[QUOTE="GaryO, post: 296262, member: 4018"] I went through this dilemma about 6 months ago on deciding which way to go. I was swaying toward a 2300 but ended up thinking i didnt want to be always on the lookout for shallow ground everywhere i went just searching for small gold. I went the 4500 in the end and although im pretty experienced with detectors there is a bit of learning involved but i found the basic settings are pretty easy to get you going and with time and practice you can experiment with coils and settings as you become more comfortable . I ran an 8 inch mono coil on very low and smooth settings which im sure werent using anywhere near its power potential and still managed a nice little piece on my first outing , so im confident when set 100% right it will definitely keep you in the hunt for most of the small stuff out there while still having the ability to punch down deep for bigger nuggets . I just found the versatility in the long term outweighs any brief concerns about learning the machine :cool: Gaz [/QUOTE]
