[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 140248, member: 147"] Seen a few similar results from an extremely experienced "Professional Prospector" colleague of mine who sold his 5000 for a new 7000. Something more worrying to me from his results and obsevations, was a "Shadow Zone" from the coil config, which seems to not see certain mid sized nuggets at mid range depths that the 5000 easily picks up. Small shallow OK....large deep OK but need further convincing of much in between. :| I'm getting hold of the 7000, and a modded 5000 from Woody next week and will run both against my standard 5000, in my own test areas, to see which in my opinion is the sharpest tool in the shed. I'm certainly sitting on the fence for several more weeks before I take any quantum leap to upgrade to what might not be the best bang for your buck. :/ My observations only and not intended to stir any wasp nests.
