good to be back in bendigo fantastic weather straight out into the gold fields we've got
a couple of uh the gpx 6000s running around here just going to show you a
couple of the targets that we've had a chance to uh detect this afternoon
we've gone out here we've got the gpx 6000 running around we've located three targets that we've
scraped the surface on we're just going to run the 11 inch coil on the gpx 6000 over this target and
then we're going to do a comparison by running a gpx 6000 with the 14 double d over the target
and i think the results might surprise you let's have a listen here so that's a clear
sound that we're getting out of the um uh machine here nice clear targets volume coming through
okay before we dig any further we're going to now switch off this machine
and bring in a 14 inch double d coil on a gpx 6000 let's hear what a 14 double d sounds like now
we're still getting a definite audible signal while we're going over it with the 14 double d
coil which from double d's previously you found that you lost a lot of sensitivity
however with the sound of this and we'll just run over it again
it's a little bit softer than what we're hearing with the 11 inch mono but it is certainly a target
you would dig the 14 inch double d gpx 6000 this could be a bit of a dark horses coil
let's try a couple more okay this is the second target we've marked out here just on the edge
of the whipstick let's have a listen to a second target with the 11 inch mono coil on the gpx 6000
that's definitely a discernable signal it's a little bit quieter than the first one we heard
let's see how the 14 double d on the gpx 6000 performs
let's run the double d coil over this target remember we've heard it before with the 11
inch mono and both the machines that we're using today are set in auto one let's have a listen here
once again you can hear that is a very easily discernible signal
this is an area that has been flogged and in this case i'd have to say that the double d coil is
actually giving us a clearer or more crisp sound than what i've been getting out of the mono coil
okay we're going to look at one more target and then we'll dig these ones up this is the third
target that we've located using the 11 inch mono coil on the gpx 6000 let's have a listen to this
and once again we're then going to have a listen and see what our 14 double d sounds like
so we're getting that signal through nice and clear there it's probably a little bit louder
than the second one that we heard about the same i would think is what we're listing on
the first target though since we've been out here we're going to bring over the 14 double d
and just compare what the target response is like once again here we are the third target
let's have a listen with the 14 double d on the gpx 6000
so we're getting a fake target signal through from there it doesn't seem to me as though it's
as loud as what we're actually getting before when we're operating with the 11 inch mono
but certainly the 14 double d is still hearing this target what we'll do now is we're going to
have a look and dig each of these targets out and see whether we've got lead gold nails or bullets
let's have a look and see what we've been hearing with both the 14 and 11 inch coils on the gpx 6000
okay we can hear where we've taken the the soil off now uh a much louder signal or target response
dig down a little bit deeper that usually means hopefully it also means it's going to be a
slightly larger object now this is straight out of the ground we have no idea whether it's gold
lead bullet but we're certainly going to find out
okay it's looking like we've got the target out of the ground now so we're just going to
get our trusty little scoop here and have a listen see if we can't find our target
the people are out using the gpx 6000 certainly finding multiple extra targets over
and there it is over areas that they've absolutely flogged with previous generation mylab machines
here we go they're sounding like there's something there
one piece of lead shot it's a target we've heard it with the 6000 let's move on to the next target
once again hearing it with the 11 inch coil nice and clear here let's scrape a bit away
and see if we can't get ourselves a little bit of gold so so far out of our three test holes
we've had one little piece of lead and we're just about to see what's in the second one now
you can hear it nice and clear there
okay it's out of the hole
so i've got it in the scoop now just uh going through it
okay second target there that is amazing that is a tiny piece of gold we haven't got some scales out
here but we'll try and let you know what the weight of it was heard with both the 14 inch
double d coil and the 11 inch mono on the gpx 6000 this machine is certainly delivering the goods
this is the third target that we marked today we're going to try and dig
it out so so far one piece of lead one tiny piece of gold let's see what we've got here
just scrape it out a bit deeper
it's always good when we get down a little bit see
a bit of gravel there let's hope we've got to put another piece of gold here
that's sounding better looks like it's out of the hole now
i've got the target in the scoop
this time unfortunately just another little piece of lead shot
once again a heavily worked area and still producing targets with the gpx 6000 okay
we've taken a bit of soil out here we've had a faint target what we're going to do
is just run the coil over it so you can have a bit of a listen to what's happening there
so that's after we've taken a couple of inches out we're going to scrape a bit more out and just
check out what this target is so this area we've had multiple pieces come up with the gpx 6000
um we just want to show you a couple of them this area is right on the edge of
the main road you might hear the cars in the background and we are still digging stuff out
of here now this could just be a lead shot we don't know nice hard ground a few who around
bendigo have probably been in this area and had a prospect anyway so by doing this uh
we've found upwards of 30 or 40 pieces from within this area with the six thousands let's
have another listen again and see if it's still in the hole no we can definitely hear it's out now
it's still sounding nice and clear there
now with a target like this and the sound is coming off you would expect it's going
to be quite a reasonable size target so something inside this uh little lump here
just break our lump in half and see what we've got
i can still hear the signal there still down and already lucky's on to it
oh look that's incredible look at the size of that piece there um down into here this is the size of
the piece uh a nice little flat piece which is probably why it was sounding a bit louder
once again just walked in here turned the machines on gpx 6000 absolutely smashing the little pieces
so there you have it guys we just had a little bit of a run through and we can see that the 14 inch
double d coil certainly performs very very well on the gpx 6000 it'll be exceptionally good in
areas of high power interference but on the three targets that we tested in situ you can hear that
the coils were both hearing the targets it was amazing to be able to hear that tiny piece of gold
with a 14 double d it might be worth giving it a go next time you're out using your gpx 6000
