It has been alleged that  Porter who is a ML agent and also a NF agent tried to become a Xcoil agent but after failing  to achieve  this now seems to be attacking and sowing doubts about the Xcoils. So Mr Porter if you think that the Xcoils have problems and  are  not as good as NF or ML coils why  did you  as is alleged try to become an X coil agent? If this allegation is true then i think  your credibility has just gone down the toilet!!

If the  MLdealers had any balls they would all get together on social media and all agree to release the details on the 6000 at the same time and before ML say they can! What is ML going to do then? Give all the current dealers the boot and then appoint a new lot? I doubt it!

Phrunt was one of the only interesting posters on that Forum....following his daily detecting efforts was interesting & informative, and the effort he was prepared to put in renewed my enthusiasm......we see this so often....

I remember when mate, Phil Stearnes of the Gold Mining Centre imported the first Garrett Infiniums/2002 plus many of their products...although he had been selling/repairing Minelabs he was given a """choice""" to continue as a Minelab Dealer he had to sign a Dealership Form/contract which meant he could not give an honest appraisal of the new Minelabs nor ever say anything detrimental in his field testing.......Phil refused to sign & Minelab withdrew,... and he carried on just with Garrett products.....you may recall the 'hard time' Minelab Desciples/Dealers gave Phil over the Infinium and future Garrett detectors, every opportunity theu got to denigrate........can you imagine the "Commercial Boundaries' dealers are bound by today....little wonder they know 'nuffink' until Minelab say they are now allowed to know 'Somethink'......no doubt the GPX 6000 'Official Inaugeration' is imminent....the dweebs in Dubai may have caused Minelab ' premature speculation' in its early amateurish "release video'.......Hoo Roo.

Some key facts about 2020 temperatures
The average global temperature across the year was around 14.9C, putting it around 1.2C above the average between 1850-1900
The 10 years from 2011-2020 were the warmest decade on record
The warmest six years on record have all occurred since 2015
The differences between the top three, 2020, 2019 and 2016 are "indistinguishably small".

One of the key concerns in the data from 2020 is the way that the warming driven by humans is over-compensating for natural events that help reduce temperatures.
"The exceptional heat of 2020 is despite a La Niña event, which has a temporary cooling effect," said WMO Secretary-General, Prof Petteri Taalas.
"It is remarkable that temperatures in 2020 were virtually on a par with 2016, when we saw one of the strongest El Niño warming events on record. This is a clear indication that the global signal from human-induced climate change is now as powerful as the force of nature."

 A good and informative poster on detector prospector forum has been banned. I guess that's the price you pay if you question or rock the boat about ML or  discuss XCoils on a ML dealer forum where the dealers are under the  contractual legal thumb of Codan ML and  must live constantly in fear that one false step and they might lose their dealership!

Porter would be spewing. He is very touchy at the moment. Ego has taken a bit of a flogging.

 USA and  Australian ML dealers are not yet allowed to reveal all about the Gpx 6000 and yet those in Dubai and other places have already posted utube videos and other info on the  gpx 6000!!!

Spot on Doug. Don't you just love it when these Hollier than holy China haters spew their bile on Asia and then go buy an Asian built detector and defend it until death. What a bunch of hypocrites. What a bunch of underperforming, piss poor excuses for prospectors. Hide behind their stupid, gutless pseudonyms and attack them that have actually found gold. Wouldn't have a knacker between the whole lot of them.

I have to agree with much of what you say.But some of the reasons given for banning people are simply laughable eg too many complaints from members about too many off topic posts. But just look at all the off topic drivel that fills  PA! But  PA forum and finders are both about maximizing traffic which means more dollars in the  forum owners pockets.As for moderation on PA their forum rules are a joke because  they  ignore them when it suits them eg political comment is OK eg like calling Dan Andrews, dictator Dan, chairman Dan, big ears and other quite derogatory terms and yet criticism of any conservative politician or Gov is very rare. If you are a redneck like "RM outback" and others or have have conservative opinions you can get away with breaking the PA forum rules! The random and ad hoc deletion of posts also completely destroys the continuity of many threads. While PA should get some kudos for allowing posts on covid whoa betide anyone who tries to post on the topic of global climate change.Their posts will be deleted and the member probably banned. by using a diffrent
PS if you are banned and can't access the forum just use another browser because all they do is ban the persons user agent which is easily circumvented  or install user agent switcher plugin on firefox. I would also advise using script blocker, add blocker and anti tracking blocker on firefox when accessing PA forum.
