[QUOTE="Guest, post: 18097"] Interested in this too. Have found a GP Extreme for sale that has been modified by "Woody" from detector mods. Have been reading a bit about modding but it seems to be a hung jury - some people seem to think that its a good thing & a lot are dead against it due mainly to the fact that Minelab will not accept an older modded machine for any repairs/servicing & the newer machines will void their warranty if modded. I guess if you pick up an older modded machine cheap enough & it works ok it would be alright but then again if it doesn't you could still do $1500-2000 or more. Personally I wouldn't consider modding anything that is still under warranty but would possibly look at upgrading a SD or GP model if the modification was cheaper than upgrading to the next model i.e. if you could mod a GP Extreme cheaper than upgrading to a GPX 3500 & have similar performance it may be worthwhile but looking at current prices I think it would be just as cheap & maybe wiser to just upgrade. These mods can cost $1000+ & resale might be an issue also? [/QUOTE]
