[QUOTE="speci-man, post: 26982, member: 1023"] I saw a patch pulled out over this season and the last, out of 300+ speci's(the patch was completely speci's) only 10 pieces were detectable with the 5000....the rest were picked up with a whites GMT. Some of the pieces the 5000(and a 4500) missed contained multiple ounces in a smallish piece of quartz. Many people would not believe the 5000 missed everything and I tried every setting possible to try and get a response from one of the speci's...not a hum beep or tweet was to be heard. Overall over $150,000 worth of the yellow stuff was extracted from the quartz over the 2 seasons with barely a fraction of the speci's able to be heard with a modern PI machine. So think about that when you walk around swinging....you may just be walking right over 100's of thousands worth of gold! BTW I use a 5000 and wouldn't consider trading that in to use a whites full time....the chances of finding a patch that size of all speci's a 5000 cant hear is very remote....but if you have a spot where the gold has been peppered in the quartz then go back with a whites etc and hve a swing....you never know!
