[QUOTE="A-team, post: 589368, member: 18790"] It depends! I have numerous back and neck issues - I find the "heavier" 7000 less aggravating than the "lighter" 5000. The thing is to take it easy, know your limitations - do not over do it. Choose flat ground locations as many are not and remember, you still have to swing a pick to recover your finds no matter what you use. atxyr gives some very good advice above, but I would recommend the try before you buy to see what suits "you". Also, for me - a hipstick is a MUST. [/QUOTE]
