Hey krissy I got a 6000 about a month ago went back to a spot I pulled just shy of an ounce at with the 5000 , about the size of tennis court no more signals but with the 6000 another 5 very small bits & deep bird shot,as you know don’t matter how small they are they’re in the jar & add up nicely cheers & thanks for your effort in making your videos all the best
Krissy thanks for your tremendous efforts. I have a Garrett At Pro Gold that has been laying on the living room floor for 3 years! Your videos have pumped new life into me (I am 75 yoa!) So I am going to have another go at detecting!
You should run the 14" double d in the highest manual setting you can manage in hot areas with the 6000, you can still pick up 0.040g specs with that coil it's power is insane.
Thanks for taking the time to educate us Krissy and share the knowledge. And those flies....your determination to get the video. We have mosquitoes here like that. I stay indoors when so bad. As always wishing you all the best, Deb
Fantastic again Krissy, I took my 6000 out this morning and got a large bit of dozer blade a hot rock and huge thing that looked like it could be sweet potato even though they don't grow wild here, tomorrows another day, the 6000 doesn't miss anything, I can't believe there is still so much rubbish around in areas I know have had a 5000 and 7000 over them, have a good day.
I was hoping one day that you could try the 6000. Thank you for filming it and I look forward to more observations! Keep that net on! Gotta stay sane for us! Loved the video as always. Thank you…
Great vid krissy in my view the 6000 is a bit more noisier detector than than z, the 6 is more sensitive to the ground minerlisation but doesnt go as deep unless you throw on the bigger coil, on, if you are after the smaller stuff the 6 is the way to go ,its a good machine but i would be too fustrated trying to know whats ground noise and whats not,,lets be honest ground noise is a pain in the butt lol, but thats part of the game,,see you out there,,its only my opinion ,,,cheers enjoyyyyyy
Howdy from California, 23 pieces in a Spot hammered by 7000 last week. I have run 4000,4500, 5000, and SDC. I prospect in rugged country, the lighter machine is a dream to pack in and operate in brush with the Blue Tooth Headphones. It hears smaller bits at depth than any machine I have run. Did I mention dead simple set up and operation.
@@ciaranbyrne62 - It depends on your philosophy of use, if you are looking for big gold in wide open spaces and you like a workout - the cumbersome 7000 is your ride. If you are looking for gold in tight space, like simple, the 6000 can not be beat. Happy Trails
Excellent video. I always like the comparison videos. After having my Link Technologies modified GPX 5000 it’s hard for me to pull the plug on the 6000. Mostly because of the lack of iron discrimination with the 6000 and I can find those two little nuggets you found quite easily with my 5000.
Thanks for the comparison Krissy. I bought the 6000 recently because it is much lighter than my SDC and I like the wireless headphones. But I'm still waiting for the snow to melt so I can try it out!
Great video Krissy. It would be interesting to see the camparison using the standard 14" coil as Lucas mentioned in the comment below mine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Stay safe. :)
I have an older buddie who has been having trouble with his 5K & 2300 finding gold. Primarily due to his poor hearing, he's just not hearing the softer signals, although he picks up lots of rubbish because these are always invariably loud. He refuses to wear headphones & I couldn't convince him to try boost speakers. On our last trip he upgraded to the 6K & has had his most successful trip ever. My conclusion regarding the new purchase is that the 6K is louder on all targets & my colleague can now hear them. I can recommend this machine to any hard of hearing prospectors 😁😁
Very nice comparison. I enjoyed watching and listening to your understanding of the results. Thanks for sharing your experience. Best of luck on your next search for color😎👍💰
Great video as usual. I would love to see the same comparison using the 7000 to find the targets and see if the 6000 can hear them as a balanced comparison. You were the inspiration for me to get a NF 12 zsearch for my 7000.
Have you tried the Rosemary and Cedar wood fly repellent, I found it really good when I was working in the desert. Just put it on your face and ears they won't land on you and it smells nice!!!
