[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 641867, member: 4728"] Have only had a brief go with a 6000 and found it easy to swing (which is an important consideration) and would not doubt its capability but is very expensive compared to other options Have owned a 7000 and found it just too heavy heavy and exhausting to use for the long periods needed for general prospecting. Maybe an indictment of my dodgy shoulder. I have now settled on two detectors a 2300 and a 5000 with a selection of coils for large or small gold. The 2300 is sure fire on small gold and will remain in my arsenal when working shallow ground for small nuggets, however I do not expect to find the lifetime nugget at depth with it. For general prospecting however I prefer the 5000 for its versatility. With a small coil it will approach the capability of the 2300 whilst giving you the occasional excitement of a deeper and bigger nugget. If you want to search deeper, large coils will also give you a capability approaching that of of a 7000 and a chance of that lifetime nugget. [/QUOTE]
