    Minelab GPX5000 - So much more to learn

    There is so much more to learn about the 5k, eg.. From memory on a test I did, (in particular settings) a 0.3 gram bit at 10 inches I can make it sound like a 1 grammer at 3 inches just by switching from fine gold to sensitive extra with the 17x13, if I drew a responce/depth curve the responce...

    Coiltek coils suit SD2200D

    Sold the SD many moons ago when the ex traded me in, but I held on to my coil tech coils, 14” DD. 18” DD and small Mono elliptical. I now have a 6000 and was thinking Coiltech or NF for it. Would there be any interest in the coils if I put them in the classifieds or am I wasting my time?

    The SD2100 is a great machine used one for 10 years (standard, not modded) rarely used any coil other than the 18" mono. Somewhere on one of the forums I put up the tuning method that I mastered. (And it works) That machine talked to me, used it on ground that others said was impossible with a...