Great video as usual Krissy and interesting comparing the two detectors in WA mineralisation. I’ve moved over to the 6000 recently and also really impressed with the detector. Lots have already mentioned the sensitivity to small gold but two other interesting things I have found with the 6000 is that it loves specimens as much as a VLF but gets them deeper. Also, out of all the PI’s I’ve used, it actually has the most noticeable variable tones on different type targets. After a while you can predict pretty well whether you have gold, lead shot or ferrous. Baz
Homemade fly repellent spray: A mixture of dish soap, water, baking soda, and vinegar can be filled into a spray bottle. The mixture should contain a few drops of dish soap and a tablespoon each of vinegar and baking soda per cup of water. A few sprays of this mixture can be an effective fly repellent. Flies can be easily repelled with white vinegar. I also like Murphy's Lemon Eucalyptus Repellant. I think that the flies see you as the water source in the area! I like the idea of the lighter unit, but I am so used to the sound of the 7000 that I just like it better...which is silly! Take care! Safe driving and I hope you find a place with less thirsty flies!
Hey Krissy You know how to run the 7000 to get the best out of it, it would be fantastic if you ran the 6000 for a solid month to get your knowledge up then compare the two I greatly respect your option and skill level, hopefully ML will contact you after reading this and provide you with the 6000! Keep up the good work and stop eating flies!
I remember those flys when I visited Australia, they can drive you crazy. Not as bad as what you had to deal with. Keep your fly net down and making great videos. Thanks
Krissy! New Duds? Looking Good!🥰 Looking forward to next week already! Your new clothes are a perfect fit, and you look smashing. Thanks for the good comparison on those detectors. They definitely have their own pros and cons. Thanks for sharing!
The flys are trying to carry you away or really have something to tell you! LOL. Use your fly net to save you the discomfort of those pest! You do well in your videos allowing us to see your face with the net down!
Use your net girl! Good grief...you don't want to eat flies for extra protein! Thank the gods they don't bite! In spring here in Newfoundland, the blackflies are just as thick and they cut off chunks!
Interesting video with both detectors so the 6000 is mainly for small stuff. Those bloody flies are insane , best you put that mesh on before you get out of your car before detecting. Maybe spray it with some repellant first both flies and mozzies are the worst . Small pieces are better than none at least you were not getting lots of junk but those hot rocks were also insane at least you could basically move them with your foot. Well have a great week Krissy and catch you on the next video 😁
No harness, no battery pack, and no cables or straps connecting you to it coupled with the ability to swing it all day and easily poke it into cracks and crevices or above your head in gullies is a great selling point of the 6000. However, I find it loves hot rocks a little too much.
Not sure how you feel about chemicals but even I would have to apply some DEET type repellent in that situation. Try "Bushmans". I'm presently trying to save up for a 2nd hand GPX 5000 to have a bit more of a chance at finding a speck or two in Vic. Personally if i want gold I just go and buy it. Much cheaper than buying ever elusive and expensive detectors and 4wds and camping gear. Anything else is just the thrill of the chase.
Maybe you could place some gold at certain depths and rebury it just to see if there is a reasonable chance of improved performance between the two after all any improvement would be a bonus. I must admit though I would find it hard to stick gold back in the ground . I do hope you get on some good gold soon. I get excited just watching your enthusiasm .
Love the lifestyle, I'm jealous....There's gold all over this earth but Australia has to be the ultimate destination. I'm in the USA, Midwest. Thanks for showing us the comparison, but realistically, most people can't afford a 6,000$ metal detector. Have you ever used Minelab's Equinox 800? A bit more affordable in the 1,000$ range. Probably not as good at picking up what we are all looking for, but as I said, a lot more affordable. Thanks again, Cheers
Iv been researching detectors this week so this helps a lot...I'm going to get a mid grade one and nothing like the caliber you use..lol where I live in ohio is right where the end of the glaciers were 10 or 12 thousand years ago and one of the few places in this state where gold has been found...a $50k nugget and one $896 thousand nugget within the last 12 years...so I guess I found my new hobby..lol. thanks for all the info
@@ciaranbyrne62 ..no bears around here...but there is a few Bigfoot sightings around close....lol..Belleville, ohio ...there was a gold mill here back in the day that was right on the river at the north end of town...the article says they shut down because they couldn't make enough profit ...but the GPOA and a few others have active claims and use them for recreational mining
That centipede said "stop following me". Made you jump didn't it, lol, I did! But then, I've been unfortunate enough to have been bitten by one that size. Ouch. Great video Krissy, looking forward to the next!
