[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 653205, member: 3960"] One problem with these detectors is that they are unreliable. I don't know how Minelab get on with the Lemon Laws in the US. My detector has always had a problem with crashing on startup, it brought back memories of Microsoft in years past. I sent them a short movie by email with an explaination of the problem and was advised to return the control panel when I got the chance. Merv left to go home about ten days before me. Right when he was driving out he came and met me leaving the patch. I had the GPX6000 dangling from my right hand and was heading back to camp. It wasn't the crashing on start-up that brought it to a close but the 11" mono coil died for the second time. I spent the next ten days swinging Merv's new 6000 and he delivered mine back to The Prospectors Pick in Bunbury. The one thing that Minelab do very well is honour warranty. With no argument they replaced the control panel with upper shaft and the 11" coil. No arguments or questions asked just immediate replacement and return. Thank you Minelab. I picked it up at the post office yesterday and of course had to test it... [ATTACH type="full" alt="today.jpg"]4637[/ATTACH] It works but there's been no improvement to the size of the nuggets....:confused: [/QUOTE]
