Thank you, gentlemen. I'll stick with my SDC 2300 with a coiltek 9 by 14 coil. The only advantage I can see in the 6000 is it's lighter. I had a 7000 but spent more than 50% of my time digging hot rocks. The SDC 2300 slides over 95% of them, and you just kicked the 5% out of the way.
I can't believe some of the targets that I dig with my 4500 and a Coiltek Elite 14x9. Looks like I'll be keeping it. Thank you for the video. Greetings from Arizona.
ya not wrong i have the old 4500 made in adelaide running elite 14 inch found a .3 at 3 inches today through the ground leaves lol yesterday i found a 13.3 grammar at 18 inches was dig holes everywhere..since minelab started to make them overseas the detectors are less noisy but also less deep.
Thank you so much for the time spent and sharing this with us!
As I suspected before seeing this test, this is a confirmation for me. GPX5000 still the best detector you can get considering that in EU is priced at 3800 euros with 2 coils and around 4400 euros with 3 coils. Not to forget the vaste settings available on this machine and the big number of coils you could mount.
The SDC2300 for me is not an option. Better I use a combo of GoldMonster 1000 and GPX5000. Where is very high mineralization GPX5000 with a small coil is close to what SDC can do. Where soils allows a GM1000 to be used , it will find also the smallest flakes.
SDC is great if needed a detector with waterproofing and easy to carry in your bag. For what it does the price should be around 2000-2500 euros and not more.
Yes agree mate the 5000 is a great detector value for money
@@jenkosgoldadventures GPX5000 with a Detech UltraSensing mono is a killer combo. Not to forget this coil is waterproof so prospecting in river beds is not an issue. (Minelab stock coils are not waterproof).
It's 5k aud now. Went up 1 thousand along with every other detector. 7000 went up 7 or 800. Ridiculous prices
@@Brandanmayhew I just acquired the GPX5000 with 2 standard coils for 3850 Euro from a local dealer.
The regular price is 4400 euro but some dealers have discounts these days. I speak about EU region.
@cristian-marius-albu ok very nice I also have the 5000 with standard 11" mono and the 15x12 or whatever it is. That one I will not use. I have aftermarket coiltek 14" and 9" and nuggetfinfer 19" and also a 17x13.
Why do you pull the 21grammer up short on the sdc2300 at 200mm and go to the gpx5000 I have a 66.7 gram specimen found at 540mm deep with a sdc 2300
Hey mate try 11 inch coil settings auto 12 or manual 10. Your using dd wrong coil for that test.
I did on a previous video
Third or fourth time I’ve watched this video. I’ve got both the 5000 and the 6000. Given the right settings and the right coil the 5000 is almost on par with the 6000 and possibly a little better on deep big gold. The difference is you don’t need all those settings and different coils with the 6000. If your detecting an area with the 5000 and use the wrong settings or the wrong coil for the type of gold your going to less or nothing. I’d like to see this test again but with the 6000 using the 17 inch elliptical mono Minelab coil.
Definitely will up in Clermont in 2023. The 17” has been good for small shallow gold although that’s not what I bought it for. Obviously with that coil I was hoping for bigger deeper nuggets so that’s my 2023 challenge. Thanks for the comment 👍
You made the 6000 look like an 8k waste of money with that 14dd the gpx5000 killed it 🤣🤣🤣
The 6 will find far more small shallow gold over any machine. Check out my latest video
@@jenkosgoldadventures yes agree the gpx6000 is deadly on tiniest of gold it loves the prickley or speciman gold as dose the sdc and gpz.
Great common sense videos mate! Building confidence in machine and operators before heading instead of buying the box and heading out expecting the Instant success! Cheers. 👍
Cheers mate
I love my Gpx-5000!!!!
Yes a top machine
Good comparison under controlled conditions. Somehow I think the 6000 isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Give me the 5000 and 15 inch Evo any day.
Just got a .7 gram at 8" using the mono coil. Have to say using the dd in this test is like tying one hand behind your back for a fight.
Take the 6000 of difficult ground and put the 11” coil on and see what results you get
@@mattlegerton4908 The dd is only giving your 7" transmit coil not 14".
