[QUOTE="loamer, post: 49996, member: 981"] Good question: depending on where you detect, the spoked coils can get caught up in small twigs etc, but with a skid plate that shouldn't be a problem I guess. - some people love them, some don't. On clear ground though, they are fine. That's a fair old leap to the 5000 so it make take some time to get used to the settings. there are few 5000 users on the forum who have kindly posted some recommended settings. If you get the 5000, it probably should come with at least the 11" mono. Once again, depending on where you are and what you are looking at (depth/ground/geology etc) will usually determine what type of coil you may wish to run on that particular area. For example, if you want to play on mullock heaps, it may be a tad big - same as if on deeper ground, the 18 would be preferable. But, good luck with the purchase and as I said, there are users who should be bale to help and I know there are posts on this forum already. [/QUOTE]
