I have a Gold Monster and a GPX 5000 so one VLF and PI is good, it has lots more coils too, but I’d like to also upgrade that one as well...? ? Yeah, and I apologize if it seemed I was picking on anyone. The dump comment from me is a result of so many in a short time, not any one person. Plus I like stirring the pot, and if I can work in a little poke at Gerry, all the better! I was tempted to grab one cheap and do a tear down and rebuild. I’d love that machine in a regular housing. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, wish I fixed that before you quoted me- I didnt take it personally, I just meant I wasnt selling it for a bad reason. I am just pairing down and trying to save up a little for the future... you are right though, my timing was during a buyer’s market for sure! ?

Great idea, turn a Gold Bug into a GB 6000 and leave the VLF circuit intact - add a toggle and a flipping dual purpose coil to switch between PI and VLF modes! ?

WesD Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Funny stuff, I hadn't seen a hint of an sdc for sale on any forums for awhile, and was hoping for a quick sale. Then the day I posted my add, three more suddenly show up for sale! Darn this is a conspiracy! haha But I do have a few buyers in line, so all is well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying, but you’ve cornered the market right now! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchel Same here! I drag it along on trips Incase my 7000 craps out. And I have used it in extremely rugged terrain where the 7000 is a pain. Also had luck w 2300 on drywasher piles/dig piles getting small pickers. Toyed w the thought of selling mine recently, but for all these reasons decided to hang on to it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Well, there is plenty of demand for used ones. Only one of the four left now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In "SDC territory" no other machine is a match. I would never sell mine. The rumor is that the 6000 is as easy to use as the SDC and GM, but more powerful. Well, unless it's foldable, small and fitting in my backpack the SDC will be the king of the hill for the backpacker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
