Advice for my next detector

Im looking at upgrading to better detector i currently have a garret ace im wondering if i can get any advice on a mid range detector suitable for the golden triangle area of victoria

Hi Ewan what is your budget for it as that will help people answer you question But a sdc2300 would suit
Roy

My budget is around $3000

And ty for a response roy

Hey Ewan, a SDC would suit that budget.. Very capable machine and user friendly.. :Y:

Ty eluvial :Y:

The SDC 2300 is a good machine,

I have used one of my friends,

A lot of people on here use the SDC 2300,

You can get one in the range of $3200 upwards,

New around $3599 to about $4000 I think,

Someone will come along and correct me :lol:

A brand new gpx4500 costs 3450 mate and gives you lots of options.

The GPX 4500 is more vestile. In that you can change coils and get deeper than the SDC. It is however, more complicated and will take a while to learn. But it is worth it in the long run.
The SDC is really a point and go detector but depth is reduced.
It is your call I would suggest before you buy hire one to see if it suits.
Personally I went from the SDC to the 4500 and with a change in coil able to detect in different soil types.
And both detectors are really the same price.

Plenty mate. The sdc2300 is aimed primarily for small gold. Only has the small 8 inch factory coil Whereas the 4500 can be used for both small and large gold with different coil types.

I have a 4500 with a 12 evo coil and it will pick up tiny gold no problems. Its also able to locate bigger nuggets at depth as well so you cant go wrong really for the price.

Someone once described the SDC as able to pick up "Fly SH@T"

Now with the new coils on the 4500 this is also becoming a reality.

No need to complicate things with the 4500, it is a formidable weapon on factory settings.

Agree, I don't stray far from the factory settings and am amazed at the sensitivity and depth it achieves in hot ground, good coils make a big difference IMO

Ty all very much ive decided to go the gpx 4500 after doing some research

Nice pick-you won't be sorry.

Hi Mate..Good to see you went with the 4500 good choice. Match it with either a 14 x 9 or 12 inch Nuggetfinder evo coil and you wont be missing to much. I run one of the SPo1 boosters on mine and rate them highly.

Happy Jack
