[QUOTE="KIM-MARGARET, post: 109464, member: 1311"] True For me and hubby we each hired a 5000 for a full day had 45 minute training with it and then was on our own, for the rest of the day we both loved it so hubby bought a new 5000 through the same place he had half a day training the the next day we were taken to a spot and spent the day with the seller detecting. So when I got my 4800 I was already had some knowledge I still have my training day available to me but I'm some 1,200ks away. I posted last week my first trip out long week end gone I found 2 little nuggets. This knowledge came from a post on this forum where to dig I think loamer posted it I read and read, I only ran factory preset, but I chose my spot based on loamers post and got 2. I think hiring a 5000 for the day and requesting a course before hand is the best way to go, especially if your some 5 hours drive away and still working so your time is limited. The rest is trial and error I keep on learning from this site and take on board lots of information, I have days of just testing a couple of ks out of town, we can only get away twice a year to do serious detecting.
