love the honesty my guys. earned a sub. im so keen to get started thanks!
Mate I can't believe you said you "heard" the 5000 was rubbish haha. I still use the 5000 when I could choose any of those detectors you had. The reason most people don't use a 5000 is because they don't understand all the settings and they use the same settings 95% of people use which are average. Once you do understand all the settings and all your coil options they are the jack of all trades and you can set your options to do anything. I can find from tiny specks up to deep bigger nuggets and small gram or less nuggets at depths that amaze me. I use settings that I've never even seen anyone mention or use in any comparison tests which I am really surprised about. I won't be trading it in any time soon.
Thanks for the detailed review! Thanks for focusing on the ground noise issue. I’ve noticed it in a lot of other live demonstrations but haven’t heard enough honest talk about it. High mineralization is a good thing for seeking gold, but so challenging to get a stable threshold on the PI detectors.
Thanks Mark, glad you enjoyed it, if you ever have any questions or there is anything we can help you with please let us know.
A bigger coil.
Thanks for the review. Yep, sticking to the Z and 12” nugget finder coil!
Your welcome and sticking to the GPZ 7000 and the nugget finder is a solid choice :)
Thanks for the run down mate .Cant wait to have a go on one .I had a 7000 but for the life of me i couldnt get over how it felt while detecting even with a bungy . I used it for 2 years but sold it .It wasnt the weight as much as it was the feel of it ,felt rigid and i guess its a bit heavy.Went back to the 5000 because i can swing that all day long
Glad we could help! We wish you all the best in your metal detecting!
Spot on review my friend..excellent vid,,you know what your on about for sure,,,honest without the BS,,,cheers
Thanks 👍
Valuable info guys thanks
Nice review guys, well done 👍
I have a few Questions about the 6000…
1- Did you in the meantime manage to get the ground noise issue figured out?
2- Is there a firmware update already available and has Minelab addressed the ground noise problem?
3- Is there a way to make it quieter other then putting the DD coil on?
Iv got the sdc 2300 and the 7000. I love both detectors. But great video and and thanks for sharing. The 6000 looks so light.
Hi Jess, thanks for watching. Yes the 6000 is very light. Just checked out your channel and subscribed. you've got some great videos on there keep it up
@@CompleteProspecting Thanks for the comment and I appreciate that. I will have a video up soon. I really enjoy both the SDC 2300, and the GPZ 7000. And like you said they each have a purpose. I like your videos as well and love seeing Australian gold.
Thanks Jess for your kind words, I look forward to seeing your new video :)
I would like to see testing with the bigger Coiltek coils, on the SDC 2300 if possible, thanks.
Buenas noches amigo una pregunta en qué terreno es mejor el 7000 normal difícil ??
Hello 🖐🇹🇷
Was there a sound interruption with the Minelab wm 12 wireless sound module ???
How much gold do you reckon could be found per day using the 7000 in those gold mining districts in Africa where artisanal local miners work?
Hi ,so still what is the difference between 5000 and 6000 only weight battery and wireless headphones:? and the depth, noise, and sensitivity in the settings remain the same ?Or in addition to the above, something has become + 6000 if there is any plus please describe.How noisy is 5000 from 6000, or is 5000 quieter with ground running ?
Thank you for your comment! We'll test these two ones out more thoroughly next time!
Great review thank you, but fyi the sdc will fold up more compact than shown, the arm folds back on itself and the coil sits against the body... so really folds to about the size of the main body (very compact)
Which of the three detectors is best for gold nuggets?
Personally I'd use the double D coil and difficult setting on highly minerslised ground.
The 6000 is a godsend for anyone who has had an elbow or shoulder injury, is so light and well balanced.
Thanks for watching and that is a great insight, thanks for sharing
Good afternoon guys ... tell me on which site you can buy a decent gpz 7000 worthy not a copy from China ant not expensive for Kazakhstan.
for complete waterproof for sniping places deposits and looking for nuggets snorkeling around creeks, would you recommend the sdc2300, or would one of those handhelds or pinpointers be better or just fine, or is it much better to have something like a sdc2300 underwater and a pinpointer on the side? and for mostly land the 7000? think that might be what I decide on.
