[QUOTE="lost a bit, post: 63537, member: 666"] Drbean if you have only found 4 or so ounces with the 2100 in 150 years ( 1800 months) I would look at an upgrade. I have been out with Mbasko on more than one occasion and watched him walk over the same spot time and time again with his 2200 and whites all for no result, then he turns up with the new 5000 and in the same spot bingo picks up two for the morning, yes I realise its a matter of swinging the coil in the right spot and luck does play a part. also understanding the settings and how they work with each other is very important, they say your detector will talk to you and that is so true. I purchased my 5000 in April 2013 and spent a lot of time wandering about finding junk and wondering why I bought the bloody thing and then bingo a nugget jumped under the coil. it all flowed from that one nugget and things just started to fall into place. I have put in unknown hours and yes the 5000 has paid for herself, you need to learn the machine and spend the hours in the bush if you are serious about making your money back and some, or you treat it as a hobby that might make you rich. lab [/QUOTE]
