[QUOTE="condor22, post: 592620, member: 1932"] My first was the MG Eureka Gold, to trip to the GT and very quickly realised it wasn't gonna cut it as a gold detector in this day and age. It was traded in on a GPX5000. I then got a X-Terra 705 for the beach and to see if the wife would get interested, she didn't. I then used a mates 2300 for a couple of days, so.... persuaded SWMBO for me to buy the SDC2300 and sold off the 705. As I'm getting older, I found swinging the 5000, especially with bigger coils, to be too much effort all day. Figuring "I'm here for a good time not a hard time", lol. So I get to an area, do the 5000 till lunch then swap to the 2300 for the afternoon. Unless I'm in an area like diggings/surfaced where I use the 2300 all day. I've found that I might pick up with the 5000, but I always get something with the 2300 and have found more with it. :) [/QUOTE]
