Minelab GP Extreme outperforms my newest detectors, check this out.

[@MrGef12]

Good job Woody..may have to rework my ol gal again ..n lift it up a bit 👍

[@chrisleigh777]

I have an old but immaculate rare Naulilus DMC2BA in new condition with a large coil on it. It can hit a deep led ww1 bullet head at silly depths that even my new manticore with the large coil on stuggles to get any signal. With x4 9v batteries on it. It is truly an unbelievable old school beast. Mines got the mod straight shaft with the return button on . Now I have an Aka Intronika smart pulse now that discriminates iron at depth again unbelievable depth. You might want to look that up. A nice guy called Stephen in Bulgaria sent me one with 2 coils for 1280€ euro. Works on beach in black sand and it's truly impressive 👌

[@DetectorMods]

I will check it out.

Nothing wrong with having a good chat, at least your not boring 👍

[@johntsentidis6637]

Hi mate I just found your channel, I'm just starting to learn about gold detecting, don't have allot to spend on a good detector , that gp one sounds good going to see how much it's worth what state are you in. If in need help down the track.👍

[@ragdollcat7512]

Thanks for informative video and the others I have just recently discovered. I'll be getting my 4500 modified by you and also refer you to my buddies. We are always seeking more performance from our detectors when in the goldfields.

[@DetectorMods]

So much more can be obtained both for small and big deep gold.

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

good to wofal on a bit mate its years of learning and experience trying to get out so other people can learn i not to good reading or writing but learn a lot from doing things seeing how things work and why pull things apart, and learn that way mostly, so hats of to you mate

[@johntsentidis6637]

Good job, I like when someone knows what they are talking about. Do you have a mate here in sa that does the same thing.👍

There are a few tinkerers around but we are not associated with any.

Enjoy the vids. I have a GP Extreme and you have got me thinking about an upgrade. How long do the upgrade generally take.

[@DetectorMods]

Depends on work load, contact Dave via Detectormods.com to check on our back log.

I am going to look for a old minelab gp detector and then send it to you to mod! :)

Hello Mr Detectormod, I have just discovered your channel and been binge watching ever since…… first up, thank you for your patience in explaining things for those of us who have no clue or experience in the multitude of things associated with detectors. Next, don’t waste your time responding to haters, trolls or devil dodging agitators…..you’re far too busy and have probably forgotten more than these clowns know. You have inspired me to give the world of detecting a crack, I am interested in walking the bush for gold but also want to give the beach both dry and wet detecting a go. With your vast knowledge and expertise is there a detector that you would recommend for a beginner with a view to get into detecting on a serious level? I understand I could go into a shop and get talked into a mega dollar detector by a salesman but I would appreciate your advice if you would be kind enough to help me out. I’m 64 years old with very limited computer/tech expertise so the KISS method certainly applies to me, also if you sell used detectors I will definitely be interested. All the best and thank you, Peter B.

[@DetectorMods]

Hi, Minelab have some detectors that can do both the beach, parks and goldfields, I would check out the online detecting forums and see what people like using and see if you can find a secondhand version, even a model older will still 100% fantastic.

[@pub6023]

@@DetectorMods thank you, I’ll look into it. All the best!

[@baits9301]

Thats incredible , what will the frequency mod do . Also i have a gp3500 , gpx4000 , gpx4500 and the gpx5000 . Which one would you mod out of all of those , if you had the choice .

[@DetectorMods]

The detector that comes alive the best is the 4500 as that is what I use as my go to detector.

[@baits9301]

@@DetectorMods what about the frequency mod , what does that do , or maybe explain it in one of your clip , if you haven't already . Thanks Woody .

[@DetectorMods]

@@baits9301 I can make a video that can explain every mod in great detail.

[@geoffdrew5207]

I had a GPZ7000 that would not pick up a speck that size at that distance and probably not at all. I was considering buying a new detector but will now keep my eyes out for a GP Extreme, though I suspect their second hand value will go through the roof.

[@DetectorMods]

When you think about it, what do the older detectors lack? Variable gain, and different modes but that can be made much the same with variable frequency plus critical performance component upgrades.

[@geoffdrew5207]

@@DetectorMods The prices Minelab charge for their detectors are ridiculous when you look at the minimal improvements over previous models. When I had the 7000 I detected with an old guy that had an unmodified 4000 worth a fraction of the 7000 but the performance difference between the two was negligible.

[@roymanewell4958]

what do you recon it would be like in the wet sand

[@DetectorMods]

It depends on the amount of conductive salt and minerals. If no salt it would be like detecting mild ground.

[@chrisleigh777]

Forgot to add a Canadian company has bought a pulse out that will search for just gold or silver or all metals but exclude iron . I can send you the KZbin link woods but you should able to locate it on here. Let me know if you have trouble finding it and I'll send link. I love pulse detectors so I'm always interested. Especially when I'm in Philippines with my partner in Luzon and the black sand is magnetic and most detectors won't even ground balance they just overload.

[@DetectorMods]

They already sent me info wanting to get me to talk about it, but I have not used it.

[@Gary-yf3rj]

Can some one tell me what is this company that brought out this pulse detecter that only hears gold and silver please

[@DetectorMods]

There is a new detector from Canada.

[@Gary-yf3rj]

@@DetectorMods what is the company's name

[@DetectorMods]

I do not know, also look up Algo Force.

[@Mack9456]

Hello. Can a GP-3000 be modded to that level? Also, just a confirmation, 0.0025 grams correct?

[@DetectorMods]

Yes, any GP series can be fully modified exactly the same and yes the 0.0025 is that tiny pin head gold on the end of the plastic.

[@damianandrews844]

hey mate how much does it cost to get this mod done to a gp extreme

[@DetectorMods]

The one on the video is not all finished yet, we can do them in stages or the hamburger with the lot, when I have everything sorted out on the new stuff I will get Dave to put it up on detectormods.com

[@howardjesse9312]

Please can you up grade a tesoro lobo super traq for gold?

[@DetectorMods]

I have never looked inside one to see if anything can be done, a schematic is also handy.

[@howardjesse9312]

I found lots of schematics on the lobo when i did a search on the internet

[@ventura9513]

Gday mate,, just looking at your website,, why would you spend 10k for a 6000 when a good used gpx5000 is about 4 grand and to fully mod it is another 2 grand,, and it will hold its own against the big 2 ,, this is route i'll be taking,,,, youll see a box in the mail from me soon,,, will be in contact via your website , thx

[@DetectorMods]

Hi, metal detectors operate on basic fundamental principles, my path is to deal with and improve upon the core principles, not so much the trimmings.

[@darrenhapgood351]

Imagine looking for gold and see some guy with a mobile work bench and a generator in the bush

Also testing a microwave in a bush kitchen.
