Which would you buy?

has a suggested retail about $50 more than the Teknetics Gamma 6000.
The F5 does provide a few more features, and some people like those minor adjustment selections, other don't.
The F5 can work with one 9V alkaline battery but calls for two, the Gamma 6000 uses one.
The Gamma 6000 is slightly lighter in weight and the balance seems a bit better due to the smaller control housing atop the rod.
Standard coil on the F5 is the 10" (9

I have been using my brother's Gamma for the past couple weeks since my first and only detector, the Garrett GTAx 550, is being repaired. It was fairly easy to get used to the Gamma, and have found several musket balls, very old bullets, and various coins (3 silver). In fact today it found my 50th silver coin for the season, it was 4 inches deep. One of the things I really like about the Gamma is how light it is. It seems like a good machine. Hope this helps...

I've have both. Put equal time into either to gain experience and skill and your finds will be the virtually same. Particularly if one of these two is to be your "best" detector, I'd go with the F-5. More functional adjustability, more flexibility in setup, and more info displayed to the operator.