Just pulled a bb gun bb sized gold nugget at 10"! It sounded pretty close to ground noise at the start of the dig. Couple inches off..still iffy but enough to proceed. Wasn't an obvious target till about 3" down. This was with the 11" mono.
me too .The 5000 is still a strong contender with the evo range .Plus you have timings to play with ,the 6 doesnt . I have done well with the 5000 and also the 4500 a great machine too
The best device is GPX 5000. Cooltek14 disk
you need to learn something important... the coil size matters...try use a 15 or 19 evo coil on the 5000 it will blow away the other detectors on all the targets
Yeah mate I realise coil size adds depth. It’s just what I had. Hopefully have the 19” for the z soon. I’m hoping nugget finder will bring out a big coil for the Z . Thanks for your comment mate.
Awesome work mate, keep them coming. Really enjoyed your video 🇦🇺🤠⛏️
Cheers mate
This is the reason why there are not many GPX6000 vs GPX5000 comparisons on RUclips...the 5000 with Evo coils beats it, so the retailers don't want the consumers to know...
which evo size is wealth buying for 5000
@@japanlecou1784 The 15" round is the best I've used.
@@adamteague462 what about the 15 inch Detect Ultermate Spiral coil DD coil for the GPX 5000
@@JACOB1556 Hi mate I haven't used that one, is it good?
@@adamteague462 I think so I haven't took it to,the gold fields yet but I have took it in the beach a few time and its picks up everything. But I tested it on some small bits of gold and its wired that cancel mode works very well but probably because I was testing ot in the house.
love my 4500 aussie made one with the 14 elite coil bit noisy in enhance but train ya ear its taken me years , gold is only as good as the man digging .liston for short inverted soft peaking .
Part from the background music great video
Yes agree, thanks for your feedback
Thats a awesome demonstration of why not to upgrade until they do more work on the 6000 mate thanks for sharing
Lol not even remotely a fair test. The DD coil significantly reduces the sensitivity. I’ve got both the 5000 and the 6000, they both hear targets at similar depths however the 6000 can also pick up less than 0.1g nuggets.
@@nathanridout1550 true but my 4500 can get 0.045 with the sadie on it
@@nathanridout1550 I did the test on the 11” last video people requested I test the 14” coil. That’s why I tested it. It handled the emi well however was a lot less sensitive then the 11” . Check out the last depth test video
@@nathanridout1550 My 5000 with 15" Evo gets 0.03 gram nuggets at 3 inches...it is the best...
@@adamteague462no it doesent. 0.03 is sdc and gm1000 size gold. Stop pulling your chicken
I would be very interested in knowing the settings the GPX 5000 was set at.
SDC on the 21g nugget at 300 and 400 mm..no video? can sdc pick it up?
sorry but if you'd shash, we could hear too. Thank you
Cheers mate
Jenko really like this video, do you think that the 11" Mono with the 6000 goes deeper than the 14" DD as a rule?
And I guess my next question is do you have the 17" and can you do a video with all 3 coils at all?
Hey mate yes I do have the 17” will look at doing a video of all 3
I am in Ghana. I have the 5000, please what settings were you using for the deep test.
Could you do same test with the mono coil on GPZ 6000. Might be a better coil for this test.
Yes mate the first video has the mono test. Check out the channel 👍
Thanks. Checked it out great video@@jenkosgoldadventures
@@chrisgalpin676 just put a new one up yesterday to mate with the 11” coil
Exactly ..why use DD when others were mono..i see a little bais there..
Is the pipe almost straight down?
If so why do you end up 2 or 3 feet away from the larger nuggets?
Gidday Mr Goldgeter the plastic tube was on a 45 degree angle so at 200mm down it was 200mm away from the where the tube entered the ground. I tried a few different ways before shooting the video and this was the best way to get the best results. Thanks for watching and thanks for the question. I have another test cider coming up.
I watched half the video before I realized that "a100 mil" wasn't mesh size. As crown commonwealth country I assumed they'd measure in English inches. Guess I need to get out more often! On to the ML 7000!
Which one is better for depth? gpx 6000 or gpx 5000
Gpx 6000 is all in one and the best yet. But when you add coiltek 15 or 19 mono to gpx 5000, I promise you, it will be a waste of money buying gpx 6000.
