I am a member of both forums, I never read or heard negative comments on Gold Detecting and Prosecting Forum about this forum, unfortunately "Schist Stirrers" are everywere, I think that the moderator are doing a very good job keeping them under control, Is only three or four member that have nothing better to do and that is why they opened a post just for operator/owner of the new 7000, all the negative commente where coming from people that have no intension or the money to buy one, still they wanted to interfere in conversations between people who wanted honest opinions about the new detector, therefore I think it was a very good idea.
Cheers