Sdc and 7000 or sdc and 5000 combo can't go wrong. Yes the sdc for creeks and bedrock around creeks and you can submerge whole machine. 6000 coils are waterproof so it would still do well but I'm not sure about submerging it. The sdc is a weapon if the right person is using it. 5000 great machine and lots of coil options. Never used a 7000 but I heard the 5000 can beat it in depth so there's that. Or a old 4500 are beasts on depth the aussie made ones, they are louder a lot more noise but will pull nuggety gold at wicked depths said to beat 5000 by small margin. Some people won't sell or trade the old 4500 for any detector. They didn't issue as many as the Malaysian made ones so they are rarer to come across nowadays
Hi, can you tell me where to buy the camouflage covers you have on the SDC 2300 and on the GPZ 7000 where did you purchase these at? Can you give some details on this please?
Very informative! I live in Alaska. Looking forward to finding those expensive rocks!! I will wait a couple years to afford the 7000. I hope the price comes down?? I'm a newbie, But I'm going all in. Buy one and be done!! Just hope that it pays off?
Subscribed due to unbiased honest report I've used all three and have the same opinion .the only thing you need with the 7000 is a big pick as digging deep holes can really take it out of you .if it's gold great but digging 3 foot deep for a nail is not fun .
Thanks for subscribing, great to have you as part of the community
Yes there is some digging involved with the GPZ 7000 - 3 foot deep for a nail, is not fun at all
Thank you Finally a Honest opinion
Thanks Joe, Glad you enjoyed the honesty. :)
There's two conflicting reviews from two separate people it contradicts itself.Nothing new here.
Thanks for your feedback - We agree that different people will have different options and preferences, which is why we have shared them here. We would love to hear your thoughts on how you have found the different detectors and what your personal preferences are?
Which is better for depth? gpx 6000 or gpx 5000
I am new to this field but to learn more about it. Can you do another video for a beginnest guide for how to operate the gpz 6000 or 7000?
Hi Kereng, thanks for the suggestion. we will add it to the list. Also if you have any questions or there is anything we can help you with you can just email - support@completeprospecting.com
@@CompleteProspectinghello I'm new in this field, I wanna know which gold detector is good between gpx 6000 and gpz 7000 for the beginners? I need your help please.
I think Minelab have done a great job with their marketing in regards to naming the machines. The 7000 came out 6 ish years ago and was named a 7000. Years later the 6000 came out to complete the sequancial order of that’s a word. So the 2000 through to now the 7000. What comes next is anyone’s guess! Is it a 9000 that will cost 15k for the tech?? Or is there some new tech that is better that a PI machine being developed? Time will tell I guess. But Minelab is a business and the longer a new machine takes to develop will mean it will be more expensive.

Did you try the ++ setting or similar where the threshold is muted
Hi Paul, great question. Yes we did try the ++ setting and also muted the threshold. I even tested a muted threshold over a small signal that turned out to be a small piece of gold. With the threshold muted it didnt pick up the signal. I feel you would miss small pieces if you turn the threshold to mute. Hope that answers your question
@@CompleteProspecting 100%
Great review on the 3 detectors but what about the poor old 5000 , we use the 5000 2300 and the 7000 and have found gold with all 3 detectors. I find these are all you need
Thanks for sharing! That would be a great video to shoot. :) Comparing the 5000 with the 6000.
@@CompleteProspecting and from al the videos I've watched, the 5000 would win.
I can pick up the tiniest gold with the sdc from cuts I do with the dozer. Will the 6000 get that same sized gold?
Ful o gold. Did you get the 6000 and how would you rate it against the sdc in terms of size and depth. Would you prefer a 6000 or an sdc and 5000 combo? With all coil sizes for the 5000 upto 19" ? I feel like the 6000 will get smaller gold deeper than the sdc but it won't do what the 5000 can do with the right settings and coil (depth wise) Plus the ground noise and amount of hot rocks the 6000 picks up seems insane. 🤔
@@Brandanmayhew I did get the 6000 and can honestly say it blows the sdc out of the water in depth and sensitivity. I went back over my patches and was picking up fine gold at greater depth. Its nice to know I can still pick up large nuggets at depth and get tiny gold at greater depth to. The sdc is a great machine and still has it place but the 6000 has greater performance. As to running a 5000 and sdc combo I can’t comment as I have never used a 5. But have heard in the hands of the right person is still a weapon.
so....how long have you two been detecting?
