First I would like the thank Rob for the killer service. I took the 5000 to an area that I hammed with my 4500 earlier in the year. I was there for about 5 minutes and got a faint target , I dug down around 8 inches and out pops a .7 gram nug, It was a nice start to the day. Found 3 more small nugs for the rest of the day. Total weight was 1.6 grams. I was running the 5000 in Fine gold with gain at 15. The 4500 I ran there earlier was in enhance with the gain at 11 and a mono coil of course. I love my 4500 but I think me and the 5000 are going to get along just fine. : )
