Garrett dropped the ball again with the Axiom. Not good on Aussie ground and no depth, also pretty unstable overall. X-coils offer many options to the 7000 making it more versatile. Adaptors are around $250 by a reputable guy in South Australia. Their coils are lighter with the variety of concentric, DOD, spiral DOD, concentric and round. How they got to making them work in every type of ground - I don't know but having used them, I can attest to their performance, sensitive, stable, deep and light. Worth every cent of the high price. I found more gold with a 7000+x-coil than any other detector - coil combination. All I know is if you are running an x-coil, you are finding more gold than the person that isn't. I have done many tests with the 7000 and it never fails to impress!
If that is the case then some serious redesign work needs to be done here, the Russians moved their operations to Belarus to get around the export embargo, but to make a better coil than the Australians is a right free kick in the cod’s.
Hi Peter. You might be interested to know that your modified GPZ 7000 (the second one you did that was unmodified in your original side by side air test video ) has a 15” concentric xcoil running on it at present. (The adapter dongle cost $200.) It hands down beats a standard GPX 6000 running the standard 11” ML coil. In one such instance, I have pulled several sub gram pieces from a patch supposedly ‘flogged’ by the 6000. From various depths as much as a foot (12”) deep.. “I’m my opinion…..” This combination is lethal and my detecting buddy continually shakes his head in amazement at what I find in the old “hammered areas” around Bendigo.. I have pulled out 103 pieces of gold totalling 22 grams from one such prominent gully… If I mentioned the name, everyone would be familiar with it and probably wouldn’t believe me… I have no reason to deceive anyone… I’m just singing your praises in terms of the 7000 upgrades.. Regards, Steven.
It might have been better not to have said anything about this new detector & just hit the market with it, like the Algoforce. Bit late now though as you have cast the hook but without saying much.
No worries. I saw that one, but was a bit keen to hear more about the coil adaptor cable. I don't have much room in caravan, so the SDC is a great option, but to also add a range of coils apart from the 8", and have it work sounds very useful.
Thanks Peter on another great video, I look forward to your testing's on the SDC and what Coils work and don't work.
New life for old blue😊 everyone needs that adapter.
I'd love one of these patch cables to use different coils on my SDC.
New video going up

Wow, that would be cool, to fit bigger coils.
Never boring always interesting

Thanks Steven, more proof of the performance improvements of the upgrades tomorrow.
Epic as usual Woody.

How much for sdc 2300 adapter for aftermarket coils Peter
You have to ask David at Detectormods.com
Not to sure where this detech coils are made .? I run one on my 4500 and its very quiet and has found quite a bit of yellow.
I have a Detech coil, they have their place. I think Bulgaria.
Turn the threshold down
How much are the sdc adapters
Contact David at detectormods.com as it is his project.
Have you done any testing on these non-standard coils onto the SDC??
Years ago i did a 12" advantage coil and it was great.
No worries. I saw that one, but was a bit keen to hear more about the coil adaptor cable. I don't have much room in caravan, so the SDC is a great option, but to also add a range of coils apart from the 8", and have it work sounds very useful.
Dimana saya bisa mendapatkan adaptor tersebut bapak
