first gold with the gpx 6000

[leadnugget]

it was hard to pick which spot to go as we have fire closures going on right now.
got to the patch at 5am. this is a well know area, club claim, and it has been pounded by a lot of people using every detector you can name.
after a few minutes swinging it my first thoughts were where did all these targets come from.
i was getting used to the machine so it took about 2 hours to get on the first gold 1.1 grain. maybe an inch deep. next one .9 grain, nice signal.
was 2 inches deep in tight bedrock. the 2.4 was found by my hunting buddy with the gm1000. at 10am i was soaked in sweat and hot.
told my friend, take the 6 for a spin. he has been hunting less than a year and has never used a pi before.
5 minutes later he is calling me over. 3.4 grain at like 2 or 3 inches.
still learning this detector as i have less then 4 hours on it but, i really like it. light weight. just the right amount of sensitivity.
banging on the little bits with that 11 inch coil is amazing.
deepest target was a little bit of wire @ 13 inches.
one other thing. all the videos on this detector have it warbling really bad. i don't know if that is due to having the camera/phone
on next to it or emi or what but mine was not that bad.

i am very happy with the detector
going to run over some new ground tomorrow, maybe some bigger bits and less trash on fresh ground.

sounds like you're getting along pretty good with the 6? Emi is pretty bad in my area but comes and goes, running manual 1 for the most part and that seems to make the emi issue(s) tolerable and just something I'll learn to deal with. Even in manual 1 (lowest) the thing goes deep. High strung machine for sure!!!

quick 3 hour hunt as it is a bit warm.
i used the wireless headphones.
was using auto and auto+, Threshold off, it gets mentally tiresome picking targets out of the background noise.
auto+ was a bit chatty but was digging bird shot on bedrock. auto was quieter.
first nugget, 6 grains at 4 inches, unmistakable target. when i got it out of the hole it was screaming.
little one .6 grain sounded a little better than a bird shot at 1/2 inch.
i like the wireless phones but i can detect a slight lag that throws me off on target scoop recovery.
i brought the gold monster headphones thinking i would use them as they might not be as hot. they wont fit the plug hole.
next time ill bring the detachable auxiliary cable and try that.
im getting used to the 6 and i like it more each trip.
