17x13" Z-Search: Thoughts, Settings, Finds

[@paulmibus5383]

Great stuff Nenad!! Love that evil laugh 😂👍

[@diggingwithphasetech]

Haha, yes gold can make you do some weird things, even after all these years.

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

They cleaned up great - well done

[@diggingwithphasetech]

Thanks 👍

When we weighed the two coils at my local Miners Den store, the 17x14 was 20grams lighter than the original 14”. (Both without lower shafts fitted)

[@diggingwithphasetech]

There will be slight variations in weight in all coils.

Thanks nenad is this review done now or a few months back

Thanks Nenad

Nicely done

thanks

Tks 4 the reviews.

[@diggingwithphasetech]

No problem, thanks for watching.

still got your touch brother

Thanks for watching!

I’m also using the 5000 in normal mode with nugget finder 25 inch DD for larger gold 1 ounce plus bits although it’s great on 4 grammars too . Only down side is need room to swing .otherwise zed with 17 inch is easier to use

[@diggingwithphasetech]

Nice one. Would love a smaller 17-19" DD, 25" is just way too big for here.

[@eurekagold]

@@diggingwithphasetech I think Roman’s working on a 20 inch did

[@jenkosgoldadventures]

Love to see a NF 17” round mono

[@diggingwithphasetech]

The GPZ isn't a traditional PI machine, so can't run a mono. Needs to be DOD or Concentric. Another reason I've hung onto my 4500.

[@detectoraid5985]

Same, held onto a 5000.

[@phrunt]

@@diggingwithphasetech It's hard to part with an older GPX model, there will never be another detector like it, that I'm sure of, especially with the large range of coils. I won't ever part with mine.

[@eurekagold]

I found the 17inch nugget finder my go to coil as it’s quiet and covering more ground and as for general and high yield I found that anything over 2 grams there was 50 mm difference in depth great coil well done Rowan and great review nenad . As for using normal on the zed if you can use it fantastic but most of the ground I’m finding I have to use general difficult with a bit higher sensitivity 12-14 . And steel phase around 3 o’clock

[@diggingwithphasetech]

Yes, spot on. I've even found Extra Deep works really well in bad ground. So stable.

[@blahhblahh1511]

Curious what do you mean by around 3 o'clock

[@eurekagold]

@@blahhblahh1511 the gain on the sp01 around to the right

[@blahhblahh1511]

@@eurekagold Ok sp01 must be an external device then ,,, a booster or something?

[@diggingwithphasetech]

Yes, SteelPhase Audio Enhancer.

someone looks happy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@diggingwithphasetech]

Thanks for your camera work at the end

[@billgabriel8042]

Appreciate will give it a crack

[@diggingwithphasetech]

On specimen, reefy, porous type gold, the 7000 leaves the 4500 in the dust. But for solid nuggets, it would depend on the skill of the operator on each machine. 4500 with a 12" still feels better in my hand compared to the GPZ and 12" Nugget Finder coil, but yes that's with the 4500 battery in the harness. 7000 is nice having the wireless module and not being tethered to the machine (apart from bungy cord).

[@billgabriel8042]

@@diggingwithphasetech so the 7 cant see chucky gold as good as the 4500?

[@diggingwithphasetech]

@@billgabriel8042 it most certainly can. The 7000 with the stock coil sees small gold and large deeper gold all in one sweep.

[@billgabriel8042]

@@diggingwithphasetech sorry to break em just trying to make a decision, so the 6000 have any advantages besides micro gold?

[@diggingwithphasetech]

Much lighter, works very well around powerlines and electric fences with the 14" DD coil. Mono's give you that nice sharp audio signal.
