[QUOTE="KIM-MARGARET, post: 332138, member: 1311"] I have a 4800 at the time of getting it the new 4500 wasn't out and there was no talk of a new 4500 I done a lot of looking and asking trying to get a second hand 4500. They were pretty hard to find and when one did come up they were around the $4,500 mark and pretty old. I had looked at the 4800 and we all know the story of what went on during production they skipped to the 5000 and the 4800 was pushed to overseas market as a relic machine. But the 4800 new was $4,500 I added everything up spoke with mine lab got as much info on it. Ground balance identical to the 5000 the old 4500 was noisy. Trade off no fine gold timing RX goes to 15 not 20 As a starting machine for the price perfect I have found plenty of gold with it. When my husband got the GPZ he said I could have his 5000 I wouldn't part with my 4800 nor have I wanted to try the 5000 Short reply the 4800 was pushed to over seas market as a relic machine just didn't take off in Australia.
