Spend the money if you have it. You are going to be dead way more years than being alive!!!

my belief too, I've retired early 57 (that was 3yrs ago) as most of the older guys I worked with were dropping dead from cancer, or their bodies were to worn out to enjoy the last innings.

I retired with a big debt over my head. The answer is to just stop spending. We all spend just a bit more than we can earn and most of it is unnecessary. Life has never been so good since retiring. We only work to keep the banks ticking over anyway.

A few sub gram nuggets can just be enough to put a bit of fuel in the tank and food on the table

Recreational prospector here, who doesn't get sucked in with all the media hype. SD2100 kept me interested for 10 years as did GPX 4500 and now the GPZ7000 will see me out. The GPZ found bits down to 0.05g on recent trip so don't need anything more reliable than that. AND still getting to know it.

With you on this Pete, only just visited an old 2100 site last week and the 2100 with the 8" coil do a good job on it.

I used to hire sdc 2300s. Went out a lot in the Dunolly, Maryborough areas. Took me 5-10 trips before I found my first gold sub 0.1 piece of gold. On subsequent trips I found more, two or three 0.1 g pieces a trip. Then the gpx 6000 became available to hire. I detected the same areas and found more gold, and larger deeper gold, up to 3g and up to 35 cm deep. My skills increased over that time. I learned to hear deeper targets which are broader and not so easily distinguishable from ground noise. As soon as I started with the 6000 I noticed the difference though. It’s much less chattery than the sdc, the signals are more distinct and it punches much deeper. The difference seems quite significant to me. I now own a 6000. It hasn’t paid for itself and maybe won’t as I probably won’t sell what I’ve found, but there’s more than an ounce in my jar now.

My experience: I also used to hire the SDC when I first started detecting for gold; then I bought a 6000; then I swapped the 6000 for a 7000. My opinion: the SDC is a good detector, easy to use and will find you gold, but it cannot be compared to the 6000, which is of another level when it comes to sensitivity and depth, especially given the choice of aftermarket coils. And yet, the 7000 is above the SDC and the 6000 because it can still find you tiny point-zero-something subgrammers even with the 17" NF coil, but when it comes to depth there is no match, both with small and large gold. Plus, you have the option of using the x-coils with it, and that's another mega bonus!
I hope I didn't go off topic...

Yup,I owned an SDC for 3y and loved her until I went out same ground, same time with a couple of good 6k users . They would get pretty much 3:1 vs me no matter who went over the ground first.

I got my own 6k and now same ground, same time, same guys it is 1:1.

SDC is good but in 90% of places the 6k is better, and not just a little bit....
