I have one coil that has been giving me fits. It is intermittent. I will try this trick and see if it runs quiet after I do. Thanks, Chip

Make the notch so it will only hear gold!

Great work Woody! The mods you did on my gpx 5000 are fantastic! I have surprised a friend of mine that runs the gpz. He threw a specimen on the ground that had some minute gold specks in it and ask if my detector could hear it. I swung the coil over the specimen and it sung out louder than his 7000 from higher up. He admitted it was louder with the 5000 M.

Just curios, what Is your favorite coil?
Mine is the nugget finder 14 X 9.

Let's see what everyone is using out there and what ones do the best.

Shep, congratulations! I know you will like the mods! I think the un modded 4500 will beat the 5000 but the mods will make them equal I think but they are both great machines no matter what. Looking forward to hooking up with you! Chip

A couple of days ago, after a long dry spell, I picked up two fly turds. The smallest, .05g, the sdc 2300 could not hear. The other, .11g was audible with the 2300. I
I'm using the 5k modded last November with full mods.
The settings I used are:
Front end gain = 8
Special = fine gold
Manual tune =200
Rx gain = 5
Audio = normal or boost
Motion = v slow
Stabilizer = 8
I am in central Arizona with a lot of hot rocks. Most of which the 5k ignored.
Coil = Nugget Finder, SADIE

Love the video! It shows there is some hope for me to go behind a 7000 and still find gold!

Hey Shep. Merry Christamas! With the detector in hand, it is pretty easy to figure out. Crank the new gain control to 8 to 10 on the dial, if it starts the get unstable, back the gain off a turn or two. As for the frequency control, if you are running a small coil working in shallow ground, run the frequency up in the higher numbers. If you are using a big coil for depth, run towards the lower numbers. It works pretty slick really and I am very pleased with the results. I haven't tried using a double d coil yet as I don't normally use them but in really hot ground one would probably work very good.

Took my newly modded 5000 out yesterday to try it out. It runs absolutely quiet! Very stable! Didn't find any gold but I just wanted to try different coils and settings and it just purrs!

Awesome! I can hardly wait to give it a try! Postal service to Australia is a little slow to say the least, but it will get to you no doubt. I have two friends here that have the gpz and they think they are going to eat my modded machine for breakfast! I sure want to prove them wrong after all the money they spent on them!

I will definitely look for the article! I'm sure it will be very interesting! Please let us all know what issue it is in so I can look for it. Being published in Oz might make it a bit hard to find here. Can you post a copy of it on you website by any chance? Thanks Woody!

I sent my 5k to you Friday afternoon but forgot to put my email address in the Side of the controll box but has all the rest of the info. Impressive results from what I have watched and read! Chip

I want to have you mod my 5k SOOO bad but just have to wait to convince my wife that I REALLY need it!
The reviews are astonishing as well as the you tube videos!
Keep up the great work Woody!
I hope to ship my detector to you soon.
