Mr. Bill gave you an excellent response that I agree with completely.
I will only add this: If, like me, you hunt older sites where what coins are left are deeper and near iron, you will not like the X5. While it is deep on coins, it has to be set at very low iron reject levels and high gain settings to achieve those great depths on high conductive silver coins. That works fine for relic hunting or even coin/jewelry hunting on beaches. In iron infested sites the deeper coins that the Coinstrike and the CZ's easily ID are not diggable sounds using the X5. At the low disc setting needed to hear the same coins the target response is identical to the sounds from the nearby iron!!
