[QUOTE="Chuky boy, post: 255397, member: 5620"] Owned all 4. Atx, SDC, gpx 4500 and 5000. Personally I did not like the ATX at all. Way to heavy, not balanced very well compared to the gpx and it did not find me one piece of gold. I suggest you use your money wisely on a Minelab, they rule the roost in the goldfields if that is what you are after. SDC is definitely the best entry level gold detector and the easiest to use. It will definitely find you gold. Personally I felt like I wasted my money on the ATX. Let's just say I've only got one detector now and that is the gpx 5000. There isn't much difference in the 4500 and the 5000. I'd recommend the sdc or 4500 for two reasons. 1 being they both find gold a lot more effectively than the ATX. Reason 2 is the cost, you'll get a Minelab at a better price than an ATX. Ultimately it's your decision and it comes down to the operator. If you don't use your machine properly you'll miss the gold.
