General Discussion / GPX 6000 VS Modded 5000

« Last post by WesHawkins on November 15, 2021, 12:34:53 pm »

   I’m wondering what the consensus is on a Modded 5000 vs the GPX 6000.  I’m wondering if the fine gold setting on the 5000 with the front gain turned up along with the frequency adjusted to a higher frequency would produce some of the same results I’m seeing from the GPX 6000 with it ability on smaller somewhat deeper gold.  Any thoughts??

   Peter, hope you have been getting out more with this Covid going around. I’ve started to get more, make more, time to get out swing the coil.  The more I use my modded 500 the more I’m liking it.

Great to hear Wes. I have been interested in the Detech models so might look into getting a coil from them.

I unfortunately haven't been out for quite some time. We have been impacted by Covid in the Territory and my load work has significantly increased over the last two years.

Hi Wes, been a long time since I've been on here so hopefully your still out there. How did you go with the DD Coil on your modded 5000 in regard to the front end gain?

  Hi Peter,  ya I’m still here, just so busy working on cars in my shop that when I come in for the night I find myself just to tired to get in online. I have actually been getting out a little more in the past few months.  I use the Detech 15 DD and the stock Minelab 11 DD in trashy areas.  I do turn up the front gain a bit.  I turn it  up until the detector starts to get a little unstable then down just enough to smooth it out.  The factory gain I keep around a 4 or 5.

I've had Woody's mods on my 4500 for 8+years.Wish I could have gotten out more, but it was what it was. just retired; body is junk but going to try to get out more often. That being said, I have found abit of gold with my modded 4500. Could it all have been found with an unmodded 4500? Maybe. We have done some pretty clear tests that prove the modded detectors 3500,4500 and 5000 will pick up a .5 gram nugget at 16", whereas a stock won't in the same circumstances. Wish I would have had this detector 20 years ago.

I have around 3 or 4 designs on the go, sometimes they take 6 months to design and test, always a little bit different. There is also the new detector in the pipeline as well.
