Get both. 😊 D4G

Guess they aren't the rocket scientists that people think they are. Look at X coils & the egg they splattered on ML's face. D4G

Detecting slopes with a large coil has its own issues, so yes there is potential there. You will need to use a harness & have a strong arm/shoulder & a swing arm to help make is "easier". D4G

Nothing makes the SDC pleasant to swing. Nothing short of a whole repackage into a more ergonomic unit. D4G

You could have made a knuckle protector yourself from a bit of PVC pipe & shaped it with a heat gun, or your wife's hair drier. D4G

Minelab probably have spray cans of "New car smell" that also kills weevils. 🤣 D4G

A shame there is no coiltek 10x5 mono or ML 10x5 DD or NF Sadie 8X6 for the tiny gold. That is a banger of a deal though. Just got to find ground that no one else has been over that still has gold. That is the hard part. D4G

Don't start Phrunt on getting a faulty machine (GPX 6000), or are you just winding him up? 😁 D4G

That is a seriously small bit of gold for a seriously larger coil & that is seriously impressive. It appeared to be down a little too & not on/near the surface. How could anybody not be impressed by that? Having said that though, we here in New Zealand are blessed with very mild ground & able to run in the high end sensitivity levels. Many others aren't so lucky. Don't let Reg see/hear you call that a nugget. 😉 What is the weight of that coil compared to the standard ML 14x13 for the 7000? Cheers D4G

18-20. High yield/normal D4G

I don't think you can get concentrics for a PI detector ie, your 5000. It works on the GPZ 7000. I do like your moto though. D4G

I would say at a guess the Russian made X coils. They are very good, but if you have a problem with them & have never tried one then I guess you will never know what you have left behind. D4G

You guys just need to get out detecting, D4G

Maybe the 19" Evo got better depth being a bigger coil than the 7000's ML 14x13, if that was the coil your friend was using on his 7000. D4G

Good for you. More than well deserved. Cha Ching $$$$ D4G
