65% deeper than the 5000.........I think I am going to end up with bigger arms.......or an Excavator.

That sure is going to make Calcrete a PITA .

There kidding right, they dropped the price of the GPZ7000 by about $1200 and they want us early (beta testers) to give them another $1295 for the privilege, yer right.

cheers dave

WE KNOW U WILL DAVE--U CANT RESIST.

Then again the least amount of buyers the more the rewards for those that plunge in.

Just like those that bagged the GPZ--I don't know of many people that haven't paid off their detector thus far and
its so easy to use even with half a brain.

cheers.

In for a penny In for a pound.

Minelab are saying across the board, no exceptions, on all gold bigger than 1.9 grams the new coil will go deeper.
Could be worth a look at if it`s true
Pity the damn thing weighs nearly 2 kilos

Looks like ML are going to make us all pay for their stuff ups while making this new coil. Come on ML how does $500.00 add up to the $1200 you dropped off the original price that all of us original buyers paid. After all it's not our fault that you had trouble when building this new coil. Yes I'm not happy Jan.

Interesting there is no literature on "Extra Deep" gold mode.

I thought that was going to be the 'go to" mode and designed for the bigger coil...

Here is a link to the ML brochure for 19" coil.

Ta for that Phoenix, 1.83kg does not phase me one bit.
Mrs Redfin runs the 7000.
I'm still playing with the 5.

Hi Folks.
Just out of interest, what does the standard 14" coil weigh?
AUoptimist.

They must have the 19" working ok without another software update!

Sadly its the way things go..........I can't remember how many times I have brought things to only find out a better newer and cheaper model was coming out in a few weeks time.....geez I hate that.

Anyway, lets hope those of you that get the new coil find so many nuggets the price fades into oblivion........fingers crossed

Hi there Jen & Mike, I feel your pain....but Minelab are a business & out to make $$$$$.  We all know that & also know they do make the best of detectors. They know that too so until some one else can match or better their products......we are stuffed & they will put a high price on their products. You know that despite your displeasure at the price you will get the 19" coil.....Minelab know that to. Bugger aye....damned if you do & damned if you don't. You will then have a good excuse to go back over all your old grounds. Just hope you find the goods to make the coil pay.
Good luck out there.

JW  

geez
what pain is there--

you buy a detector a good 12 months befor the drop in price and u cant tell me in that time alone u only found 10 grams of gold--
you would have the edge on everyone else that was trying to bag the machine, finding gold is a lot easier.

a lot of people are compassionate but theres a group that are compulsive..just be thankful that there are a few clever people out there making gear that Minelab are creating. Hang the expense.
The rest have been left way back and in time if they don't come up with something in left field then they will simply disappear.

The 19" coil is mainly suited to ground that has deep sub soils, laterites, river washed banks etc

Then theres the day time effect that plays on the performance of the detector.

ahh that's enough

cheers.

Thanks fellows..

I just needed to have a bit of a Rant!  

Hi all

I purchased my 7000 in the first week of release
So let’s say I purchase my shiny new 19” coil for $1295.00 I use it for 3 or 4 weeks and for whatever reason I don’t like it.
I then decide to sell it Surly I would get my money back, as anyone with a 7000 purchased after march 16 would have to pay full price of $1795.00 so a second hand one at $1295 would be a bargain right.

What do you think how much would the second hand resale value be?

Is it worth buying trying and if you don’t like it then sell it without loosing any $$$

Or another view point whats to stop me from buying it new for $1295 then sell it for $1545 I make 250 bucks and someone else gets 250 bucks of the price of a brand new coil
Im not saying I am going to do this I am just putting it out there


Regards
Mick

Hi Folks,
Just watched the video on the new 19" coil being packaged, it would appear that it comes with a lower shaft, initially I thought it may have been an extension of some kind; checking again it looks pretty standard.
Cheers, AUoptimist.

Thanks guys,

I can see the good points, but I still feel a bit ripped off. We picked ours up on the first day of release, Saturday 21st of March 2015 after we received an Email from MineLab.

Cheers.

Mike.

I'm with Mike & Jen ,

Even though I don't own a 7000 ( yet ) the new coil price is over the top & the calculation of the price for a $10,700 buyer compared to a $9,500 is

Out of whack ....!!!

     

It is only good for 20g  and up. Am I reading that chart correctly??
