[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 624169, member: 4485"] I consider myself a scrubber but I know people that will do roughly the same amount of detecting as me in the same/similar country but wear out 2-3 skidplates to my 1. They must lean into it :lol: Some areas though are pretty savage on them (sharp quartz, shale, slates) but I find more gouged type marks or wear on the corner/edge where your trying to push the coil into gaps etc. than overall wear. SDC skidplates were bad for the pinhole wear around the corner/edges. Sometimes not even noticed until taking off for a clean & seeing the sunlight come thru. So far the 6000 skidplate seems to holding up ok but in saying that it's seen more hours in "sheep paddocks" than reefy or surfaced type areas as yet. [/QUOTE]
