[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 52254, member: 206"] In the test video I feel the ATX was trumped by the Whites - the ATX had to be at max gain to hear the nuggets and the TDI did it at half gain. The TDI had a warble about it but I'd say he didn't take the time to tune it properly - additionally you get it a lot more stable running a near silent threshold and the conductor switch on Low (it wasn't as you could hear the high side of the audio coming through) TDI is available on the used market frequently in the $1500 range - you are getting a lot of power for your dollar in that. As for the Gold Bug/G2, I used to have one but on sold it in favour of a more coin oriented machine, now I find myself wanting a gold oriented machine to pair up with my 5000. I don't see the GB being a primary gold machine, I see it as a ability to hunt places where I just can't get the 5000's coil to the ground, whether that be through EMI, trash or waterproofness of the coil.
