[QUOTE="PeterInSa, post: 606644, member: 6627"] Steve about 7 years ago in north WA, mate and self drove past an old patch, he had his 45, me no detector it was back at camp an hour a way thru the bush, I borrowed his wifes' 3000 after 5 minutes hearing hot rocks each swing I returned the 3000 back to his vehicle, the same signal with a 4500 would be gold, it does not pick up these hot rocks. The 3000 is a good detector and I could have adjusted the settings, and maybe ground balanced on the hot rocks etc to minimise their impact, but I think there is a massive difference between the 2 detectors. Like the 2000 and 2100 the 3000 was a signifcant leap in detecting history and so is/was the 45. 3 years ago we revisted this old patch, me with 7K she 2300, another mate a 45 and she a 2300 and picked up gold. ( and most probably its still there, just harder to find) What about selling the QED to make up the difference. [/QUOTE]
