[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 627470, member: 16174"] Not stupid, just depends on the ground & target combo whether a VLF or a PI is a better choice. As Muk says there will be some ground that is so mineralised that you simply cant use a VLF. But equally there is some ground around old workings that is so trashy that in practice you couldnt use a PI Personally there is nothing I hated more than driving 1000km to a mouth watering spot only to find my detector wasnt up to it ( looking at you ADS Deepseeker & TDI SL...). With my Kruzer & SDC combo that is a thing of the past. I guess if there was a really trashy & really highly mineralised area then I would be screwed but so would everyone else. A second hand GP and your Nox would cover all bases and in total wouldnt set you back $3k. But in the end its your hobby, only you can decide how much is worth spending on it. [/QUOTE]