I love the 6000 for the sensitivity on the edge of the coil. I’ve found gold just with that, that I know I wouldn’t have picked up with the 7000. My favourite settings for the 6000 are: Difficult (normal just makes hotrocks scream) Manual sensitivity at about 2 or 3 notches from the top during warmer days and higher when they’re cool. Threshold on Volume set at about 2 bars. I also use the earbuds with it. I like the headphones but I just find them to hot. I live on the quick track button for ground balance (especially in variable ground) and noise cancel when it becomes ratty. Go to coil is the 11 inch but I’m looking forward to when the NF coils are out.
Thanks for the feedback and revealing your settings, Robert! Would love to try the 6000 a bit more to get a better understanding of its reaction on different targets in different ground types 👍🏻
@@OutbackGoldFever also for the flies, and JP uses it and sells it in his shop is the Nature’s Botanical insect repellant cream. Much better than aeroguard and it actually works.
@@kenmorrill3774 yes. It’s great for ground coverage and it is almost as sensitive as the 11in coil. I haven’t used it enough to know if there is a depth adavantage or not but I’m guessing there would be being a larger coil.
Where I'm from we don't call those tiny things nuggets,we call them all sorts of names like mosquito, sugar grain etc etc. half of an ounce and up we call nuggets 😂,and rarely have our women working detectors. So big up to this lady and the wonderful video,on three occasions I found nuggets that were solid nine (9) ounces with an minelad goldsearch . I think they don't make them anymore, and they replaced them with the monster 1000 would love to put my hands on a gpx 6000 or gpz 7000 and take back to where I'm from 🇬🇾🇬🇾
The six and seven thousand detectors are very good! But I would love to see how the Gold Monster 1000 compares to the other two. It is much closer to my price range.
I use the monster but the depth is lacking if I had to do over I’d keep saving for the 6000 it’s definitely the best machine out there right now with continued use it beats the 7000 and you get more gold
I have a 7k, 6k and gold monster, unfortunately the gold monster has to be "dumbed down" in the WA mineralisation so much plus being a VLF its only getting an inch or maby two depth. BUT If you find a good gold producing area, where the old timers have worked and way too much junk for the big boys try the gold monster to discriminate out ferrous and you may have luck. Still run in all metal mode but learn to use the detectors discrimination. I have found from 0.3g to 8g nuggets like this with the GM1000
Hi Krissy.. Awesome you shared your effort on the 7000 and 6000. The GPZ 7000 is definitely In it’s own league and it’s definitely the king 👑 of detectors in the world 🌎.. But unfortunately isn’t kind with people with bad back’s or shoulder issues.. Saying that.. the GPX 6000 is a SDC 2300 on steroids and is super light and even better to swing that the SDC2300.. If money 💴 isn’t a issue the two combinations of detectors are a awesome combination.. Unfortunately not one detector can possibly do everything..thats the same as golf clubs.. You didn’t say if you had it in difficult (wavy lines ) (Defult mode) or normal straight lines.. And if you had it in normal.straight lines which is the settings in the center of the screen.. you definitely will have picked up every hot rock out there..!! Probably the 14 inch DD on manual 4 from default setting and then on default would be a good starting point on very hot rock ground..and believe me it will still pick up sub gram nuggets.. unfortunately having the 14 one the 6000 dose becomes more heavier to swing…!! If you where to stay with the 11 inch standers coil I would start on default manual and difficult (the wavy lines) and if quite when swinging the coil … work your way up on the manual settings In that area. I doubt I would be using auto one or auto two with the threshold back on..I am providing a link to the GPX 6000 …. go to page 21 in the manual to see what and how to change the settings with the DD COIL especially with Electrical interference and if you won’t to detect on salty ground.. You definitely have to read it as most have probably never even read the manual as it doesn’t come with IT..!! Here is a link of the manual on the GPX 6000 www.minelab.com/__files/f/451932/4901-0386-2%20Inst%20Manual%20GPX%206000%20A4%20EN_web.pdf Well done and I hope you have a wonderful week.. I am posting a video clip today on my settings on the GPX 6000.. Those dam flys ..🥺 swallowing one or having one up the back of your nose 👃 is terrible 😞.. I look forward to seeing your next video next week.. Cheers from fellow UA-camr prospector Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the 6000, Famo!! I'm starting to understand why you like it so much and am keen to try it again in the future, maybe even with the DD coil 😁 Cheers!
