[QUOTE="Dolphin, post: 421830, member: 8805"] I took a mate with the GPX 5000 and the same coil as you with me to one of my spots and when ever we got a target we tested my 7000 then his 5000 and basically what we found was not much difference to about 30 cm but where the 7000 had it over the 5000 was it's power went through the leaf litter where my mate has to rake his ground for his 5000 and sdc2300 both to be sure he gets it all. This saves you a lot of time and energy and most targets down over 30cm the 7000 still finds them easy so to me they are worth the money, my opinion only though because they both are great detectors and all have a place in your kit if you can afford them. As they say get the best you can afford you get what you pay for, 5000s hold good resale value and you may not have to put a lot with it on a second hand 7000, just a thought. [/QUOTE]
