While the 7000 is my main detector, I cannot underestimate the power of the mighty little 2300.
I have an area where the 7000 has given me just under 2oz of small reefy gold and some specimens. This area is about 30' x 15' and for the life of me I cannot coax another signal out with the 7000.
Yesterday I went back with the 2300 and was amazed by the number of targets.
This is 4.9 grams of smalls from surface down to a few inches.
Once out, every one of them registers on the 7000 though some of the tiniest ones have to be touching the coil.
Below are 4 specimens which were all surface targets and clearly audible on the 2300 yet all bar one failed to elicit a response on the 7000 in situ.
Once removed and rotated, the 7000 recognized all of them.
The smallest piece pictured below, is the only piece with visible gold and the only one the 7000 recognized in situ, and that was probably only because I knew it was there.
I called in to some friends who are dectecting with 5000's and 4500's using a variety of coils from 17" x 11" to Commander 8". Not one of the specimens would register.
Unfortunately I left a few signals as my 2300 batteries went flat. So I'll be back in a day or so to see what else is there. If you have an area you are pulling gold from it pays to hit it with every machine you've got plus a variety of coils.