Krissy... Re the Settings question from Fammo, which one where you on? I've got the 7000 & 5000 BUT with bad back (9 fusions) definitely interested in the 6000 weight IF it can handle hot rock Cheers & love your work😁😁
No shit ? - I got 9 ounces with a bent clothes hanger - gonna go back in a week or two and go over same area with a 2 clothes hangers in parallel - twice the power
I’d like to see a review between the 6000 and the SDC 2300 with a NF or Coiltek 12 or 14 in coil on it. I’m wondering if the 6000 is just a sdc2300 with a larger coil and added adjustments.
Hi I love your show I love watching you guys dig across the desert finding all that gold but to combat the flies try using the smoke from some incense. Let me help to deter the flies. Keep up the good work and hope for a 10-pounder. 😀🙏🎉🎆
Well done again Krissy spending a bit more time with the 6000 and get yourself familiar with it. Then you may achieve a better comparison but you have done so far still very good use it more than your 7000.
This kind of video is just what I'm needing because I'm trying to decide if to get a 6000. If I was a full time prospector like you in WA I would no doubt look at a 7000 how ever I'm just a hobbyist detectorist that does a once a year trip to WA from Victoria. Even though my last trip was a total stuff up a couple of months ago now but I'm still looking forward to my next trip over there. Maybe with a 6000 haha! I have to many hobby's and they all cost to much haha, shooting, fishing with a boat, prospecting and off roading! Maybe I should sell everything and get a cheap hobby like crochet. hahahaha! I know it takes time and effort to do videos but I hope you do a few more tests with the 6000 and 7000. I think many of your follower will be interested in see how the two machines compare. The good thing about you is after watching you for some time now you are very trustworthy in what you do and say compared to a lot of other youtubers. Until next time, stay safe out there!
Thank you so much, Wayne, I'm definitely keen on borrowing the 6000 again to do further testings and comparisons for which I'll give you guys my honest opinion, as usual 👍🏻
Thanks for another great video. The timing on your video is great as I'm heading over to WA in August with a 6000 so I'm keen to see how it goes. Does seem to like hotrocks. Was it in normal or difficult mode? Would love to see how the 14" DD coil goes too. I wonder if it might reduce the hot rocks. Thanks again!!
A few recommendations here to try the DD coil, would be worthwhile to do a test run with it next time I borrow the 6000 👍🏻 Enjoy your trip and good luck 🍀
To think that I complain when I just have a couple of fly's buzzing around my head, its a wonder you could see where you were walking. If you had both detectors in your kit full time, and you found a patch, would you grid off the area, clean up the larger nuggets with the 7000 then go over it again with the 6000, and are you thinking about getting one, maybe after your next gold rush, All the best, Cheers!
The question is which one do you like best. Both have advantages such as weight or if you can it on a different coil. Your production values are really improved. Great video. Good luck and good hunting. Thank you.
