Minelab GPZ7000 information and questions

[SC75]

I run my threshold on 32, runs fairly quiet and sensitivity on 12. Majority of people i see run there threshold around the mid 20s, and i don't use my ferrite it doesn't seem to make a difference, don't know might be my Z but it does cherp/fart for no reason and im far away from any EMI? it pisses me off . I just installed the update and will give it a go on the weekend.

 

[Chrish]

Yeah, Mine burps and farts as well! I hope this update give us a very smooth threshold? Time will tell :|

Also, anyone know if you can access the time of day on the screen? We enter it on set up and i guess it logs with gps waypoints or finds, but i'd like to know if we can see it via the menu...no luck so far.

GPZ 7000 hidden clock function:

Clock function is interesting.
Wonder if we could push Minelab to improve on that for the next update.

But I guess it would depend how much built in memory is available.

Don't know, it might do nothing. I just read that Jupiter could be the culprit with the noise pollution? WTF.

thanks grubstake, that'll have to do for now!

I've used the new Software a few times now. Hard to note any major differences as conditions always change as do your settings.

What I have noticed is the unit runs more consistently. Hard to explain but just seems better behaved. Will be spending some more time with it in Vic soon.

 

[GypsyGoldAu]

Not long now Phase Tech.

Just a nudge to remember those skid plates



Cheers

found the problem with my gpz7000, artificial knees,unable to use, picks up the new knees,pity as i was keen as mustard,now for sale

 

[Redfin]

Geez that's a bummer Bob.
I have an implant in my left leg from knee to ankle and it picks that up too, so I learnt to
alter my swing.
Machine is definitely smoother after the update.

We'll I'm hitting old dig zones and just finding trash , no gold yet any advice fellas ?

 

[SteelPat]

If you are finding trash, you will find gold. Just have to walk over it.

If you look through this thread: https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=11703 you will get plenty of tips and tricks.

Probably not the first & definitely won't be the last:

Please be wary with these "too good to be true" deals.
Alarm bells:
#1 - the low price & bank account only payments
#2- the photo. This picture actually has what appears to be one of the early test machines with a prototype coil attached - note the terracotta colour. More than likely downloaded from Google search. I've seen it before & it's possibly one of Nenads photos or one off Steve H's Detector Prospector forum?
#3 - no mention of serial number
#4 - no mention if it's used or new but would appear to be passing off as new machine/s from the cut n paste spiel. No mention of being a dealer & only authorised dealers could have new, authentic machines for sale.

My guess is they are using it as a scam to get cash with no detector actually for sale or they may be on selling fakes? Either way steer clear in my opinion!

 

[SteelPat]

Looks like it has been removed already. I would love to catch one of those scammers. We could take em out and tie them to inch ant nest.

 

[Goldtarget]

True that mbasko. Cut and paste right down to the 3 year warranty. Nil feedback. Good spot and share fella.
Always ask for the sales receipt and serial number.

 

[PhaseTech]

I think that was one of Gerry McMullens photos

 

[Chewy]

Dodgy!

 

[XIV]

it be gone now.
removed to a better place, ebay bin

 

[Guest]

I just checked now and it's selling for $5000.

 

[mbasko]

It's still there (or back):
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161914382861&alt=web
Item # 161914382861

Worse thing is there are 11 people watching it. Hopefully not to buy :|
I've asked him a heap of questions re: serial number, origin etc. Seller isn't answering - probably hoping someone hits buy it now & just pays up without thinking.
