[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 605803, member: 4485"] Spent the first 3hrs using the GPX6000 today. What a ripper :Y: 8 x speccis & 2 x little colours off a patch I've used all my previous machines on (& so has every other Tom, Dick & Harry). Ran in manual for a while & also in auto/auto+. Auto+ worked well there & found the majority of the gold. Maybe a little "ratty" for some but no mistaking metal targets. Interesting to note that on testing one of the speccis that it could still easily be picked up in a manual sensitivity setting of 1. Plenty of grunt left. (6 - 7 was the best manual setting i.e. smooth running over the majority of ground but both auto modes worked well). If running manual dropping the sensitivity a bit to smooth it out won't be a concern. Love the feel of it! Love the audio! Even like the supplied headphones! Easily rivals (or betters) the SDC for subbies! Pretty sure once that 17" coil is available it will be up there with other GPX models for depth too (& dare I say it the stock GPZ). I can't really fault anything about it. Not sure about the coil connection (just for the sake of something). Might be a point of failure if care not taken. To undo mine I have to wiggle the plug a bit, unscrew, repeat until it comes off. That might eventually cause fatigue somewhere there but it does seem pretty solid. Minelab have done well & hopefully the thought process is applied to future GPZ models. [/QUOTE]