Hi Dennis, I'd be keen to do further testings in different ground types on different sized targets as well. Love the 7000 but the 6000 is growing on me, time will tell 👍🏻
Thanks for doing the video but I hope you do one on which products work best on keeping fly's away like Lavender oil or skin so soft the skin so soft works best when I use to go hunting for me anyway have a great week
Great videos. Thoroughly enjoy them but you swing too high. Skid plates are there for a reason. Also with the 6000, switch between normal and difficult will separate the hot rocks.
Awsome video, looks like your having a blast. I had a show down with my friend who has the 6000, he hit all the small gold at depth, but I hit a 2 pennyweight nugget at depth with my 7000 that the 6000 didn't hear. I'll still keep my 7000. Heavily considering to get the axiom to replace my sdc.
Thanks for sharing the difference between the two. Also we can see your face just fine with the fly net down. Looking forward to your next video.
OMG 😱 those flies would have drove me crazy. Thank you for showing the difference between the 6k and 7k detectors. Exciting to see you find some gold.
Oh yeah....The flies in the Australian outback are extremely friendly. They love saying hello. Fly repellant does not work.
Hey krissy I got a 6000 about a month ago went back to a spot I pulled just shy of an ounce at with the 5000 , about the size of tennis court no more signals but with the 6000 another 5 very small bits & deep bird shot,as you know don’t matter how small they are they’re in the jar & add up nicely cheers & thanks for your effort in making your videos all the best

You should run the 14" double d in the highest manual setting you can manage in hot areas with the 6000, you can still pick up 0.040g specs with that coil it's power is insane.
👍
I have posted more information to on your comment.
Cheers Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓
Ive found smaller than that with the 5000 on an 11' commander mono. 0.016 at 2in.
Thanks for taking the time to educate us Krissy and share the knowledge. And those flies....your determination to get the video. We have mosquitoes here like that. I stay indoors when so bad. As always wishing you all the best, Deb

Keep that net on! Gotta stay sane for us!

Footage wasn’t bad with your fly net down. Leave it down. Those flies are shocking.
I second that. All respect to anyone in Oz or elsewhere who can deal with the flies. I think I would go insane.
Another fine video Krissy, them flies were some super annoying flying pests, hope you don't have to eat as many next week! stay safe
thanks krissy... from Portugal, very nice watch your videos and learn a lot with them. OBRIGADO
OMGoodness! I don’t know how you tolerate all those flys! ugh that has to be discouraging! Hang in there Krissy and love your channel!

Keep up the good work and stop eating flies!
Thanks Bazz, would love to try the 6000 a bit more 👍🏻

I remember those flys when I visited Australia, they can drive you crazy. Not as bad as what you had to deal with. Keep your fly net down and making great videos. Thanks
That was great Krissy. Hehehe, those bloody flies. Unfortunately a fly net is the best answer. The fly spray is crap once you start to sweat...

You're so awesome Krissy and love your optimism and enthusiasm ⛏️😍
Again a very good video. I learn a lot from you Krissy.
Thanks very much.
OH how I don't miss the flies lol
That being said it's always good to be out on the ground hunting the yellow... keep up the great work K 👍
No harness, no battery pack, and no cables or straps connecting you to it coupled with the ability to swing it all day and easily poke it into cracks and crevices or above your head in gullies is a great selling point of the 6000.

Put the 14 inch double d on then hot rock problem solved

Iv been researching detectors this week so this helps a lot...I'm going to get a mid grade one and nothing like the caliber you use..lol where I live in ohio is right where the end of the glaciers were 10 or 12 thousand years ago and one of the few places in this state where gold has been found...a $50k nugget and one $896 thousand nugget within the last 12 years...so I guess I found my new hobby..lol. thanks for all the info
Where's that exactly feller? Are there bears there I'm afraid of them🙂
@@ciaranbyrne62 ..no bears around here...but there is a few Bigfoot sightings around close....lol..Belleville, ohio ...there was a gold mill here back in the day that was right on the river at the north end of town...the article says they shut down because they couldn't make enough profit ...but the GPOA and a few others have active claims and use them for recreational mining
@@rayh1614 I believe in Bigfoot but i am not scared if them. Cheers Ray
Great video krissy if they only had a detector that could find reefs wouldn't that be wonderful
That centipede said "stop following me". Made you jump didn't it, lol, I did! But then, I've been unfortunate enough to have been bitten by one that size. Ouch. Great video Krissy, looking forward to the next!