I would guess the 5000 with the right coil
Nice video. Did the sdc get a go at 21gms at 300mm? Also probably don’t use the background music for this type of analysis. Cheers!
Just
6000 coil is 11", the 14" DD is only for bad EMI/GROUND and only really a 7".
Yes the 7 handles emi and ground noise so much better. It’s probably because the 6 is so sensitive but that can work in your favour too some days.
@@jenkosgoldadventures Not sure about the 7 handling EMI better. Older tech than the 6. The 7 used to carry on with EMI where I used to go, the 6 handles it fine. But yeah, def very sensitive machine. Finds ALL GOLD
My GPX6000 works a treat. You must have purchased a Friday arvo one. 😉. Troy from Kalgoorlie.
Haha No mine works great mate
Would have been better to compare the 11 inch mono coil instead of 14 inch DD
Agree but I have already complained the 14 with the 11 so that should give you some idea
Great test but I find the music in the editing makes it difficult to hear what the detectors are indicating.
Yes I agree.. I will be very mindful of that moving forward. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Absolutely, the music really hurts the video. Maybe delete the music track and export a new version.
Just wondering what the point of the video is .witch is the best detector of all .and how would the 5000 go with its factory coil
Thanks for the comment Leigh. The point of the video is to test the detectors on the same size gold as it gets deeper in the ground . There are always so many variables when it comes to detecting some we can control and some we can’t. Ground type, mineralisation, soil moisture content, weather for the day, emi, etc, Then there is the detector you’re using, your settings, the coil you have and way you detect and even your mindset, etc. So this video is my findings for the day, it’s a test Derek and I wanted to do for our own curiosity and I thought that I may as well film it. It’s basically entertainment and hopefully some people will something out of it as we did. The best detector is the one you can afford and the one you feel most confident using. As for the 5000 coil i think Minelab make great coils but I think Nugget finder coils are better. I you would like to subscribe please do so as I have got some videos in mind that should be come in the near future. Thanks again I hope you’re getting a few pieces yourself 👍
Great video.
I always believed the 6000 was over rated and i think you proved that.
Can you pls give us the settings for the 5000 that you used in that location?
Pls don't give me the usual line of " you got to set it for different locations , different conditions etc"
We would appreciate it greatly.
Send me a message on Facebook or drop me a email Joe
@@jenkosgoldadventures hi mate...i just did.
Makes me think besides a bit more stability detectors have gone nowhere since the 3000 . the 3000 in the right hands is easily comparable to all those machines. Perhaps better in a good operator's hands.
You would think some would have more depth but you right an old detector in the right hands and the old detectors can shine. Modern detectors are probably easier to use as well..
Not a bad test but why did you only try 7000 on first test and not the rest ?
I went through the 7 on the previous video mate.
@@jenkosgoldadventures cool I'll have a look.
Was the 6000 faulty the dd coil is not good even Minelab said it’s only really to be used on high emi days to help calm it down the tests I’ve done with my 7000 and the 17 mono and 11 mono the 6000 is not far behind if at all both in normal and they both kill the 5000 it’s wierd your getting such doffernt results to me I can hit a 1 gram at 250mm all day long with my 6000 .. but good video tho shows that soil etc can affect results more than people think
Thanks mate for the comment. Yes definitely prefer the 11” over the 14”. I only use the 14” when the emi is to bad with the 11”. As for the 17” have you found any deep targets with it? I have only found a few small shallow nuggets so far, ones that the 11” would of picked up no problem. I
So what’s the best application for the DD coil verses the mono on the 6000?
The double d is a stable coil especially good for high EMI areas. You can use this coil where you couldn’t use your mono coil, the trade off is sensitivity.
@@jenkosgoldadventures hopefully, I revive mine my machine in the next 7 days or so. Can’t wait to try it in good country around here.
@@Billsadventures13 you won’t be disappointed. The 6 is a awesome machine.
