[QUOTE="PeterInSa, post: 618357, member: 6627"] Hi Gd, To me it gets down to a number of things, Your detecting location eg Tibooburra, small gold 2300 would be best, WA either, know of a 2300 that found good gold in May and June, I think most gold left in WA is small eg around Hawks Nest out from Laverton. Ditto in Vic's Golden Triangle, but the type of coil on the 5000 can also be a game changer. Your age can determine the best choice, have dug deep holes in Vic for gold and lots and lots of rubbish, by an large the 2300 won't find deep gold but lots of small stuff and gun shot pellets ( lots of them, but they could be small gold, dig to find out) Mate with a 4500 is happy that his detector does not find many pellets, because of his bad back and knees, but knows that he is missing small gold. And as for buying new, I recently sold SWMBO's 2300 for $2900 a great detector (with extras), so suggest that buying new is not needed, and I think the value of the 2300 new and a 5000 will only reduce in time. I suggest you put the extra $ into a GPX6000 and you will not look back. [/QUOTE]