I heard they are very painful 😳
I love the 6000 for the sensitivity on the edge of the coil. I’ve found gold just with that, that I know I wouldn’t have picked up with the 7000.
My favourite settings for the 6000 are:
Difficult (normal just makes hotrocks scream)
Manual sensitivity at about 2 or 3 notches from the top during warmer days and higher when they’re cool.
Threshold on
Volume set at about 2 bars.
I also use the earbuds with it. I like the headphones but I just find them to hot. I live on the quick track button for ground balance (especially in variable ground) and noise cancel when it becomes ratty. Go to coil is the 11 inch but I’m looking forward to when the NF coils are out.
Thanks for the feedback and revealing your settings, Robert! Would love to try the 6000 a bit more to get a better understanding of its reaction on different targets in different ground types 👍🏻
@@OutbackGoldFever that’s ok, any time. It’s definitely a great machine.
@@OutbackGoldFever also for the flies, and JP uses it and sells it in his shop is the Nature’s Botanical insect repellant cream. Much better than aeroguard and it actually works.
Have you tried the 17" coil with the 6000? Wondering if it is advantageous for specific situations?
@@kenmorrill3774 yes. It’s great for ground coverage and it is almost as sensitive as the 11in coil. I haven’t used it enough to know if there is a depth adavantage or not but I’m guessing there would be being a larger coil.
I really needed this video !!
Where I'm from we don't call those tiny things nuggets,we call them all sorts of names like mosquito, sugar grain etc etc. half of an ounce and up we call nuggets 😂,and rarely have our women working detectors. So big up to this lady and the wonderful video,on three occasions I found nuggets that were solid nine (9) ounces with an minelad goldsearch . I think they don't make them anymore, and they replaced them with the monster 1000 would love to put my hands on a gpx 6000 or gpz 7000 and take back to where I'm from 🇬🇾🇬🇾
Hello Krissy! Hope your having a blessed day!!!!!!!!
Just in time cool here I can stay inside a bit longer & watch you lol
Awesome a watch. Probably has a couple of jewels in it.
The six and seven thousand detectors are very good! But I would love to see how the Gold Monster 1000 compares to the other two. It is much closer to my
price range.
Unfortunately I can't tell you much about the monster, haven't used it yet but when I get the chance to borrow one, I could do a comparison video 👍🏻
I use the monster but the depth is lacking if I had to do over I’d keep saving for the 6000 it’s definitely the best machine out there right now with continued use it beats the 7000 and you get more gold
How much in Zambian kwacha
I have a 7k, 6k and gold monster, unfortunately the gold monster has to be "dumbed down" in the WA mineralisation so much plus being a VLF its only getting an inch or maby two depth.
BUT
If you find a good gold producing area, where the old timers have worked and way too much junk for the big boys try the gold monster to discriminate out ferrous and you may have luck. Still run in all metal mode but learn to use the detectors discrimination.
I have found from 0.3g to 8g nuggets like this with the GM1000
@@aussieoutdoorprospecting Great advice, that helps a lot! Thanks
Hi Krissy..
Awesome you shared your effort on the 7000 and 6000.
The GPZ 7000 is definitely In it’s own league and it’s definitely the king 👑 of detectors in the world 🌎..
But unfortunately isn’t kind with people with bad back’s or shoulder issues..
Saying that.. the GPX 6000 is a SDC 2300 on steroids and is super light and even better to swing that the SDC2300..
If money 💴 isn’t a issue the two combinations of detectors are a awesome combination..
