[QUOTE="BobDigger, post: 343501, member: 9665"] You can't really compare a VLF machine to a PI machine. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. Until recently I have only been using VLF machines, they can do quite well when used properly. I bought myself an SDC 2300 & GPX 4500 but I'm still keeping my X-Terra 705 because it's a different technology and has it's advantages: A VLF machine like the Gold Monster or X-Terra uses less power, is less sensitive to EMI, has discrimination and good for small nuggets with the right coil. The SDC is limited to the one coil, is good on small gold but uses more power and is more sensitive to EMI with no discrimination. That said, unless you're going detecting often you probably don't want several machines sitting around. The Gold Monster will find gold and does fit your requirements of fast set up and go. It's a lot less cumbersome than a GPX. [/QUOTE]
