Use to be the best of the best and is still an excellent machine now with amazing value if you get a genuine one second hand with additional coils.
The 7000 Is the best and a very serious machine, it is heavy as well but it finds the gold - at $9600 I think you need to be a semi professional to buy it though. Hire and try before you buy.
The GPX6000 is a newer machine and is a fantastic machine to find gold but once again at $8000 you need to be a serious and regular user to buy it.
The best value for money is a second hand Minelab 5000 with some of the new coils especially the 17x13" or the smaller 12x9" nuggetfinder mono Evolution (or any of the Evolution range or Coiltek Elite range) which is good on the small gold and will get depth for the deeper gold. OR if you can afford it a GPX6000.
Depends on your budget and how often you will use it.....Bill