Couple of years in between the both of us hahaha!
Thank you for the honest video. I've been watching others and have noticed how noisy the 6000 is. I guess I will stick to my 4500 until I can afford a 7000.
Thanks Ed for your comment, Sounds like a plan the GPZ 7000 is an amazing machine 😀
I want to gpz 7000 detector..how to purchase
Think you could do an air test comparison with the three with maybe a 1 gram nugget or bigger? I would love to know how much deeper can the 7 really get
Hi Brian, yes an air test with the SDC 2300, the GPX 6000 and the GPZ 7000 is a great Idea Ill add it to the list of upcoming videos. Thanks for the suggestion 👏
@@CompleteProspecting Thank you. When you do the test don’t stop when the “deeper” detector beats the other, see how much further away it really can go. Even though this would not simulate real world situations it does provide information on sensitivity with the ground removed and in theory should provide a percentage of distance away from the coil. Meaning the Z could still be up to 40% deeper like on past GPX machines. If you could do that with a variety of nuggets that would be awesome but at least a 1 gram gold slug. If you got spongy gold and other varieties that would be interesting too! Oh don’t forget to mention the settings used.
Thanks Brian, really appreciate the tips. Will create this for sure
@@CompleteProspecting Awesome! I am really looking forward to it! This is really one of the last bits of information that I want to see before locking down a 6k purchase. Thank you!
Hello. Could you please give me the price of the 2300. You mentioned 6000 at $8000 and 7000 at $9500 but forgot the 2300. Thankyou
The factory wholesale margin on the GPX must be massive. Of course they would say you're paying for the technology.
Hi David, I couldn't agree more. Minelab certainly have a great business model
They are running a business and a business that their product is making money for the customer. They own the market because they get their products right so the customer pays a premium for that.
@@rgvshane that’s debatable. I had a Minelab detector that was 2 weeks out of warranty and than it played up. You think they would help me out and let it slip after I payed thousands for a detector from
Them? Nope 👎 had to wear the costs myself.
@@CompleteProspectingI wouldn't call it a great business model as the prices have gone up 1 thousand dollars per gold detector. The thing is, if they think they are going to sell more this annual than the previous 3 or 4, then they are kidding themselves. A price increase like that will only steer people away from buying one, they were already exextremely expensive, but now they're just taking the piss. When profits are down next year due to customer demand, they will have no option but to lower the prices back to last year's prices or else share holders will not be very happy.
The amount of second hand detectors available is crazy too. Especially in times like we are in, less people are buying things like expensive gold detectors. This was a horrible decision by minelab. Instead of ripping the customers off another 20% because of "inflation", they should just bite the bullet and not make as much profit per detector, but sell more of them which means more profit. I really think that this decision will bite them in the ass. And we all know that parts and materials did not rise by 20% for companies like minelab.
We're just in an environment now where greed is priority and seeing as every other big greedy corporation is getting away with it then minelab also think they can too.
I'd say 10% Max inflation. So the detectors maybe should have gone up 500 a piece. Even that sounds crazy. The sdc is 5 grand now. Ridiculous!!!! Seeing as the sdc is half the price of a 6000 (old prices) then shouldn't the sdc only go up around 500 with some basic maths. It seems like the ceo just said ok slap an extra grand on each detector without much thought😂
This was a very informative video thanks, I'm going to buy a gpz 7000, you want to do a video together?
Have all 3 detectors gpz7000 is brilliant found good good with it sdc 2300 is a gem the grand kids on one occasion found more gold than me and my brother for the day and have the time the coil was in the air over who’s turn it was next the 6000 well found some gold but you will need the patience of a god however very light have decided to sell it great vid confirmed my thoughts 😎👍
thanx guys...any hot tips on 2300??, no luck in two years
It's not the detector.Its the ground.Change the place and look for gold somewhere else.
@@gurchantsingh3949 So right
So I’m coming from a gpx 5000 so the 6000 would be pretty easily mastered in your opinion?
