Ron (CA) Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I got bit by the gold bug pretty hard a couple weeks ago when I found my first dwt+ nugget with a detector. My buddy also got bit and he wanted a Minelab PI. So I decided to sell him my 4000 and I picked up a used 5000. Well it arrived yesterday and was just lying on the floor begging me to take it for its maiden voyage. I obliged and took her out for a couple hours this afternoon.I was in Fine Gold with default settings. I was using a NF 14" elip Mono. Pretty sens set up as these were 2-3 inches in the ground with a layer of tall grass over top. They are 9.2 grains and 5.3 grains.New 5000 and a couple nuggets within the first couple of hours!! I will have to give all the credit to the machine at this point as I am a novice to this hobby!I know it does not compare to what some of you find but for me it is pretty exciting!Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
