So about how good the 5000 is... I went over that "spot" with my gb2 and got flustered with the hot ground... Not wanting to deal with the noise I moved down the wash maybe 10 or so feet and found a couple dinks on more quite ground. My detector may have found most if not all but I walked past because it was too hot... I wish I would have had the 5k that day... I also have a 3k that I use most of the time but the ground was too hot for it also... My 2 cents. Good job dirt bag.
