[QUOTE="AU Fever, post: 7667, member: 397"] Thanks guys. So far I think the EG is great machine for newbs. To be honest I think even if I had the cash for a GPX 5000, I would've been confused with all the settings even though obviously it finds stuff that the EG wouldn't. A couple of lessons learnt - I found it more comfortable to mount the control box on the end of the shaft, like the GPX, rather than using the mount below the handle. Access to the switches and dials is not as handy, but not really an issue. I don't like wearing on-ear headphones so I used my iPhone in-ear earbuds with an adaptor. The sound was amazing and comfortable when swinging, but when I had to stop and dig a hole they were too short so I had to unplug them which was a pain in the butt. I'm going to modify an old headphone curly cord with a belt clip to make this easier. And yes, I got caught with the old "forgot to take off wedding ring" trick. :8 Does everyone do this at least once?? All fun & games :) John [/QUOTE]
