[QUOTE="BumbleB, post: 50379, member: 722"] I run an 18" Nugget Finder coil on my 5000, & although I have never had to dig down a meter for anything (I've been close though), I would be very surprised if it didn't penetrate to that sort of depth, especially given a standard 11" mono can get to 500-600mm depth. Well let me put it this way, if they infact can't get to that depth then I was completely mislead (lied to) by the person I bought my 5000 & 18" coil from (Andrew White- Clermont Detectors). He enfatically assured me that I would get that depth & probably more (he indicated with his hand to just under his rib cage)- when I asked how deep would the 26" (the largest one) would get he raised his hand above his head to indicate the depth of approx' 2 meters. I must admit that I was quite surprised at his indication for the 26", but he has quite a reputation within the Industry, & infact he won this years Minelab award for the best Minelab retailer (not sure what the criteria was for that though). Now Ben78, if what you say is correct then I am very pissed!! Now before I lose my shit, I think I should get some background info' from you- where do you get your information on this from?? Are you simply speculating, or did this information come from a particular source?? If there is one thing that I CAN NOT STAND, it's being RIPPED OFF! :mad: Please enlighten me on the information that you have. [/QUOTE]
