hey i got gold fever and you wouldn't believe it i'm not
chasing gold and i don't want to leave it this gold detector has got me on the run
all around australia it's got me roaming i find a piece or two that keeps me
going that is definitely a faint target that we're well worth investigating a little further let's
just have a listen now what the same sound in the ground sounds like on a gpx 5000 with an eight by
six nugget finder city coil okay now we had a listen to the target just before it's exactly
the same target as we had in i was using the gpx 6000 and just to show you the power of the 6000
and the difference between the five and the six i've got andrew the coffee bush kid and this
time he's got a gold detector in his hand what are you using there andrew i got the gpx 5000
with the eight by sadie coil on and and for me this is a killer unit okay let's have a
listen we know where our target is let's have a listen over it and see what we've got here
so that's in the target area where we're detecting the target with the 11 inch coil on the gpx 6000
wow yeah i don't believe that let's have a listen i'm going to sneak up on this now
this was the same target we were listening to before with the gpx 5000 and the 8x6 80.
that's as loud as today okay let's take a little bit off the top here while we're here i'll just
make a nice flat area to work from see it's a bit of leaf litter and stuff on the surface there
just scraped all that back now we're gonna come in and have a listen again
come from the other angle
okay so we've had a bit of a listen with the 6000 we're going to come back over now we've scraped a
bit of ground off andrew is going to run sadie on the 5000 over it again and see what we can hear
yeah hear it now but that initial one
would have walked straight over it absolutely so you're getting a faint target there i still think
it's not as clear as what we're getting through on a 6 000 but knowing that the target's there
we've been able to actually get the 5000 with the siding to hear the target after we've scraped
maybe half an inch off the top and that little bit of difference is the power that's in the gpx 6000
we use the front tip to locate where we are again i reckon there on that line yep
now you can hear how faint this is yeah it's struggling it's going to take a little bit of work
for us to get it out with 000 but a small coil will certainly help i think andrew i think there
ish right here let's scrape a little bit back yeah i'll just take this off the top here and this is
quite loose all this uh material so it's a lot of decomposed matter here not really getting into any
gravel yet but let's have a look maybe it'll be here now okay now look we've taken a little bit
more off we're almost certain that it's up in this top corner here of the uh grab we're going
to have another listen again with the gpx 5000 see if we can get any clearer signal through now
hardly a whisper really is it yeah it's ridiculous
hear it better that way you're just getting a signal coming through i heard it better from
around this side maybe you swing around this way and see if you can have a listen from there
yeah but it is still a fairly faint murmur it's nowhere near like that no we'll give
you one more leave your machine on i'll give it one more scrape out and see if it improves uh
a little further looks like a bit of gravel in the ground there too now we've got through the uh
the top stuff let's have a listen again and see if it's any
all better it's shifted if anything come back a little bit
we're gonna take this off the top here and have a listen yeah
okay just take a little bit out and see what makes any difference
oh it's in there
i'll leave my coil there for you you can unwrap the trusty scoop
not there
still not there
not in that lot
not hearing it there either
no luck yet
still no sound maybe i've dropped it
i think it might be time to switch the 6 000 and see if we can't uh locate that again it's
obviously a target in here i'll get you to flick yours off for a second okay look we've
heard this a number of times we've heard it with the uh gpx 5000 just with the sadie coil on we
have the last listen with the gpx 6000 and then we'll dig the target out let's have a look here
there is absolutely no comparison between the gpx 5000 and the gpx 6000 on this target
can't hear it it's been left there before by previous prospectors gold digger dive mine lab
and the gpx 6000 almost certain that i'm going to dig up another piece of lead let's have a
look and see how we go a little bit of gravel and stuff down at the bottom there which is good
it does let's have another listen
okay we're still down in the hole
that's a great sign when we're down here let's just take this bit out a little bit
i think we're out of the hole
we're somewhere down in here so once again come down we'll whip out our trusty little scoop here
so i could hear we've got a sound there now just get rid of one of my chicken sticks there
still there with a sound
no sound there still no sound
no sound in that one
i'm hearing the sound here now hey look just looking in there can you see what
i'm seeing rolling around there andrew yeah okay once again i've unfortunately
just again hit that little piece of lip now that's a small target the important thing here is
you didn't stand a chance at digging this if you're using a gpx 5000 well what a fantastic day
it's been here in kangaroo flat i've been wandering around this gulley
dug a few pieces of lead but most importantly you all saw the comparison of the gpx 5000 to
the gpx 6000 we're using different size coils but the smaller coil should have been an advantage
to the gpx 5000 i've had a great day out here really enjoyed it look forward to
bringing you more informative clips like this one in future episodes of detecting with dave
