[QUOTE="Anolphart, post: 507152, member: 11434"] I agree with mxt. I have a 5000 but would be equally happy with the 4500. The GPX series can be difficult to master if you want the optimum performance under ALL conditions, BUT you can switch it on and start detecting immediately if you leave everything in the factory default setting. Lately I have been getting a lot of sub grammar nuggets down to about .03 grams in shallow depths just like an SDC does. Did I miss any that an SDC would have picked up? Maybe, but we are talking about tiny, tiny nuggets and very faint targets. Waterproofness would be nice once in a blue moon for me, but I'm quite happy with the 5K. Just remember that whatever machine you buy, you will need to spend time getting to know all of the sounds and to do that you will dig up a lot of junk and even empty holes because of ground noises.
