I'm a sucker -- but $5500+ worth?
Most serious TH'ing folks have heard about the new GPX5000, with an asking price above and beyond the model number, as in $7,500, list.
I'm the sucker many companies count on. I always think that the more expensive the wheels, the better the ride -- in this case, the better the hunt.
PLEASE help me, oh, ye, who have already gone the full Monty and actually purchased a GPX5000, or related model.
Is it the stuff of legend? Is it the end-all of detectors, able to find a half-dime at 40 inches down.
No, that is not one of the company's claims but I'm multiplying by 8 times how deep I can go half-dime with my $800 Fisher CZ-3D, considered one of the deepest seeking humanely affordable detectors out there.
Again, someone clue me on on the capacities of this bank-busting machine.
Believe me, I'm not dissing it in any way. I might even be in the market. But $7,000 -- $5,500 on sale?
Speak to me -- I'll even listen to a salesperson.
