Now I'm set - GPX4500 and Coiltek Elite coil

There are times for all of us when we wish/hope for things and stuff gets in the way.....a car dies, a baby arrives, sickness occurs.....you know what I mean. Well since Ive been metal detecting Ive always hoped that one day I might own a Minelab. I couldnt afford the $'s in the beginning so elected buy alternatives. Last year with the thought that the Garrett had died I was able to buy a GPX 4500, still not the top of the range but close. The ultimate coil to swing with it I thought was the 18" Elite, but hey be thankful with what you have, right. Well this was advertised in WA last week and it just had to find a new home at my place and it arrived today...........NOW IM SET. Victoria here I come.

Nice coil!! 4500 is no slouch, it can keep up with a 5000 no problem most the time if not all the time with the right coils for the job.

Let us know how you get on with it won't you Taz ?

HI Pete. Yep no worries. Were hopefully off to Bendigo and surrounds in April so keep watching. Ive got to go into hospital on the 7th March for a new Defibrilator so gotta get over that then off to the goldfields. Can drive for 2 weeks but we'll press it all we can. And the hipstick will help.
