[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 397339, member: 2964"] Mick I have used the 4500 since its release date. I have a 7000 also but will always keep the 4500. It is deadly on deep gold and has paid itself off 39 times. Looking at your deliberations above ....I would encourage you to persist with the 4500 using only mono coils. I would go for a round 12 or 14 mono coil and get a sadie 8" coil or similar for small gold. The 4500 has the ability to cover ground and find deep gold the SDC will miss...and the SDC is not the detector you want for searching large areas. It has its place but not as an all round detector. Over time the 4500 will deliver in all ground types and give you more gold. If you use an SDC you may come home with some tiddlers on a daily basis but it will not keep up with 4500 unless there is only tiny ground present. With a 4500 you give yourself the chance to get a hefty slug at depth, missed by others. Cheers RDD PS to confuse things...always use the DD mode rather then mono when using mono coils. Folklore says the machine will run very slightly more stable compared to mono...although I have found it is impossible to tell if there is any real difference. [/QUOTE]
