[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 594906, member: 8209"] It is a bit of a guess at this stage but from what it sounds like is that it will go deeper on smaller pieces than an SDC and generally deeper across all sizes of gold than a 5000. My biggest bet is that it is going to handle ground mineralisation/hot rocks as well as an SDC but have the versatility/punch of a 5000. It is a gamble but, hey, why not? It is also lighter, wireless, has a speaker, 2 batteries (Z only comes with 1 and a spare is priced ridiculously), 2 coils as standard, a 17" coil that is already developed although who knows when it will be available in Aus. I have had a Z and loved it. Sold it due to not using it enough. Now in a position to get out more and want to get back into a good unit. And $1,500 cheaper than a Z is still $1,500 in my wallet. And I've got 2 mates with Z's and a father-in-law with an SDC so it won't hurt to have a bit of different technology on board. Calculated gamble :D [/QUOTE]
