[QUOTE="Gold1hunter, post: 657200, member: 14696"] Used to have a 5000 and I tried it on the beach & I can confirm IT'S RUBBISH! Every tiny bit of foil and bottle top, forget the dd with discrimination too its useless and many beaches are next to roads with powerlines EMI is uncontrollable (unless you run the dd in mono and cancel and invert the signal) Buy an Equinox, the 800 has a personal preference button (600 doesn't) you can set @ 10kHz You can use it to identify those 1000's of twist tops with a push on the personal button so yo don't dig 'em! (the 600 requires about 6 button pushes to achieve same result) Don't buy the Equinox 800 intending to double use in gold fields as it's horrible but parks & beaches it's pretty good especially when you get into advanced settings.