Yeah, a lot of similarities between the GPX 5000 and the GPX 6000. If you are coming from the GPX 5000 you would master it really easy. It’s more similar to the GPX 5000 than the GPZ 7000. Hope that helps

К сожалению я английский язык не понимаю.Подскажите мне пожалуйста все таки какой лучше?
You answered all my questions thank you very much
Glad to help :)
So if you’re looking for the small stuff, which would be the best detector? The area I will be detecting a lot of guys are using the Goldmonster 1000 to clean up the small stuff that the 7000 misses. Would the 2300 or 6000 be superior for that type of detecting?
The 2300 would be better for looking for the small stuff, Elijah!
Got excited, when i saw the title on the video "GPX 8000" lol
Hi! Leaders, Thank you for the information provided on these great detectors, your video is commented sincerely and with a very simple language, another advantage is that your Video can be automatically read in Spanish translation.

@@CompleteProspecting 👍👌🇩🇴⛏️💎💍
Great video mate, I liked the review and honesty ⛏️🤠🇦🇺
Thanks, glad to hear that you enjoyed it :)
@@CompleteProspecting I absolutely agree that it's a step above the 5000 but not as good as the 7. I have been told it's a SDC on steroids haha
Lol - yes a SDC 2300 can ping small nuggets at depth - but the SDC 2300 doesnt have the ground noise issue. I guess it's its a trade off between the two
@@CompleteProspecting absolutely mate, I'm saving my gold up to get either a 6000 or a 7 but I have a 4500 so I think I will be getting the 7, I'm really enjoying your content so keep them coming 🤠
Awesome well done, you will be glad you spent the little bit extra on the gpz 7000 it will be worth the wait. Glad that you are enjoying the content - And yes we have heaps more comming
Yep really honest opinions thx 4 sharing, the Mrs has the 6 and she is wrapped in it.
There’s a bit of playing around 4 sure but when she starts finding gold all is forgiven, she loves using the bigger coil as well. The 7 is still king 👑 no doubt but she is happy and that’s all that really matters hey. Thx again
Thanks for the kind words, great to hear that your Mrs enjoys the 6000, interesting that she loves the bigger coil. Out of interest does she use a bungie with the bigger coil? As I'm planning on taking my wife out and I'm interested to see if she needs a budgie or not...
@@CompleteProspecting yes she does because she has a permanent arm injury
Sorry to hear about the injury and appreciate you getting back to us. Great feedback thanks
18:05 "i never really used much of the 5000 but from what i hear it was rubbish" 🤣🤣 To anyone new to prospecting, please ignore this horrifically uneducated comment. A GPX5000 is still, and always will be, an insanely good metal detector which was the undisputed king of gold detectors for 5 years until the 7000 was released. The 6000 is very sensitive which is a great feature and it actually handles ground noise pretty damn well, IF you know what you're doing. Mono's on the GP Extreme / 3000, even the other GPX's taught a lot of us how to deal with that. Others just used the 6000 for more than a day until they learned how to drive it properly. It's an awesome machine which excels on smaller gold down to around the 8" mark. Of course it'll punch deeper for a bigger bit but that's it's sweet spot. The 7's specialty is bigger, deeper gold but i'll miss a lot of the sub gram stuff that the 6 will find. 5000's are a great compromise between the two and would be the best value for money out of all of the machines in this review. Take or leave my opinion but i've done this for a long time. Cheers.
So 7000 is best for gold bigger than a gram and deeper and hot soil?
7000 better for deeper bigger gold.
Dang I was lied to. Someone said PIs and the 6000 have no hot rocks or mineralized soil issues
I have a 5ooo it's not rubbish mate it's a good bit of gear
Thank you for your tell true god bless 🇺🇸✝️✝️
Anytime! Thanks for watching the video. 😀
Great video, but last half of video @21.20 saying that the GPX 5000 was rubbish…..yeah Nah. You obviously never used the GPX7000 when it first came out.
Terrible ground balance problems.
4500 and 5000 have better coil range, cheaper and will find almost every nugget the others will, just harder to use if you’re new to detecting.
Hey Otto, Thanks for the comment, really appreciate the honest feedback
Is my new GoldMonster 1000 just a toy?