Unfortunately not one detector can possibly do everything..thats the same as golf clubs..
You didn’t say if you had it in difficult (wavy lines ) (Defult mode) or normal straight lines..
And if you had it in normal.straight lines which is the settings in the center of the screen.. you definitely will have picked up every hot rock out there..!!
Probably the 14 inch DD on manual 4 from default setting and then on default would be a good starting point on very hot rock ground..and believe me it will still pick up sub gram nuggets.. unfortunately having the 14 one the 6000 dose becomes more heavier to swing…!! If you where to stay with the 11 inch standers coil I would start on default manual and difficult (the wavy lines) and if quite when swinging the coil … work your way up on the manual settings In that area.
I doubt I would be using auto one or auto two with the threshold back on..I am providing a link to the GPX 6000 …. go to page 21 in the manual to see what and how to change the settings with the DD COIL especially with Electrical interference and if you won’t to detect on salty ground.. You definitely have to read it as most have probably never even read the manual as it doesn’t come with IT..!!
Here is a link of the manual on the GPX 6000

Well done and I hope you have a wonderful week..
I am posting a video clip today on my settings on the GPX 6000..
Those dam flys ..🥺 swallowing one or having one up the back of your nose 👃 is terrible 😞..
I look forward to seeing your next video next week..
Cheers from fellow UA-camr prospector Famo59 👍🍻⛏🤓
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the 6000, Famo!!
I'm starting to understand why you like it so much and am keen to try it again in the future, maybe even with the DD coil 😁 Cheers!
@@OutbackGoldFever
You definitely are welcome..
Stay safe.👍
Krissy... Re the Settings question from Fammo, which one where you on?
I've got the 7000 & 5000 BUT with bad back (9 fusions) definitely interested in the 6000 weight IF it can handle hot rock
Cheers & love your work😁😁
Thank you very much so delightful and informative
It's to bad that watch wasn't a Rolex. It's still a cool find. Best wishes and good luck with your prospecting from your mates in Tennessee, USA.
already got 7 ounces with my 6000, absolute beast and have tested against 2300 and 7000, no comparison for small gold
No shit ? - I got 9 ounces with a bent clothes hanger - gonna go back in a week or two and go over same area with a 2 clothes hangers in parallel - twice the power
Does the 6000 find gold smaller than the SDC?
Good info! "Watch" out for those flies! Lol!
Nice comparison 👏
I’d like to see a review between the 6000 and the SDC 2300 with a NF or Coiltek 12 or 14 in coil on it. I’m wondering if the 6000 is just a sdc2300 with a larger coil and added adjustments.
Hi I love your show I love watching you guys dig across the desert finding all that gold but to combat the flies try using the smoke from some incense. Let me help to deter the flies. Keep up the good work and hope for a 10-pounder. 😀🙏🎉🎆
Well done again Krissy spending a bit more time with the 6000 and get yourself familiar with it. Then you may achieve a better comparison but you have done so far still very good use it more than your 7000.
Would love to spend some more time on the 6000 and try different scenarios to compare it to the 7000 👍🏻
Those minelab signals sound so nerve wrecking and old fashioned to me. Would love to see a test of Garrett-AT-Pro or XP-Deus-II in the Outback.
This kind of video is just what I'm needing because I'm trying to decide if to get a 6000. If I was a full time prospector like you in WA I would no doubt look at a 7000 how ever I'm just a hobbyist detectorist that does a once a year trip to WA from Victoria. Even though my last trip was a total stuff up a couple of months ago now but I'm still looking forward to my next trip over there. Maybe with a 6000 haha! I have to many hobby's and they all cost to much haha, shooting, fishing with a boat, prospecting and off roading! Maybe I should sell everything and get a cheap hobby like crochet. hahahaha!
I know it takes time and effort to do videos but I hope you do a few more tests with the 6000 and 7000. I think many of your follower will be interested in see how the two machines compare. The good thing about you is after watching you for some time now you are very trustworthy in what you do and say compared to a lot of other youtubers.
