[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 610764, member: 4485"] How did you test them? -In situ gold -Test patch -Air tests What settings? -Usable over the surrounding goldfields ground -Sensitivity & volume of 6000 (which can be detrimental if set too high) -Was the 6000 adjusted through various manual + auto sensitivities to test them or Difficult/Normal ground setting -Was the 5000 adjusted to suit the target/s not the general ground/conditions i.e. 5000 adjusted outside of how you'd normally or can operate it to optimise picking up known test pieces -Coil used on 5000 is 10-12" From what I've seen on in situ targets to date the 6000's superior depth/sensitivity to small targets isn't lost once they get bigger. Not saying it's better than the 5000 but I wouldn't say it's worse either (if set right for the conditions). It certainly is picking up gold <3 grams that previous GPX's etc. haven't. Head to head on known test pieces/test beds I'm not sure how the 6000 stacks up (not concerned either). It's easy to optimise a detector in a test situation but using it in real conditions is another thing. Some background on how you arrived at the above conclusion would be helpful. [/QUOTE]
