[QUOTE="GOLD Billyen, post: 62885, member: 2559"] Thanks Twapster. What a great question! Seriously, I was just about to ask it myself. I think me being a newbie means I'll ask the "dumb" question that's actually smart. I try to re-read the forums so I don't ask a question that's been answered but, this is a good one. I've read a ton on detectors and I'm watching every video out there. If the PI and VLF don't mess up each others signal than it makes sense. Do they? Everyone says PI is the way to go but VLF sometimes picks up something a PI may have missed. I saw a video were the Eureka got a signal and the 5000 missed it. I don't know if it was a set-up but, that scared me a bit off a 5000 purchase. I'm seeing a lot of videos that are done by pro "this brand" and seem to ALWAYS do better against the other brands they are testing. I assume it just staff or re-sellers doing them. I don't see why I need to carry 2 detectors around when some guy in a lab can make 1 that does both. If we can put a man on the moon they can make a lightweight, nicely designed PI/VLF detector. I'd pay more for that. I just don't want to walk over gold. [/QUOTE]