The thing is with detecting you don’t walk around changing settings on your detector trying to pick up signals you might have just walked over just in case or you will be in the same spot for 6 months you normally set it best of your knowledge and start swinging
Yes agree different coils, settings, swing direction and even the weather can change your capability of finding gold. I still revisit old gold locations and sometimes I’m lucky enough to find another piece. Happy hunting
Hi there , was the 5000 in fine gold mode , normal , deep or general .
but if working gold fields you move more faster so wouid miss it thats not right do it like the hunt and move
Yes more then likely
Great video Jenko. How long until you think they’ll bring out a nugget finder coil for the 6000, reckon she would go even better. Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks mate, definitely no expert but always learning. There are some great operators out there. I have no idea on the NF mate but we’ll all be looking out for that one. I’m hoping they are working on a big optical for the 7000.
The "noise cancel" is totally useless. View from 11:08 to 11:40. Noise cancel is performed then as soon swinging is resumed the EMI is back again. EMI and "Ground Noise" are totally different things.
Yes thanks mate
My sdc 5 gram a foot deep running on 4 volume 5
Good work Dave 5G is a good piece
@@jenkosgoldadventures Cheers mate
Awesome work
The small coil on the 5000 really didn't do well on the last large nugget at the 200 mm test. Shows how much larger deeper gold you could be missing with the smaller coils
Yes I agree to get the depth you’re better off using a bigger coil.
What Rx gain are you running the 5000???
I think it was 15 however wasn’t me on the machine
SDC2300 + SteelPhase and a Coiltek, I wont be buying a 6000
Sounds like a great set up. I have a steel phase for my 7 love it
Why are you using a double d coil on the 6000. The whole idea of minelab detectors since the 4000 was to use mono coils with them.Jeez I learnt to use mono coils on a sd 2100 and never ever went back to dd coils.
Just testing mate I used a mono on the previous video
Не знаю поймут меня или нет но может кто скинет оптимальные настройки на gpx 4500 с 15 эво катушкой
Using 3 different detectors with different coils size and configurations (mono & DD).....
What a waste of time....
Yeah you can’t use every coil in the one test would be a 4 hour video. This is just what had on the day. Thanks for watching mate
@@jenkosgoldadventures A fair test is the same (or very close) diameter size coil.
@@qedmetaldetectors4972 Of course....otherwise it's a waste of time....try to educate an anvil !!!!!
Gpx 5000 со evo катушкой, а 6000 со штатной катушкой. Было бы тест честным если оба использовали штатные катушки или оба evo катушками
Sounds like a great idea thanks
yes, why was the 7 used only once.
I used the 7 and the 6 only on a previous video
So was was saving for SDC, but....I am i wasting money....(Heathcote area)???
Thanks for the comment Paul. No I don’t believe you’re wasting your money on a SDC I have owned one and found it to be a very capable machine. The machines work differently and this can vary in different conditions. So the best machine comes down to your budget and the ground you’re intended to detect. If you’re chasing smaller gold close to the surface a sdc is a awesome machine and will out perform many machines on the market.
@@jenkosgoldadventures Sooo hard to decide...All i know is that Heathcote has been smashed for a long time, but I really do appreciate your response. Would be be happy to find find small stuff, but if someone got a big bit under the small I'd spew......flip a coin.
Just another Question, (if yo don't mind)......Are we allowed to search mullock piles? Are you Victorian? (yeah I know that's 2 questions)?
@@paulconnell2385 for me if I had to have one detector I would choose the GPX 6000 without a doubt, it’s awesome on small gold and on my last trip I was happy to get some deeper bigger nuggets as well. However if I couldn’t afford a GPX 6000 I would happily buy another SDC. They are also one of the best machines over mullock heaps and there is far more smaller then bigger gold. A tip with mullock heaps is once you have been over them very carefully you can rake off a couple of inches and try again this method has worked well for me in the past. Also you do have the option of changing coils on the sdc to the coiltech range to increase depth however I think this can void your warranty so check that first. If the machine is out of warranty period (over 3 years old) then that’s no problem. Good luck mate. I’m definitely no expert however I’m happy to help where I can.
Equinox 900
Where did the 7000 disappear to
That test was just on the gpx 6000, gpx 5000 and the sdc 2300. I have other test on the channel with the gpz 7000. You can also find playlists with detector testing, maintenance and finding gold. Im also in the process of making a video on comparing the nugget finder coil with the standard gpz coil.

The double d coil on the 6000 are crap, they are only good with the mono
Yes I only use where I have to. It’s good for high emi areas that’s about it
