Modded gpx settings
shepcal@sti.net:
Joeboy, curious if you got your 4500 modded yet and made your movie for setting up. I just got my modded 4500 back today.
hurahhhhhhhh! Now have to figure out how to set up and use proficiently. I am using a new NF 12” round mono EVO coil. I set up according to brief instructions on ‘Latest GPX Upgrades Aug 2016’ to the letter. Front new knob half way. Front is set mono, fixed, general and normal. Set the back to
Man tune 120
Very slow
Gain 5
Audio normal
Stabilizer 10 target
Volume 8
Response normal
I’m going to consider the 12”, medium size and am looking for medium size nuggets. SOOO- I want to set my manual frequency on the LCD at say 160 or 170? and then adjust the new knob on front to smooth out? Or do I adjust LCD gain up then new knob to fine tune smoothness? I guess what I’m asking is the order of adjustments.
I will try gain at 1 and stabilizer at 1
Thanks, Shep

Gday Shep, be good to hear how you go with your 45 and settings etc... my 45 hasn't been modded just yet. Unfortunately i haven't been back out, I've had to put a few things on hold for a while caring for a family member. Really looking forward to getting back out for a swing tho, don't think i can handle these withdrawals much longer getting the shakes and shit.
Hey just a quick question for ya about these new coils.
There was one thing i noticed up here in FNQ on really hot days my 14 elite really plays up big time. In the middle of the day i cant use it at all, and need to switch back to my older 14 mono than no problems at all! Just curious to hear if you've encountered any issues with heat swamping your evo coils at all?
Cheers Joe,
And good luck on your next trip.

Yesterday i went out to the Talbot test site to carry out some testing on the latest upgrade for the gpx and gp detectors. The new upgrades were tested with a NF 17 x 11 mono advantage coil. Matt from Ballarat was doing the testing. 0.014 gram could be detected at 6-7 inches in hot ground, this is outstanding as the standard 4500 cannot hear the target. We then tested the 3 oz slug in the 22 inch hole, the target was still detectable at 8 inches above the ground. The most noticable difference was the extra sensitivity and huge reduction in ground noise. We did all our testing in normal mode so the testing applies to any gp detector as well. I rarely make comment about coils but the evolution coil that we swapped for some tests was absolutely outstanding with the variable input gain on the upgraded detector, the 12 inch evolution coil , although a tad noisier was pulling the targets as good as the 17 x 11 but also could hear the 2 crushed aliminium cans in the bottom hole, this is around 1.5 meters deep.
The coiltek elite may be as good but i did not have one to test, if i do not have it i cannot test it. But the 12" evolution coil imho is a must have coil.
Joeboy:
Gees thats got me thinking.... alloy cans been picked up at 1.5 m, you'd think a big flat piece of gold of similar size would also be detected at that depth. Like that monster bit found recently by that very lucky chap!
What about the detech dd 15" ultimate spiral anyone got one on their fully modded gpx? One would think with a very quite machine maybe even sharp might be an option with the new 15 dd.
Anyways i'm gunna buy one because they seem to be very good coil even when compared to the new evo/elite mono colis, also to see if it handles real hot days better than 14 elite which hates hot weather to say the least.
