i wrote some of info down after hearing it from a Aussie (mike) that he uses some system to rate metal detectors for profitability were the 7000 rated 8.9 the best ,,,gb 2 rated 6.9.... gb pro 6.7 and asked what the new 800 would score he told me it would probably score a 6.8......one big question i dont know how this all works i never been to aussie country i dont know the factors involved am guessing stock coils ....one thing i do know mike open to other brands now just minelab ......any thoughts on if this is possible ????? i ask him what the rating scale was all about he told me to just to put $ in front of the rating ......

i seen a survey by nevada steve that matches aussies mikes models ... i guess his system is correct not BS .....i gave it some thought it all about probability , type , coil size , freq , depth , nugget size , ground conditions etc ,,,,,maybe someone at minelab has a program they use to beat the competition,,,, terry is the 7000 ....20-40% improvement like it says in there ads i see u use one

my aussie friends tell me 2018 will be the year of the EQUINOX ,,,,,from coins to small gold i see a VLF that has a bright future .....i guess it will soon hurt minelab other vlf models sales and the competition and its waterproof to boot

talked to the gold bugs today .....they gave a thumbs down for the z19,,,,, they told me for a yank looking for yankee nuggets (the nuggets measured in grains not grams ) vfl machines like the 800 work best with a 6" coil ...they said yank companies are also good at making VLF machines,,,, they also told me yanks have bragging rights to sub grain nuggets on the internet ,,,,they mentioned whites tdi is a good value PI machine but the 7000 is light years ahead ....i guess minelab the company is to
