Snakes, Thorns And Other Causes For Concern
Hobo replied to Rad Rocks's topic in Detector Prospector Forum

Hobo replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum

GPX 6000...... Nope, Staying With My Sdgp 5600
Hobo replied to Tony's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
The difference in the amt. of gold found with the 6000 over a sd used with a GM1000s not enough to justify the $. JMO -
I would put the money to better use than a 6000. Don't need to look for crumbs too deep for a Monster or too small for a 7000.
