[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 675805, member: 3960"] I'm guilty of almost never changing my settings on the GPX4500. I found the highest settings for gain and stabilizer that gave me a steady threshold on enhanced with fixed tracking and rarely altered it for years. I guess I could have done better fiddling with the finer settings but I consistently fount more gold than others around me so I had no reason to play with it. After the last couple of years swinging the GPX6000 and finding lots of tiny gold beyond the reach of the GPX4500 I'm not convinced that it's a better detector. In the coming year I'll be back with the GPX4500 to see if the GPX6000 failed to find the bigger targets or if they are not there anymore to be found. Since swapping to the GPX6000 I've not found anything over 10g and that used to be at least a weekly find on the GPX4500. The biggest difficulty is that I find it harder to carry the heavier detector for hours at a time. [/QUOTE]
