[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 4950, member: 147"] G'day Rick,...hard one to answer seeing there's quite a few detectors out there at the moment. Firstly.." in my opinion " ;) nothing on the market will beat the gpx 5000 if it's " Gold only " your talking about. By the same token you wouldn't take the 5000 onto the beach to detect coins/jewelery. There's heaps better detectors out there for that. Whites have a TDI ozz PI Series out at the moment, and I'm about to test this machine against the gpx5000. It's reputed to very close to the 5000 in performance on the gold field, and has the added advantage of coming with a waterproof coil suitable for beach work. It also has discriminating capabilities better than the 5000 for "relic" work....and at just over 2 grand absolutely floggs the 5000 price wise. I can give you some detailed UN-biased test results in about a week If that helps in your decision...Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
