[QUOTE="AuMan, post: 571262, member: 2670"] Just curious, was the one you had done by Detectronics or Detectormods? Reason I ask is that the Level 3 that I(Detectronics) do and the Detectormods Level 3 are completely different mods. Woody got his "Level 3" to open market just before we did and we had already coined it a Level 3 during testing and presales as it was the next after the Level 2. Probably should have called it a level 4 instead as it was a big jump over the level 2. I have had many experienced users of 4500's and 5000's who once they got a Level 3 F1A4 were very impressed and mainly use the f1a4 now. The GPX still has a place in the kit however. There is no one detector that does it all. Also there have been numerous tweaks made to the level 3 mods over the last few years. Another thing that can let the detector down and cause a bad user experience is coil quality. Some coils will work perfectly fine and other not at all. There is nothing I can do about that. It is to do with coil construction. The Nugget Finder Evolution coils will work very well on the F1 and any machine. I have tested many on the bench(and field) and the construction is very consistent across the range. Cheers Mick [/QUOTE]
