the GPX 6000

Directly compare side by side no I have not, but I have run the 6000 over ground I have flogged with all coils on the Z including the 10 and 17 CC. The 6000 picked up many scraps on al patches I have been over except for on a very bony patch, too many scraps at depth for there to be anything but only one conclusion, the 6000 kills the Z even with the X coils on deep scraps, I however have not recovered any pieces above sub-gram in those flogged patches suggesting to me at this stage, the Z/X combo has more or equal depth on larger pieces. I say at this stage as maybe there are no larger pieces at depth on those particular patches, in time I may change this early observation but without doubt the 6000 gets gold behind Z/X combos.

Like I said initially in a post, I am both a X Coil and Minelab enthusiast and to add to that I have no affiliation with either or with anyone but the GoG (Goddess of Gold) CC X coils for the 6000 may be the go in the future or perhaps ML have a software update for the Z to get it up to speed.

Much appreciate your open honest unbiased opinion on the GPX 6000, as compared to the GPZ 7000 over gram/sub gram gold Norvic. Its information like this, that gives people a fairer clearer understanding on whether or not the 6000 is in ones best interest to invest in one or not. Much appreciate it Norvic.

Cheers Kon.

Kon, Ok to add, as I sense you wish to be "armed" with the best, go the 6000 tis an amazing machine that gives results you`ll scratch your head about and ask yourself is it really possible to pick up such small scraps at such depth. It is and it does. ML have done it again, I look forward to Z2 or Z1s update just hoping ML will allow us to use our X coils.

Once you have found 3 plus ounces, it has paid for it self but a lot will not get that target unfortunely. Let hope the fun they have had compensate for that.

Agree geof. Gold is getting scarcer to find with each passing year, not alone entering this type of hobby today, as a complete newbie.
Although investing in the latest detector technology, designed specifically for locating gold, will greatly increase a newbies chances of locating some sort of colour, finding un-thrashed productive gold bearing ground will be the difficult part.

Cheers Kon.