As long as you can find the gold, its all good.
@@CompleteProspecting Only once they let me out of lockdown! Cheers!
The 5000 i got picked up 100 gold 3 weeks ago igoong to keep it keep your 6000 i
Até hoje não foi inventado um detector de metal que acha ouro talco
Actually mate, the 23 folds another time on it’s self, probably half that of the 6. You need to bang down the handle.
Only in the last year or 2 I’ve been folding the 7 from the lower shaft, it dangles a bit, but some double sided Velcro and it’s all good. It would fold about 100mm longer that the 6.
Thanks for the review but saying the GPX5000 is rubbish...WTF.
The first 15 minutes of the video was good, but any credibility from then on was lost on me.
Hi Deano, Thanks for watching. Again as mentioned in the video, Ben has never used a 5000 but had heard from most of the people we go out with that it was rubbish. We are assuming that you like the 5000? If so how do you think it compares to the 6000
I do find my 6000 noisy but the DD coil smooths it out, i got a 0.1 at 20cm on saturday, I think that was pretty good! I'd like it a bit less noisy but I was still finding a heap of targets I'd misses on a patch I had with my 5000
Great feedback on how you are finding the GPX 6000. Awesome to hear that you fond a piece at 20 cm with it, keep up the good work 😃
Remember this is all coming from a guy wearing a jeep shirt
Saying the gpx 5000 is rubbish are you serious?😂
Lol
I agree, the 5000 is a great gold finder and half the price of the 7000
This guy is a clown. What is with the salesman from minelab or wherever they're from all sounding like clowns? First off he says the Z is 9 and a half when it's really $9,800, so he's making it sound cheaper than it really is and then he goes on to say that the gpx 6000 can find gold smaller than the 2300 😂 hahahahahha. The 2300 finds 0.03 all day and possibly 0.2. Monster finds 0.02 gold.. you can't get any smaller than that so he's just talking trash. I'd love to see the 6000 find the match head 0.03 stuff I get with my sdc2300. It could potentially pick up 0.02 also but I havnt found anything that small in my few trips. I think the best thing to have is a 2300 + a 5 or 7000, that way you get the best of both worlds, sensitivity and depth. Also the 2300 is great for bedrock and using in creeks etc vs the 6000. Don't act like the 6000 is a way better machine overall when its not. They all have their specific uses and the 6000 to me seems like a sdc but not as sensitive, but not as deep as a 5000. I've hears 5000s go a lil deeper than a 6000 because they are more based for the smaller stuff but still have some depth to them. So yeah it's a great all round detector for small gold and has potential to pick up deeper medium/bigger gold, but it's not like it covers all machines. Having a 2300 and a 5000 or a 2300 and a 7000 would be better than having just a 6000 simply put. You would cover ground more effectively and find more gold but you would have to go over the area with two detectors. Just a bit of food for thought. So yeah it's probs better for like general purpose and stuff but it won't find gold as small as a 2300 or monster and it also won't find stuff as big as the z 7000 so it did fit in its slot yes but by no means has it taken over any detector. They're like fishing rods, they all have different uses
Sorry dont need a bungee for a 2300. Seems like you are trying to makes sales for the 6000. Its priced to high.
Now it's 9000. What a rip off
Al0ng
13:29 If you actually do use an sdc you would know it would fold down to half the size of the 6000
That's great information for others to know. :) Thank you for your comment. :)

The 5000 is rubbish???? I think a lot of people would disagree with you and would prefer it still over the 6000 today.
I agree with you , that not everyone is of the same opinion on that one. Certaily many people have already shared strong opinions on both sides of the discussion
The 9 inch gold hawk coil is nice on the 6000.
You lost me when you said the 5000 was rubbish. What an unbelievably ignorant statement
I know right 😂
What amazes me is why people are using Those big expensive machines in the WEST where the nuggets are extremely shallow. My $1000 gold monster would smash that ground all day. Would only use those pulse induction machines here in Victoria where you have a chance of large nuggets in deep ground. Don't waste your money if detecting in that desert ground in Western Australia.
Those tiny nuggets are made for the Gold Monster
To many words to much talk
