General Discussion / Similar coil for a GP or GPX
« on: March 05, 2018, 08:29:50 am »
  Since I’ve been hearing about how the coil is one of the biggest differences and advantages of the GPZ 7000 All the detectors give off a transmit signal and recieve a return response, I’m wondering could a similar coil be made that would give some advantage to the GP and GPX machines.

  Sure is quiet over here lately.  Must be out detecting and testing new mods.

  I going to find out about the 5000 here in a few months cause I’m planning on sending mine your way.  I’m wondering if a similar coil could be designed for the GPX series machines.

Impressive results.   Where does one purchase a detact coil from here in the US and how do those coils compare to Nugget Finder?
 Woody, the one thing I have noticed with the GPZ 7000 vs a stock GPX 5000 is its ability to find small gold at depth.  A friend of mine has found almost 2 ounces of gold with his 7000 to another friends 5000’s 2dwt.  All in the same amount of time.  All of it in small gold at depth that it takes 15 or so pieces to add up to 2 to 2.5 dwt per outing.  I agree with you to a point when it comes to wasting time finding small gold but when that’s all that exists in a given area you go with what’s there. 
 Will your lastests mods that I’m considering having you do on my 5000 going to improve the small gold at depth?
  Thanks Woody,

  I miss read your response, after reading some other posts on the forum, I think I understand that you actually can change the transmit frequency with your mods to both suit the ground and the depth for the size of gold much better than what is stock in these detectors.
  Thanks Woody.

That’s a good Magazine just to expensive to get it dilivered here in the US.  Maybe when I ship you my 5000 for mods you could throw some copies in the box for the return trip.
  So I take it that none of the adjustments on the 5000 have anything to do with the transmit signal?

  I’m curious about the different factory and modified settings and controls on the GPX 5000.  Which ones control and adjust the transmit frequency and which ones adjust and control the receive frequency.
Thanks Woody.

  Ok Woody I'm game.  I've got a gpx 5000 now, what would the mods consist of and what would the price U.S. be?

General Discussion / Frequency controls

  I have a question about how the tuning control on the GP and GPX detectors work in relation to the frequency control you install with your modifications like the mods you did on my GP3500.  Is the factory tuning control a frequency adjustment?  If it is does it control the transmit or receive frequency.
 Thanks Woody.

  Damn,  now I am going to have to send my 3500 back after just getting it back so I can get the newest mods done to it.

  Thanks, thats kinda my understanding of it.  I was wondering if Minelab changed frequencies with the on and off, "pulsing" of the detector.  I understand the detectors turn the signal off and on to avoid over saturating the ground with a magnetic field that causes the ground minerals to become energized and creating a response that the detector sees.  This gives me a little better handle on how your mods come into play.

Thanks.
Wes.

  Wondering what frequency's the series of Minelab detectors from the SD2100 up to the GPX5000 operate at.

  Well I finally got it back and re-packaged it and sent it back on the 6th.   Tracking shows it was delivered yesterday the 13th.  I hope its there.

  I got a hold of Australia post and they located it, kinda, and said it didn't get in their system until May 28, a month after customs said they were returning it.  They said it would take 2 to 3 months to show up.  We will see.
