me the monos are nothing special???
Hopefully NF,coiltek or x coils will have others on offer at some stage....

For those in the NT, the 6Ks were dispatched from Adelaide today, so could be in store as soon as Friday.

Should we really need Aftermarket coils when spending so much on a Detector ?

The latest direct from a dealer....

MMMMMMMMMMM.....

It seems many are willing to pay big bucks for aftermarket coils for the 7000, and voiding warranty in the process.
Many have spent thousands on aftermarket coils for the GPX series.
So yes, the sheep will buy anything that they think will find more, or in most cases, their first piece of gold.

I received a Miners Den Australia email Wed 14 Apr advising that the GPX6000 can now be ordered, with the following link.
https://www.minersden.com.au/minela...719863&utm_medium=email&utm_source=smartrmail
It is advertised at $7,999.00
It also had a link for 10 instructional videos.
Visit the website to watch: www.minelab.com/LearnGPX6000
The videos are short and easy to understand.
Cheers

Looks like Minelab were very busy behind the scenes. Those videos are perfect, means I don't have to do training and can get out and dig some more gold myself ickshovel:

Some of my finds during field testing.

Sorry, first and last photo is the same nugget, it just looked good sitting on the control panel.

Can the alligator clips be removed and changed into a USB connector for ease of charging?

You'll need a 12v input.

No chance, mate - USB is only good for 5 volts, the GPX6000 battery needs 12 volts.

There's got to be something better than alligator clips
