Hi Guys. Took my new NF Exceed coil on the GPX 6000 for a spin yesterday. Going over the same ground as my finds of last Sunday with the ML 11" coil. Managed three tiny little bits. None very deep & almost Gold Monster size tiddlers.
This one I thought was another small pellet, which I got more than my fair share off, but a rub between my fingers to cut through the dirt & mud revealed the colour of gold.
Hi Charlie. I actually really like the 11" coil. My first one that came with the detector suddenly just died completely on me one day. It got replaced under warranty. I don’t know if you are aware of all the drama & fall out over how ratty the 6000 was for many people. As for me I am very used to running my detectors flat out, which can make them a bit noisy & ratty, but I can hear through that & pick out a signal. But with the 6000 it just always seemed a bit unstable. People seemed to accept that it was just the nature of the best & that it may have been the Geo Sense doing its thing to make the detector really hot. Others gave up in frustration & got rid of theirs. Long storey short , It turned out there was a problem with a part & you were able to send your detector in & have it replaced, the part that is.
It is early days with the 12 x 7 but I can’t really see it getting deeper than the 11" coil. I have found some pretty deep small gold with the 11" that surprised the heck out of me. But the 12 x 7 being elliptical you can poke its nose into tight spots that the 11" would struggle. My 11" runs pretty quiet anyway so I didn’t notice the 12 x 7 being any/much different. Don’t forget, our ground is very mild compared to many places over seas where they have to run in difficult mode & turn the sensitivity down. I can run in Normal & full max sensitivity. That may be the difference. I won’t be hanging up my 11" that is for sure.
Hope that was of some help, but it probably wasn’t as I know guys over seas are banging on big time at how much better the 12 x 7 is over the 11". But like I said, it is early days for me with the 12 x 7.
