[QUOTE="Redfin, post: 306593, member: 232"] Yesterday Mrs Redfin and I ventured out to the Coiltek Test Site to compare the new GPX 4500 and 5000 running the Coiltek 14" and 17" x 11" Elite coils. The targets are only lead but have been in the ground for some years. The ground is moderately mineralized [Maryborough] Both machines were tested in [b]Factory presets only[/b] using both coils. Targets are as follows; 3 grams @ 9" [22 cm] 7 grams @ 12" [30cm] 15 grams @ 14" [35cm] 2 ounce @ 20" [50cm] 5 ounce @ 22" [55cm] The first 4 targets were definite "dig me" signals, the fifth had a signal that warranted investigation. The 4500 was using an external speaker. The 5000 was running a Rooster Booster. Unfortunately a Coiltek training group turned up so further testing was done. We were very surprised that the 4500 presets would give such excellent results. I have a B & Z Booster in the mail so will return some time in the future. [/QUOTE]
