    Legend Users Feedback

    I do not own a Legend but the obvious question is, is the Legend ‘better than’ the Equinox 900 and/or Manticore.?

    Bone conduction headphones with APTX codec

    Thank you very much for that valuable information. I lost the headphones and cord for my GPX 6000 so I’m just looking for a replacement(s). This is an important question for me: If you or anyone knows, can you please tell me if the Minelab Manticore and Equinox have the “exact same” wired...

    What’s it worth (Minelab Musketeer Advantage)?

    *************************no joke, it’s very deep and very fast winging detector, put the 15” Coiltek DD on it and you can’t find a better “analog” metal detector. [Mod edit: Please refrain from criticism of other members when expressing your personal views]

    GPX6000 Faults/Issues

    ~Michael, glad I could help. I think all the “new” 6000 machines have had this external speaker audio bug corrected and the problem has already been fixed on any new purchases. On the older machines the problem was “not” noticeable while wearing headphones but the problem was only noticeable on...

    Weird ROCK - help needed

    grubstake Thank you very much for the extra effort to help me out, I appreciate that, which I read. That particular black rock was a loud signal on the GPX 6000 and a loud signal “again” on the X-Terra 70, so I do not think it was a ground balance problem. I think it was either a hot rock’ or’...

    Weird ROCK - help needed

    Sorry to interrupt, I bought a new GPX 6000 last year and only went out prospecting with it only ‘one time’ so far. On about a 6” to 8” inch sized ‘black rock’ I got a ‘very loud’ signal with my GPX 6000 and double-checked it with my X-Terra 70 which read >minus -8<. Yes I know it is NOT Gold...

    Replacement Ear Muff Pads GPX 6000, Equinox 800 & GPX4500/5000 Headphones

    davent, yes I saw that your stock Minelab bluetooth headphones outer cover was falling apart. From Nenad, did you purchase a whole new set of steel phase headphones “and/or” just purchased the steel phase headphone replacement pads only? ~I don’t know if these replacement pads would fit your...

    Minelab FT 16000 gold detector

    Stingray, good, glad I could help! Also maybe try a Q-Tip swab (with alcohol) stick for cleaning both the battery and coil contacts. ~There were 4 different Supersearch coils made for the FT & GT16000, 6”, 8”, 11”, and 12” elliptical. I have a good working Musketeer Advantage and a GT16000 that...

    GPX6000 Faults/Issues

    I do not want to write on the white label because it’s a barcode and information for the battery, I do not want to cover it up.

    1)Did you use ‘new’ batteries.? 2)Then clean all the battery contacts, and also clean both the ‘coil cable’ metal parts where it contacts with control housing and clean the control housing contacts too with an alcohol-based cleaner and paper towel. 3)Check for any metal stuck between your coil...

    GPX6000 Faults/Issues

    Thank you! I have clicked on and “bookmarked” your website link so I can look into it further for a white pen, even a gold coloured ink would work, any colour that shows up on the background of the batteries black colour. Look at my post above.

    GPX6000 Faults/Issues

    Thank you very much for the extra effort to help me out! I have recorded your information above and I’m going to look into it further. It will help me to mark (in white or another colour but not black) all five of my batteries from 1 to 5 so I can charge and rotate them efficiently in the...

    GPX6000 Faults/Issues

    “Thanks” both you and madmax800jw, I will then clean the electrical contacts on my batteries and on my machine with an alcohol type cleaner. One question, I am in Canada and I have a total of 5 batteries for my 6000, I see you mark your batteries with a white pen, I used a black felt pen on mine...
