[QUOTE="A-team, post: 595638, member: 18790"] Got to say, personally the 7000 even though heavier, worked "for me" better (swing/use wise) with its balance and ergonomics. But having used a 5000 for some time, still think it's the ants pants of "tunable" PI detectors. Endless configurations, multiple accessories but for me, just TOO MANY options and configurations. This one detector can be tuned to find .04g nuggets (my experience) up to coin size targets near a meter deep. That's versatility - but that isn't the 6000. Like much conjecture here, the 6000 SOUNDS like half way from a 2300 to a 5000 in a 7000/3030 format. There are those who wanted a bit more flexability than the 2300 offered, and those who wanted a more "automated" all-in-one 5000. From what I see, Minelab "may" just have filled this gap perfectly. The 6000 has an obvious pre-researched target market otherwise Minelab would not have invested into it's design and production. I'm just interested what people think of it AFTER using it for a while (not just once). [/QUOTE]
