[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 371456, member: 3820"] Sorry to disagree Rob, you say it's a proven performer in the GT yet so far all you can produce as evidence is foil, you say it's 100% reliable and no gold has been missed yet you haven't found gold with it. I've been down this path for the past 3 years with 3 different detectors thinking they'll find gold in the GT, all 3 can handle the mineralization when tweaked but it's only the 4th detector that found gold within 30 mins of putting the col to the ground in Wedderburn. My advice to any new comers to detecting wanting to find gold in the Vic GT, save your pennies and buy an Minelab GPX 4500, 5000 or SDC 2300 and be done with, you might be lucky to find gold with other detectors but most likely you'll end up frustrated. Minelab has a great reputation for finding gold in Australia for one very good reason, just look in the Show and Tell thread and see what machines are finding gold. Edit: Sorry for the derail but sick of seeing misinformed posts to newbies with false claims. [/QUOTE]
