    Best Minelab setup - best model GPX and coils

    Hi All, have been using the EQ Spirit on my 4500 for a few weeks now. Here's my thoughts in no particular order.... Very light, great for a full day of detecting. Sound quality is good, I have not noticed anything untoward, and have picked up .15 to 66 gram nuggets using the EQ. Build quality at...

    @pilbarachad, G'day mate, I live up here and wander around where ever I can... (time and 20A permits) being the main constraints. And yeah, they don't come along like that very often, 99% of my finds are in the sub gram category as well.....just like everyone else !

    Help for a novice - GPX4500 in backyard

    Hi NoFind, Hahaha, it's funny how we all resort to the manual when the Male Logic doesn't work... Yep you got it right, you can only use CANCEL when you also have a DD coil connected to the control head. Great for working under power lines, near electric fences etc.

    What's a good Gold Detector to start out with?

    Hi Steve, Re the GP Extreme, mate..... Who ever told you the Extreme was a waste of time did not know jack I have to tell you. I have a 4500 and a 5000, I also detect alongside a couple of people that run Extremes, and they find just as much as I do!!! If the extreme had an Enhance function...

    Best Metal Detector to start with?

    Hi Lenton, In addition to all the good advice above... Remember, dig every target, if you can hear and find the bullets and the tacks, know that you will also be able to hear the gold!!! Then, one day, the next time you dig a signal it will be a piece of yellow. Good luck
