Roo Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 6 wives??None of them were like this one were they.A guy is recently married and him and his wife go on a prospecting trip. The area they are going to is hard to get to so they hire a couple of donkeys to ride into the place.As they are travelling along a rough track the wife's donkey trips on a rock and she says "that's once".The husband looks at her quizzical but says nothing and they keep going.Her donkey again stumbles on a rock, "that's twice" she says.Husband thinks "huh!?"A few more miles and the donkey stumbles again, this time she says "right, that's three" dismounts and pulls out a handgun and unloads the clip into the donkey killing the poor thing there and then.The husband says "what one earth did you do that for to that poor donkey, it wasn't his fault the rocks were there?"The wife looks at the husband, one eye half closed and says "that's once".

pkirkll Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hey Guys, A lot of hype out there, but looks like this is another jump in Minelab technology. I can't say much either, even though I might know something. I'm excited to see it in person, but a bit scared to see the price tag due to what it might do. Hey Rob,IS Minelab still giving the 15% discount for us vets????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted February 15, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hey Paul, If you want one, I will give you a 15% Military Discount. Call me, but I will verify the details with Minelab Monday. I wouldn't see why this unit would be any different than any other besides the price ....

Reno Chris Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Maybe we can return this post to a discussion of the GPZ 7000. I was one of the product testers and I am finally free to talk about this thing, so feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer what I can. I can't really say anything about the price each as honestly I don't know anything more about it than you do, that's not what a field tester does. Field testers evaluate the product in the field.Both Steve Herschbach and I have blog posts about our experiences using the GPZ on Treasure Talk on the Minelab website.see the following links:http://www.minelab.com/treasure-talkAnd the official Minelab press release http://www.minelab.c...ledge-base/news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterguppy Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi Chris first thanks for posting, have lots of questions but ill go with just 2 for now. Reading the released manual on line its saying it has different responses / sounds for different metals? Did you notice any? 2nd is it really smooth in hot ground or will we have to play with sensitivity target volume some instead of using default auto setup settings.thanks Patrick S.

Reno Chris Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Reading the released manual on lineif you are talking about the manual that was released through the FCC, it is an older version of the manual and it contains mistakes. They took the manual for the CTX 3030 and adapted it for the GPZ. this makes sense because the two detectors have much in common such as the GPS, the wireless headphone unit and the operation of the menu selections. However, the technology within the detector is much different and some other things are a lot different too. Still using the CTX manual as a starting point for writing the new manual, some minor errors crept in. The sound of the GPZ on targets is very similar in many ways to that of the GPX 5000, although it is not exactly the same. It does not have a discrimination tone function like a VLF, and the high low/low high sound of the detector is not a reliable discriminator in the same way it is not reliable with a 5000. The break for high low and low high is a much smaller piece of gold than on the 5000.is it really smooth in hot groundno, you will need to fiddle with it to get the smoothest threshold. Although some people will complain that the threshold is warbly, I would rather have full control of my machine then have the manufacturer dumb it down to make the threshold quiet. That way when conditions allow you can increase the settings or turn them down if you need to depending on conditions rather than having the manufacturer turn it down for you in advance so that even when you could up the settings they have been turned down for you anyway. If you want to run at a maximum setting situation and have your threshold be a little bit warbly, this will be easy enough to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubelube Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 hi chris, Rob already posted price and release date. my question would be is the 7000 a better unit alone than the combination of a 5000 and sdc 2300 together?? when I say better I mean will it out perform the 5000 in its field and out perform the 2300 on smaller goldjohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
