Will definitely give those settings a try when I get it back, thank you for sharing. That isn't my typical detecting though so will still be going back to Minelab for my everyday detector. Probably the 70000 again. My wife runs auto on her 6000 and does have similar issues when it is really wet...

We do it every trip, just don't film it. I hear maybe 1 in 20 of her targets. And that's mainly because I know it's there and rub the coil harder. The Axiom is terrible. Poor sensitivity, which I filmed and sent to Garrett with the machine once. They said "no fault found" even though the 6000...

That is exactly what I feel too. Everyone tries to tell me its just faulty or you have it running to hot. Truth is, it was made by a USA company for USA gold and USA conditions. How many successful PI machines have Garrett had? Minelab live and breath Australian gold.....enough said.

Hope you got your 6000 sorted out. There are some shielding mods that reduce the EMI significantly. Similar to the GPZ 7000 shielding mods - see Detectormods for further information. "When" my Axiom is working, it fairs a little better than the 600 on EMI but the 6000 kills it in finding heaps...

I still don't think it's ready! Endless issues with mine....it's currently back at Garrett......again!

You DEFINITELY made the right choice. I've had the Axiom for over half a year and nothing but trouble - very little gold. My wife has the GPX 6000 and is killing it. She never comes home empty handed, but I do most trips now.

Do yourself a favor and steer clear of the Garrett Axiom. Especially if you have mineralised grounds. I have had one coil replaced and sent the whole unit back twice now. The ground balance is terrible, the mono is noisy - was definitely NOT made for Australian conditions. I run tests with the...

Still no love from Detech on the Axiom coils, fortunately x-coils have made a start and I hear are getting plenty of interest....first batch better be a big one!

Correct, 8 inch DOD x-coil for the Axiom currently in testing phase. "Apparently" more to come from x-coils and I heard Detech..

If you are not going to read it completely, why comment????? I am asking for "peoples thoughts" - not looking to make this into a slinging match. While raking and gridding are different - there was also no effort to return the areas to their original state - but I wasn't intending on...

Spot on, this is one place currently coping it with a high percentage of the area freshly hit. We have tested some of the areas there, again - I think we got 2 lead shot for our efforts. Can say we've seen it at Inglewood, Whipstock, all over Maryborough, Amherst, Daisy Hill, Dunach, Bung...

They are some intelligent and inspiring words, thank you :perfect: We have noticed, though there was much ground covered, there seemed to be very little holes/scrapings in "most" areas. So labor v reward ??? We just go prospecting for fun, twice a week, and enjoy the fauna and flora - gold is...

Just wondering if people are encountering this on the VIC goldfields? - especially post lockdowns. What are your thoughts? In the last few months I've noticed a HUGE increase in gridding of our goldfields - (where entire areas have had logs and branches laid out to section off areas, a bit...

I know own 3 X-coils, and have never looked back!!! Fricken amazing :Y:

Had some correspondence in the past with him. He doesn't like to jump the gun and prefers to have the right information before progressing on a design. He said at the moment his concentrating on production of the 12 inch coils. He has no immediate intention of releasing another coil, but is...

Same old Minelab....all speculation, it's like they get pleasure out of watching us suffer with rumors and lack of firm information. They do make GREAT detectors though :lol:

That's a great coil, but low and slow becomes even more important. We have a NF 12, lighter than the original 14!

Yep, coil and battery do make a difference. Be nice to shed some more though. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have health issues :( :gemstone:

Just wondering if any geniuses have worked out how to lighten the core unit of the GPZ. I'm not talking change a coil or a lighter battery, but real world experimentation and inventiveness. I've seen an SDC put inside some PVC pipe, and a few other adaptations of detectors - but has anyone had...

We have been getting eaten alive lately. Heaps of the buggers. Even swarming so loud I have had to turn my zed up!
