Big shout out to @BLUETTIOfficial for supplying us with their new AC180 power station to review! And what a cracker it is. Love having our hot lunch out bush. We also give Glenn's new GPX6000 a run and Ant's GPZ7000. We are really excited to be out with our new machines!! Thanks to Brad from @the_aussie_prospector and @Swing_n_Ping_Prospecting as well for your support and kind words!! Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the vid and all the best! Cheers, Ant & Glenn

Great video ..hope you feel better ant ..Glen love your knowledge of back in the day ..can't imagine how tuff those people were then .. 6 n 7 ..hmmm ..so expensive ..I will never have either ..but I hope you find heaps with them ..

[@victoriangoldhunters]

Thanks a lot Leigh, appreciate it!! Glenn's knowledge is awesome, we all love it :) I bought the 7 second hand, so that made it a little easier and went halvies with my dad! But definitely not cheap detectors. You gotta be in it 100% to spend that much on detectors. There are cheaper ones out there if you aren't going to use them as often as we do. Thanks - we hope to find heaps too with them :D

Love you videos guys, great to see you well, besides Ant's cold. Thanks for the informative video again Glen I seriously appreciate being able to soak up your knowledge, and Ant if your fridge consumes 10000 watts, well, trade it in mate. Modern inverter fridges use 150 to 300 watts, most fridges use under 800watts. Did you ever get to the bottom of that hole? Cheers lads look forward to seeing you again

[@victoriangoldhunters]

Thanks so much Garry!! yeah, Bronchitis unfortunately, but on the mend now!! hahaha i was just saying something extreme to lead Glenn into saying "of course it wouldn't explode" - because of the safety switch that just shuts the machine down if it's over-powered. We do get to the bottom of the hole in part 2 - which goes live at 6pm tmr! Cheers

[@scottessery100]

Fun fact… china outlawed opium in 1813 but the British East India Company hired private British and American traders to transport the drug to China. Chinese smugglers bought the opium from British and American ships and distributed it within China through a network of Chinese middlemen. By 1830, there were more than 100 Chinese smugglers’ boats working the opium trade. This reached a crisis point when, in 1834, the British East India Company lost its monopoly over British opium. To compete for customers, dealers lowered their selling price, which made it easier for more people in China to buy opium, thus spreading further use and addition. In less than 30 years-from 1810 to 1838-opium imports to China increased from 4,500 chests (the large containers used to ship the drug) to 40,000. As Chinese consumed more and more imported opium, the outflow of silver to pay for it increased, from about two million ounces in the early 1820s to over nine million ounces a decade later.

I let you know how I go on the next session. Cheers

Wow guys 6000 and the 7000 really driving the big dollar gear , the way glen dug that target, glen could get a job with the old miners if he had a time machine. Great to see you guys back on the diggings .was out last week in daisy hill pinged a great 4 gram bit in the most hammered spot it was down deep .Love to buy that 6000 but I'm having great luck with my 4500 it took me 15 years to master it.

[@victoriangoldhunters]

That’s great Alan, congrats on the 4gramer. Sounds like you’ve mastered your 4500 indeed! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Good luck out there. Cheers

[@PetesGoldAdventures]

Great work once again, well done Glenn on the gold, you will come to enjoy the 6, they are a gold magnet and yes, the scoop, it is a hell of a lot easier to find the small gold and lead shot with one. That target your digging Ant inverted from the surface, so it's going to be a good one, the 4500 inverted at 2 grams, the 6 around 1 gram, so what does the 7 invert at? we'll have to wait and see. Cheers Pete

Hi Fellas. The Garrett Axiom has iron discrimination. And its a pulse induction machine as well. Works with both mono and dd coils.

Hi there! Oh nice, we haven't used any Garrett gold machines. Do you use the Axoim? What do you think of it?

[@panpantz]

I've used minelab machines for years. But recently acquired an Axiom. Always testing different machines like the Algoforce e1500. Modded machines etc. So far the Axiom seems somewhere between a sdc 2300 and the 6000. For the price point not a bad machine.
