[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 653120, member: 3775"] Thats the trouble with all detectors, You buy the very best only to find out that you have bought another detector that looks at targets a differant way, Idealy You need one person swinging the 6 or 7K and another person swinging the 4500 over the exact same ground following on behind, Detectors of old use to have a wider target response, IE the 3500 then things like the TDI's you could sellect it to find either large or small targets but although that sounds good it's a PITA because it means going over the ground a second time and a third time using a VLF, The issues you are having is why I stopped chopping and changing detectors, I still have a brand new one still boxed I bought a few years back because I know if the target is there it will find it but every detector I buy after that needs to be differant tech to make sure I have another base covered, Much like you with the 6K and the 4500 etc, All the new machines are good as are the old ones but your predicament proves that we are no further ahead than we were 10 years ago in respect of we still need other machines and that there is no such thing as the perfect or do it all machine, Hope you narrow that gap and get your Tally back on track soon, Good luck mate, 👍 [/QUOTE]
