[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 615809, member: 3820"] With all the banter being thrown about I think it is still far too early to call whether the 6000 is worth the price tag or not, yes for weight savings and ease of use alone it is for me, but we haven't had much of a chance to try it out properly in good conditions here in Vic, with lockdowns and very wet ground conditions it's proved challenging to get out swinging, I've still been detecting as long as it's not raining and although the ground in Vic triangle is saturated the 11" coil is still handling it pretty well and finding targets, it's been a good time to learn how to pick ground noise from a genuine target response which will really help when the grounds dry out. When the 17" mono coil eventually gets released here in Aus and we get some good conditions to put hours on the 6000, only then will we know if it is worth the price tag or not. I recall the same debates happening when the 7000 was released and now the consensus is it is the king of gold detectors. In W.A. it seems the 6000 is doing well so far, in the wet grounds of Vic I'm impressed so far compared to my 4500/evo set-up for past few Winters but come Summer with the 17" mono and some good hours behind it, we can get a better all round picture of how well the 6000 performs all over Australia.
