Depth on the new detectors

Can someone from Minelab please tell us on this forum if the new detectors will go much deeper on big gold?

Minelab dont reply on forums...try ringing them

Reading between the lines
"GPX depth advantage"
They haven't specified a particular GPX model other than the coin/relic timing on the 5000 in benign ground in the specs.I guess we'll have to wait and see.

tried ringing...been engaged all day and yesterday as well......GPX depth advantage...do they just mean the new models or old gpx as well?

ML staff are not permitted 2 discuss unreleased models until after the launch date. I think if u read between the lines that the GPX 5000 goes deeper on small nuggets and therefore should be more sensitive to larger ones at depth. don't like the name though. Depth Advantage sounds like a misnomer. could have called it a mega goldsucker and it would sound just as corny!

someone sent me this link. no idea if it is real but I think not. ML don't put their name of the sides of the detectors or at least they haven't done it before. Wot is the likelihood this is real?

tried ear candles and my 3500 went better than me long haired mates 4500

ha ha mungus my gold weight goes up each time out has yours increased so the old 4500 still works .

I'm guessing there'll be a slight increase in depth due to the upgraded technology, making difficult conditions more accessable and having the new units simplified and user friendly.
I don't think we'll see a "great" increase in depth for a few years to come. There's more money in it for minelab if the do it one layer at a time...

G'day Claimpeg.

If they've improved the electronics for better sensitivity and ground balance performance in Enhance timing mode,this in itself should increase overall depth,to both small and large nuggets. The question is by how much?
If i were to go by previous models,overall performance for each new model (through my experience only) were at least a modest 15% better.

Celeste, I saw Narrawa was having a laugh of that pic elswhere, so I'd say fake!!

I am looking at the Minelab brochuer with the same picture in it right now.

Well what does the rest of the brochure say ? but it looks fake to much writing on the control box.

I don't think ML would be sending out fake brochures to their dealers, and thats where I got it.

cheers dave

they printed "WORLD'S BEST METAL DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES" on the side of it?

can i peel that part off?

you buy one you can draw a picture of bert & ernie naked on the side.... who cares

yah but why do I need to be reminded of what brand I bought when the pain of a $7000 hole in my wallet can do the same??

cheesy slogan in gigantic letters is the dumbest thing i ever hear of

who wouldn't want to wrap it in a control box cover to hid their shame??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wot was ML thinking?

If that really concerns you...dont buy one...get yourself a goldsnoop

The first nugget in my jar will remind me of the excellent desision I made

Celeste you thief, stealing stolen property, right click the image and tell me if it has my photobucket details is in the blurb under image location?

Your lower than me.

I'll let you know how smooth it runs after the public release is over.

LOL!

hi dave
what else does that brochures say?
cheers

I love that people can even find something wrong with the outside of
the control box - which is usually covered anyway.
Amazing and weird.

true! and for two weeks they found everything wrong with the gizzards aswell even though nobody had even held one today let alone pulled one apart to look.
I solved the problem with the "controversial" externals and writing...I picked the loudest hot pink control box cover they had in stock