Until next time, stay safe out there!
Thank you so much, Wayne, I'm definitely keen on borrowing the 6000 again to do further testings and comparisons for which I'll give you guys my honest opinion, as usual 👍🏻
Thanks for another great video. The timing on your video is great as I'm heading over to WA in August with a 6000 so I'm keen to see how it goes. Does seem to like hotrocks. Was it in normal or difficult mode? Would love to see how the 14" DD coil goes too. I wonder if it might reduce the hot rocks. Thanks again!!
A few recommendations here to try the DD coil, would be worthwhile to do a test run with it next time I borrow the 6000 👍🏻
Enjoy your trip and good luck 🍀
Really good video. 👍
Great video. The 6000 is a great Machine. 👍🍻
To think that I complain when I just have a couple of fly's buzzing around my head, its a wonder you could see where you were walking. If you had both detectors in your kit full time, and you found a patch, would you grid off the area, clean up the larger nuggets with the 7000 then go over it again with the 6000, and are you thinking about getting one, maybe after your next gold rush, All the best, Cheers!
Enjoyed the video
The question is which one do you like best. Both have advantages such as weight or if you can it on a different coil. Your production values are really improved. Great video. Good luck and good hunting. Thank you.
Hi Dennis, I'd be keen to do further testings in different ground types on different sized targets as well. Love the 7000 but the 6000 is growing on me, time will tell 👍🏻
Wonderful! I like your adventure llfe
Must be great place, all those flies can't be wrong.
Thanks for doing the video but I hope you do one on which products work best on keeping fly's away like Lavender oil or skin so soft the skin so soft works best when I use to go hunting for me anyway have a great week
No sprays or creams seem to work, the net is still the best option but it gets hot underneath and restricts my vision. Can't have it all 😁
I'll stick to the 4500 with a coiltec elite 17"epaleptical,best all round combination on the market.
Oh no the flies, they drive me crazy as well. Stay safe and happy gold hunting.
The flies have been shockingly thick! By the way, mail to you went out on friday 👍🏻
Great videos. Thoroughly enjoy them but you swing too high. Skid plates are there for a reason. Also with the 6000, switch between normal and difficult will separate the hot rocks.
At £5,700 it needs to be good cause it will take a long time to recoup your money. Other than that more comparisons please and good work krissy.
Awesome job
Nice work
Love the video hate the fly’s stay safe Krissy
Awsome video, looks like your having a blast. I had a show down with my friend who has the 6000, he hit all the small gold at depth, but I hit a 2 pennyweight nugget at depth with my 7000 that the 6000 didn't hear. I'll still keep my 7000. Heavily considering to get the axiom to replace my sdc.
Is it good for the Roman Golden Currencies
Great video
I'm curious how many will shoot for the best of both worlds and attempt acquiring the Minelab GPY 6500?!
carry a can of fly spray bunch them up give them heaps eventually it must make a difference.
True survivor with those flies 🪰
What is your settings On the 7000? Sensitivity, threshold, audio smooth on or off? Thanks. Great video
The ground out here is that noisy that I can't run the 7000 in normal. It's difficult with a sensitivity of 18 or lower, smoothings off.
looks like u might get the 6000 to use in the future :)
Krissy,
we all love that beautiful smile, but I think we can tolorate you talking through your fly barrier when they are that bad!
What would you buy? 6000 or 7000 first detector
The 6000: it’s lighter and easier to set up ⛏️
I want that wrist watch !!
Your such a badass! I wonder 💭 is there an essential oil that might help combat those flies? Keep on prospecting 😎
Maybe try some corks on the hat mate. They are a bother aren't they!
Thank you somuch for your nice video about 2 metal detector. I apprecait for that.can i ask you about the price howmuch each of it. Thank you.
Hi Gilbert, check the description for further infos on the detectors 👍🏻
Always hit that like button. One you don't have to remind. Nice comparison.
You need a cork hat. Gd to see you got your protein today lol. Bloody flies.
