[QUOTE="BumbleB, post: 13538, member: 722"] Booya Nugget- great 'in a nutshell' explanation. Very helpful. Thanx! Just back on the detector itself; is it wise to be looking at 2nd hand ones? I realise that this is a 'how longs a piece of string' question, but there is a guy up this way that is selling a 2nd hand GXP5000- purchased in 2011 & apparently only used 3-4 times; apparently it is in near new condition. On face value my concern would be with things like the Lithium battery & if it has just sat there for 1-2 years with no usage or charging, it might not hold charge properly now. Are these machines & the accessories susceptible to under use? Have there been any improvements (software or otherwise) to these machines since 2011? Regards BB [/QUOTE]
