[QUOTE="NuggetNed, post: 244332, member: 6094"] Hey Nicko, I have owned both, but sold the sdc and bought a used 4500. They're both great machines, but for me the reason to sell the sdc was because I realised the type of detecting I really wanted to do was chasing the bigger stuff in open ground. I still ocasionally hit the diggings with the 4500 using a smaller coil. Having that flexibility is something you just don't get with the sdc. The 4500 takes a bit more learning than the sdc. It has so many more settings but once you start to understand them you'll be right. There are some great prices going at the moment for the 4500. I'd recommend going for one of the package deals that come with a new nugget finder or coiltek coil, as you'll only want to buy one of those coils later on anyway. If I were in your position I'd definitely finance part of it as opposed to gettind an sd, it will give you a much better chance of getting on to the good stuff. I think it all comes down to what type of detecting you want to do. Good luck with it Cheers NN [/QUOTE]
