Stolik333, I own a TDI SL SE and a GPX 5000.  Both are great detectors in my opinion but the GPX has found targets deeper than the White's for me on a couple of occasions.  I really like the TDI and actually prefer to use it due to it being so much lighter but if all I was concerned about were depth I would use the GPX.

Kac is correct about them too, they don't have discrimination so you'll be digging all signals and after you've dug a few 20 plus inch holes and only come up with trash that GPX seems heavier than it actually is!  I don't have any experience with the other detectors you listed.

Aureous thank you for your time and effort in posting this information, I find it very helpful in making a decision between the GM1000 or the 24k.  I don't think a person can go wrong with either detector but reading what you've written, and what some others have to say, I think the 24k with it's features might be the better choice for me.

Cool find.  I'm assuming it is a bucket loader tooth?

Great story lol.  Congrats on the nugget, awesome job.  As for the penny I guess it could have been worse, lead birdshot!
