[QUOTE="Stinky Pete, post: 13434, member: 451"] G'day BB. I would say if you can afford the latest and greatest GPX 5000 I'd go with that. You should be able to start out with factory settings and go out there and find gold. If the funds don't stretch to the 5000 get the latest machine you can afford, the later machines are more sensitive to small gold, they will still find the larger stuff if it's there and in reach. It's always nice to bring some colour home even if it is a nano nugget, still fun digging. From there they way you set up your machine with settings and coils will largely determine what size gold your searching for and also the combined weight of the machine, and maneuverability to move around obstacles and the likes.
