[QUOTE="loamer, post: 99757, member: 981"] The 2000 being the ground breaking PI was the KING of detectors when it came it. Resulted in the end of VLFs for any serious prospector IMO. I think the 2200D was the next ground breaker, followed by the 3500. I guess our opinions of the first PIs right up to now was the 'wow' factor. We grew up with them as opposed to now where some folk who never had to deal with the early PIs and try out a 2200D and think WTF?! Too noisy. I have posted my observation before and it has been reinforced by a few old timers, those prospectors that grew up with the early PIs are far more forgiving on ground noises and hot rocks with their GPXs than those who have not. A dealer said to me recently that he reckons we have 'noise tolerance hearing'. What I can say is that my 2200D farts, wheezes, gurgles and generally moans and groans but I guess, like me, it is getting a bit long in the tooth and just wants a quiet life - still good fun with a DD on a windy day to use and a great training detector.
