GPX 6000 Question

[Frankyg]

I'm lucky enough to have permissions for several hundred acres on the island of Anglesey in the UK. I've always used Minelabs from the Explorers, through to the E-trac and now my CTX and have found lots of Roman, Medieval and later coins and artefacts. Most of the land I search is pasture with very little rubbish on it so I tend to use open programs and dig everything. The CTX will find silver and bronze to a depth of up to 12" or thereabouts. I'm thinking of buying a GPX 6000 in the hope that it will find deeper silver and bronze targets and also gold of course. I'd appreciate people's views on this.

Thanks
Frank

well $6000 for a machine is nothing to sneeze at but if you find the right coins or enough gold - it's all good. So I looked up Roman coin hordes found by Minelabs.

GPX 6000 FINDS ROMAN SILVER COINS FROM HOARD SPOT @ 18" deep

If you want depth and are willing to dig everything, you picked a good choice in a detector. The GPZ7000 is a bit deeper, but, the 6000 is easier to use, and a bit more stable in sketchy ground.
