[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 406691, member: 378"] Hi Jay, Never really used a 4500 before, mostly just the 5000, but if everything is right with the machine and coils then for sure the mineralisation will be your biggest influence on depth. I've run in highly mineralised areas where even the mighty GPZ struggles on half gram bits at eight to ten inches so I suspect that could be the most likely culprit at this stage (with the current info). Get yourself into some milder country and you'll see an amazing difference, particularly with the 14' coil. It should have no issues pulling half gram to gram plus bits around the foot deep mark and beyond. :Y: All the best, Shauno. EDIT: Sniped by OzzieAU above in regards to the shape of the nugget so I removed the info, but that's just as important as the ground mineralisation. :Y: [/QUOTE]
