[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 669833, member: 4728"] In terms of a retirement scale return on a detector I would suggest suggest a Tattslotto brand one. More millionaires courtesy of Tattslotto tickets than detector purchasers by a long margin. After 40 years of detecting the easy, big nuggets are now a rarity and prospecting is a hobby or occupation not really a get rich opportunity.these days. Nevertheless less we all live in hope. Seriously though If considering a 5000 your coil kit should cover all bases and include a small, medium and large. The array you mentioned could be described as medium, large, medium and medium-large. Small gold is often the first indicator of deeper larger gold. A small coil such as an 8” round mono would allow your 5000 to compete on reasonable terms with machines such as a 2300 and 6000 for those small gold indicators. So I would seriously consider adding something like an 8” round Commader or small NF elliptical into your considerations. [/QUOTE]
