[QUOTE="user 22230, post: 659918, member: 22230"] I sold a 5000 for a seven simply as I struggled to get my head around the 5000. ie [B]Unskilled operator [/B]I'd still back a good operator with a 5000 against a seven, only difference being is they may have to sweep an area several times with different coils on the 5000 to achieve the same result as a seven can in one sweep of same area. Small gold ? Big Gold? It's all metal and usually only the depth that varies and at the end of the day I don't swing a gold detector I swing a metal detector. SDC I'd never part with as it simply finds gold types that others just do not. Apparently due to the SDC coil timings ? But all that's way above my pay grade. But when out in a paddock a piece of gold is placed on the ground and the SDC screams over it whilst the seven barely offers a squeak then as a novice that's good enough to convince me that one has something the other doesn't 🤔 Look at it as a job and not many people go of to work with only one tool in their tool box ;) [/QUOTE]
