[QUOTE="Roscoe, post: 102133, member: 1615"] I have a Minelab CTX 3030 and x-terra 705 i use it for coins and relics. I have tried the x-terra in the gold fields it ran Ok, but i never did give it much time out there. At the time my mate was swinging a GPX5000 and i had a go of his PI machine. After hearing that run in the gold fields i was sold on a PI machine from that time on. So the x-terra got used for coins etc. and i bought a Garrett Infinium, then a Gp extreme, then a GPX 5000 and now a Whites SPP. After using Pulse Induction in the gold fields its hard to ever go back to VLF detectors. The VLF Detectors make so much noise on Hot rocks etc. Pulse Induction machines were very expensive and this why people bought a VLF for their first detector. But, now you can Buy a pulse Induction machine for the same price as a VLF, so why do it the hard way with a VLF when you can do it a lot easier with a PI. That's the way i look at it anyway, Go4gold86. :) [/QUOTE]
