[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 611003, member: 3820"] I tend to agree Les, I have right shoulder cuff issues and have always had to use my 4500 with bungy and control arm and usually get around 3 hours detecting time before fatigue sets in. With the new 6000 and 11" mono I can happily detect with just the detector in the right hand and pick in the left, scoop in the back pocket and finds bottle in the front pocket and love the freedom of being able to do this for 4-5 hours without a break. When I gave the 14 dd coil a run, within 10 mins I was heading back to camp to get the harness, bungy and fit a swing arm, it was very well balanced once set up but definitely need to "gear up" again, and the 17x13 mono will be the same, not that they are heavy but it's the wear and tear on my body that requires it. I'm not so fussed if the new 17x13 mono is some time away before being available as I'm just really enjoying the 11" mono and freedom it's given, and a target is never far way on so called flogged grounds.
