[QUOTE="BrisJoe, post: 34211, member: 805"] They were being ML salesmen with field experience in other Garrett models as well as most of the ML detectors. They explained (and also the many reviews of the ATX on my US forums where nobody has found gold with the ATX, only coins and treasures) that the Garrett is aimed at the mid market for a mid priced detector, compared to the ML which aims at the upper level as a gold specific detector, rather then a coin hunter tweaked for gold as well. But I guess we will have to wait until someone does a head to head comparrison between the ATX and 5000. Also ML may be bringing out a new detector this year at the annual ML dealer conference, but is not known if it will be a mid level contender with the ATX or something so incredibly awsome it will be priced above the 5000. Time will tell, well at least another month and a half. Back on topic... And the difference between the 4500 and 5000? What about the 4800? The only experience I have with detectors is kmart specials lol so am looking at buying right the first time and having a detector that will last me at least 5+ years of regular use. [/QUOTE]
