[QUOTE="Westaus, post: 285244, member: 2598"] This is my concern as well, what am I missing potentially? This is re-assuring and also another for the 4500 Happy with SDC but wants to go to a 4500. The concern I have is the same as above, if I only get one chance to go over the ground I want the best chance to find something decent. If I do I can comeback, but most cases I may only get to visit once and want to leave the area happy that it is covered as well as can be. The 4500 coil options do add flexibility that the SDC doesn't but again more things to carry, more things to loose or damage in my case usually. There is no doubt that the SDC will find small gold if it is there, no question at all. It is a mean machine. As for being hooked, already am done about 14 trips away to nearly every major mining centre in WA found some ok gold but always hired machines which by now could have owned one. Pretty sure this is a long term hobby so buying quality is important to me. From the posts so far looks like 4-1 (4500) however no negatives either about the SDC brings me back to Retirement Stone "Whichever one you get you will wish you had the other" LOL Some really good points, appreciate the comments.
