[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 282012, member: 4485"] I sold near everything I own & got a GPZ awhile ago now. I'm getting used to only having one kidney :lol: I'm still learning it & haven't been able to get the hours in I would like but that's life at the moment. I think scraping the coil with the GPX comes down to personal detecting preference. I consider myself a coil scraper but don't try to push the coil down through the ground. Others do (cause of some breakage issues IMO) & others seem to prefer to keep the coil just above the ground. The GPX will handle coil scraping but I don't recommend the heavy handed variety. My main problem when I had both the SDC & GPX was that the GPX rarely seen the light of day. Had SDC lust when I first got & still reckon it's a fantastic little machine. I went with the GPZ for that reason - only 1 machine to use & I can concentrate my time on it rather than trying to swap around. [/QUOTE]
