[QUOTE="Guest, post: 91990"] Interesting question you raise. Very interesting and I will explain why. I spoke to a friend of mine last night I consider to be an experienced GPX 5000 user. I had this discussion with him last night and asked him the exact question but he uses an 11" mono coil. I need to stress though he pushes the 5000 hard, has a very very low threshold hum and his answer was "yes most likely he could ping a .22 nugget at 8" maybe 7" with the 11" mono but he is pushing the 5000 to its max, what he means by this I have no idea because I have never used one. To be fair he was not on the look out for a .22 nugget while detecting where this answer could be clarified more. He then quickly adds that for the average user with same coil setup and not as much experience with the 5000 maybe at 5" or 6". I think how the nugget is sitting in the ground though is an important factor as well. Just to add he finds lots and lots of small gold with the 5000 and 11" coil setup. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
