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

    Does a Bigger Coil Mean Quicker Battery Drain?

    Deano Your info has has made me more positive about my detecting which is important. Having the right equipment is important but some bad habits had snuck into my detecting technique which I am now aware of as well. Cheers

    Does a Bigger Coil Mean Quicker Battery Drain?

    Thanks for your reply. I like your idea of rotating batteries. Definitely getting a backup battery to start. After some research I think the NF Xceed 12x7 is the best option for my needs. The 10×5 Goldhawk is too small for general use and the NF Xceed 12x7 has a better reputation. It should...

    Does a Bigger Coil Mean Quicker Battery Drain?

    Thanks for the great info Deano. Wondering why you have 4 back-up batteries? I have been thinking about a Coiltek Goldhawk 10x5 mono coil in the absence of an 11" DD or smaller DD being available for the GPX 6000. Limited choice. I have detected the same area multiple times with success using...

    Does a Bigger Coil Mean Quicker Battery Drain?

    The 6000 seems to work better earlier in the day on a freshly charged battery with the 11" mono. Later in the day it can struggle and becomes unstable. Could be EMI, ground temp or detector temp I guess overloading it. A backup battery might give me some answers. I am also going to give the 14"...

    Does a Bigger Coil Mean Quicker Battery Drain?

    Thanks, that's good. I have only used the 11 mono to date and thought a backup battery maybe necessary.

    I guess that means same power usage. Thanks

    Does a Bigger Coil Mean Quicker Battery Drain?

    Detector GPX 6000. Would swapping from the GPX 11 mono coil to the GPX 14 DD coil consume more power over any given time period. Does the type of coil also make a difference? Thanks Andrew

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

    Has anyone replaced the muffs on a GPX 6000 or Equinox 800 set of headphones? Mine are losing their black coating but the headphones still work fine. Are the headphones made by Minelab or are they a re-brand? Thanks Andrew

    You were close with MCA. Like me it is obvious when someone points it out. Cheers

    What is this? What letters do you see?

    I think you are right DD. So much YMCA stuff on the web going back as far the 1870's and beyond. Can't find anything similar but they handed out all kinds of medallions/pendants for lots of sports and other things. Cleaning it up in de-mineralised water and it seems that the original colour may...
