As good as the GPX6000 is it does have some issues, one of them is the ghost ground noise signals you can get from time to time. This is not to say we don't like the machine any less, it is just one of the differences one needs to get used to with a new machine.

Every detector I've ever owned (6) has done that at different times. Don't worry about it.

@sc0tt500 2 года назад

Wow! That really sounded like a target. I've had 2 scenarios where a clear target vanishes like that. A magnet on the end of the pick grabs the bit of iron after its dug out, or a very small thin bit of iron/gold that the detector hits when the target is flat in the ground but after its dug out its on its side so the detector doesn't hear it. Usually comes back after pushing the pile around for a while. I've found the 6000 does seem to like wet clay and tree roots. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Scott 👍👍

Always a blast coming by fam. Better luck on the next hunt fam. Keep at it. Gold squad out!!!

Cheers guys, how you guys going in the creeks?

@mattlegerton4908 2 года назад

I've had tiny targets get lost in the dig pile that I've found again by spreading it out again. I haven't had issues with charcoal and we've had lots of fires recently. I do find it susceptible to ground noise but if you go real slow over the ground it will not flip between high and low...but a real target will.

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Yeah it does seem to be better with the charcoal than the Z but the 11 inch mono struggles for us in wet mineralised ground. We keep on learning all the same 👍👍

@thegoldnuggiebuster5185 2 года назад

I have literally found 100s but need to flatten the pile ,its the way geo sense reads the ground that gives you the target in the first instant

@steveothepainterreeding9126 2 года назад

The SDC chases ghosts like that. you can feel 100% confident and then you are back filling.

@slicenstab 2 года назад

I had the exact same issues last week in Warwick with the 17” coil 🤦🏽‍♂️. It was easily fixed by doing a ground balance more regularly, it also kept the machine running sweet so I was able to increase the sensitivity.

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Hi Mate, you have the 17 hey? How are you going with it? 👍👍

@timbcf 2 года назад

The 5000 will do that now and then Smokey , my heart sinks as soon as i see a concentration of red, charcoal is usually a high low. Normally 3 plus grammers give a low high, and bullets lol

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Yeah mate, I heard it is an X series trait. When we heard the low high we were definitely thinking a nice Nugg 👍👍

@DetectorMods Год назад

If the detector is using too much gain it can give rise to false signals, try to ground balance on the target to see if it is metal or not.

@FRERABRETZ1 2 года назад

part 2 where the z fails against the 6000, two friends just came back from cue area, 7 weeks total detecting time, z total was 5 1/2 oz, 6000 total was 16 oz.

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Wow, big results 👍👍

@robertbanks8076 2 года назад

Maybe a thin piece of tin that was flat and the when it came out, it was on its side. Avery small piece. I have spent a lot of time chasing a phantom noise only to find as I refill the hole, Checked again and found a dit of tin or wire on the top of the ground

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Hi Rob, a small target is never a low/high signal in my experience so that would count out something small and this is why we put it down to ground noise. 👍👍

@mattellis4270 2 года назад

Should've hit the pile with the Goldmonster to be sure.

@samroberts8365 2 года назад

We spoke about this to Donny last week. He reckons always best to dig abit deeper and check the hole again.

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Hi Sam, really, that’s interesting 👍👍

@MrGef12 10 месяцев назад

I GB'd more often . .. even before i start digging... and i use manual settings rather than the auto 1 and 2 .. .. sorry about the faulsey ..

@freedomandjustice8778 Год назад

Which one of the two detectors is the best for Gold Nuggets ??

@xylosfurniture Год назад

I had the same issue with the gpz7000...

@Trinette75 2 года назад

Woah crazy

@ozyprospector 2 года назад

You should have moved 90° around the hole then seen how loud the response was before you dug too deep. Nothing wrong with the 6000 earlier detectors have done this

@Calgold49 Год назад

No way ground noise. You have a magnet on your pick end?

@raizosgoldandtravel 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing. Smokey, Is it possible to get the details of your mate’s snake gaiters?

@mattellis4270 2 года назад

Yeah, I'm interested too.

Hi guys, here is the link where we got our gaiters 👍👍

@@SmokeyProspecting thanks mate! Aside from snake gaiters I love Double Ds as well, That’s right!

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

You’re welcome brother 👍👍

@lukemckay3262 2 года назад

Had to be a target??? I’ve had that happen with tiny gold on the 7000 and have had to methodically work the pile in different directions and then switch to normal, semi auto… rebalance and look again at full roar until finding the little bugger. Almost always tipped to a less reflective angle when dislodged. They’re almost always tiny little flat triangular suckers??? I take it as a point of honour to find the sneaky little beggars lol.

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Yeah it’s hard to believe it disappeared but it wasn’t meant to be this day.

@topdeckdog Год назад

I know the 6 is auto tracking, but (sorry to say) i think your 'ground balancing' was the true fail here! Your pumping is way too fast and for too short an amount of time also. All you were essentially doing was knocking it OUT of balance by doing that AND you never balanced on top of the supposed target, in the hole. In SD + DD coil days we learned to try and get rid of suspect signals (red clay) and if we couldn't, then we dug. This is something that I see so many people overlook these days because it doesn't happen as often with modern machines.

@Doc314 11 месяцев назад

100% correct. Taking less out of the target hole each time avoids lost targets also. Sometimes a small clump of flour gold can give a target but when dispersed it vanishes. I can remember it happening to me once a few times in an area in Whipstick. I classified and bagged it up and took home, I have a clean up sluice running in my garage and to my amazement there was heaps of flour gold that even a monster would struggle with We all live and learn. I always do this now and have bags of hopefully pay dirt to process in those winter months when I cant get out there. If its the weakest of targets in the scoop and I cant see anything initially, I'll bag it and take it home. Us oldies get more because we are low and slow.

@kerrykey3958 Год назад

Why compare two entirely different detectors,

@alanhughes1262 2 года назад

Try and ground balance out the target if it balances out its ground noise that's the case with my 4500 .

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Thanks Alan, will try that out. 👍👍

@RandyLunn 2 года назад

Did you check the magnet on the pick?

@SmokeyProspecting 2 года назад

Hi Randy, no mate because a low/high signal is a bigger target response so it should have easily been heard once we dug it out. We both put it down to ground noise.

@robbie8142 2 года назад

Oooo! Just when I thought it was safe to walk outside again, BLAM! The little gold nugget fairies are at it again. Hmm! Now what are we gunna do? 🇭🇲🥴🤗
