[QUOTE="GypsyGoldAu, post: 255720, member: 5873"] I do concede the 2300 'may' hear the 'sponge' gold better than the 4500, yet i still find for a beginner who will be running to & fro to different fields, that a 4500 with a few coils of various sizes is still a better 'beginner' option, unless of course $12-14k for two machines is no big deal then yeah, go the 2300 & 7K.... Not every field has 'sponge' gold which appears to me to be the main argument to buy it.....yet i can still find crystalline and quasi sponge reef gold and sub 0.09 gold with my old 4000. Perfect yourself and know your machine and you wont have to rely on sourcing just 'sponge' gold to be ahead of the game. ;) What will the 2300 operator do when walking over 'researched' ground and finds no gold due to lack of depth ability of his 2300 as all the 'spongey' gold was cleaned out before he arrived by another 2300 operator?...goes home empty handed, and that can be costly [u]& no fun[/u] if it's an annual holiday trip many, many miles away.
