[QUOTE="hAyyoUinAU, post: 349783, member: 10637"] Hey Roddosnow, they varied depending on size, but a 14grammer was pulled from about 300mm. A couple were screamers that I suspect any detector should of picked them up, but others were a subtle dip in the threshold that held up after removing surface and got louder. I swung a Makro Gold Racer over the same ground and it would pick up targets, however only after the SDC had located them first. And a lot were either ground noise or just hot rocks. The SDC wouldn't even snuff on them. Makro is fun for coins and relics, but when it comes to doing the job and getting gold, I would say the SDC 2300 and the ZED get it done. I don't need a SDC2300 and a ZED as the ZED does what the SDC does and beyond, besides being 100% water proof which is cool but not a necessity and portability. Plus 10g is a lot of money...so I can use 3 grand back from the SDC towards the ZED expenses. I am not rich at all, and this is a big investment, but one well worth it. The ZED almost makes nuggets it is that good. lol [/QUOTE]
