[QUOTE="gcause, post: 38608, member: 1497"] Hi Loamer, I've got one and so far I must say I am NOT impressed and I don't understand the blurb about being off and not interferring either. Last weekend I had a loud signal on the 5000 and it was obviously a reasonably large target. I dug it and got it out of the hole but then it shifted down the hill of the old timers hole I was in. I was having trouble pinpointing it with the 5000 so I turned on the ProPointer and went through the spoil heap and got no signal. I then asked a friend to pinpoint it with his 5000. He found it in the spoil heap in just a few seconds, it was a large rusty nail, the old hand forged type. The ProPointer was on throughout the process and there was no interference with either of the two 5000's. To not be able to locate such a large iron target is ridiculous. I had gone over the same spot it was located in but not a squeak or vibration from the ProPointer. The ProPointer worked fine in air testing but when it came to working in highly mineralised ground it just didn't work. Regards, Grant [/QUOTE]
