Short video of the GPZ 7000 1st outing

This was a our 2nd target in on the 1st day. Gives a good example of the double tone.

Nice find there.

Good work there !

Yeah fine, but why could you not have got that with a 2100?

Not sure what it's showing here, it sounds noisy, they were using noisy setting as well. That's quite a big nugget, as Inhere alluded to, you could have found that with a previous model. All I'm saying is let us see it within some sort of perspective. It may have been a noisy area with lots of interference.

I think he was just confirming the GPZ actually does find gold

I have been picking up nuggets half that size at that depth with the 5000 and a 12x7 coil, so they must have been testing the detector, I would love to see the comparisons shown on a target with the 5000 and GPZ, by the way good find fellas.

Ground had been ranked in 95 when GP came out through to the GPX 5000 and recently re-raked and hammered by me and at least 6 others with SDC's that I know of.
Ground is very hot.
Was running High Yield, Difficult Ground, Sens 4. Smoothing off
I had pulled 3 .05 bits at 6 inch within 3 feet of this one with the SDC 2300, the one in the video was 1.0gr at about 10 inch.
Thats 4 inches more for .95 of a grams, it had me and the others watching shaking there heads.

The common comment I am hearing is "my 5000 would have found that". I can not prove or disprove that but the same people are now getting similar results as me as they head back to old patches and changing it to "My 5000 wouldn't have got that"
There seems to be a lot of focus on depth, the real "Bruce Magic" I feel is in its ability to punch in to high mineralised ground.
I see very little post's from those with them, to busy digging and hoping no one else gets one..................

Obviously not much to tell from the video other than the double response on the new coil. I've found the argument of another detector would have found that piece sometimes questionable. My first day with the 2300 was at a patch I had hammered. I'd recovered over 200 nuggets from this small half acre patch but only ever found about a 2 dozen lead bb's. The GPX 5000 could find them but the SDC could find them much easier. I was detecting that patch one day with a partner using a 5000 with the 8" commander. I dug over 70 BB's to his 8. Strangely we found the same amount of gold that day. It's not that the 5000 couldn't find them, it's that they were much EASIER to find with the 2300. It's a fine line where new tech improves on old and I'm not sure where that line is drawn with the 7000 but just because you've dug a 1 grammar at 40 cm doesn't mean you haven't passed a dozen at the same depth.

Thanks for the report and the video, keep up the good work ay.

cheers dave

Nice vid and good result....Looks like a couple of g weight??
The 7000 sounds nice and sensitive with minimal ground noise....Not real keen on the double response close to the coil but then who cares so long as it pings the gold.
I feel fairly certain that my Inf would have found that nugg no probs, but that is not the point hey! The point is that even though the signal was mellowed a bit by the ground minerals, the 7000 found the nugg with ease.
   So now I have two tectas on my hit list that I cannot afford. The 2300 and the Zed.

You can still use the first Mac too if you want.

Yes, of course you could find it with a 2100, 2200, Extreme, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500 and yes, even a 5000
