Out detecting with mates and took the opportunity to have a play with the new GPX 6000, and matched it against the older GPX 5000.
Not a like for like comparison as the 5000 had a 12 x 8" Evo coil on it, but the results were interesting anyway....

Guys a few things to note about the 6000. For max depth, threshold ON all the time. Also Auto+ can be good for searching around but when testing like this, there is no consistency as you don't know what level it is actually on. Lastly, keep in mind that the 6000 is in tracking all the time. If you repeatedly narrow sweep over a deep borderline target, the signal response will diminish. So give the coil a few pumps off to the side, then go over the target. Happy hunting!

Yes, all agreed.... it was just surprising on how just turning the machines on, assuming that they were already set up for max performance from a previous hunt, the 5 initially responded better than both the 6 and the 7 on the bullet target.

Aluminium would be a more realistic target than lead as far as a true representation of gold when gold isn't being used as the test object, if you wrap the bullet in foil and do the test again it will most likely be a more accurate test. I am not being critical of your test but give it a go and please let me know what you think. ie; so if you crunch and shape the foil in your hand until it has the equivalent surface area of the nugget size you are testing for, that should be a more accurate test. Cheers and dig more nuggies.👍

@@TheWazza60 sorry to be critical, but I wouldn’t say that lead is a poor choice compared to aluminum in terms of mimicking gold. In fact the density of lead is closer to that of gold than aluminum is, which has an effect of the rate of decay on your receiving signal. So if anything, lead should mimic better.

12x8 evo is a hot coil no doubt, but can be real noisy in hot variable ground. Like to see some comparisons on some real digs with various machines in play, constant tracking on the 6K makes these sorts of tests a bit iffy. still interesting none the less!

The 3030 is mainly used for coins and relics. A very good, deep machine but can be a bit complicated to use. The 5000 is used for gold nugget hunting. Again, very good, deep searching machine and not as expensive as the later GPZ7000 and GPX6000. I am not familiar with the Relic Striker. I think it is a VLF machine which is mainly used for coins and relics. Depends on what you are searching for as to what you choose...

The 6000 in the video is my mate's. I don't own one so I can't test that out. However, the 11" coil is a monoloop and the target centre is probably around where the label is, which means it is less sensitive at the front, but should still read a target. Take it back to your dealer if you consider it faulty.

The SDC is very popular here too, especially in outback Australian places like Tibooburra where there are (were) tiny nuggets scattered everywhere.

You're right. With diminishing gold, the closing off of gold areas and high fuel costs, there's no point investing thousands of dollars on new machines that may only find specks.
