[QUOTE="user 1769, post: 172874, member: 1769"] I personally think the SDC is the bees knees down here, if you can afford it. I can pack it in my walking pack with camping gear, fossicking gear and three or four days of food and reach pretty remote areas. Like others have said, the SDC is incredibly stable compared to any VLF. If I was looking to purchase, I'd be tossing between the SDC and a second hand 4000 or 4500. But the portability of the SDC wins hand down. At least for me. I know a couple of others with SDCs down here and we all agree, it's like it was designed for Tasmanian conditions. Like many others I started with a VLF (in my case a Garrett AT Gold from Jack Beltane), and pretty quickly gave it up to coins only. Places like Mathinna and Lefroy were just too wavery to really hear the signals. If spending 4K is hard to justify, I'd personally shoot for something that is also ok for coins, because when you decide to upgrade you're less likely to loose money. After a year of owning my AT Gold, I had found more than enough moderns (and quite a lot of silvers) in parks and ovals to come up well on top if I decided to sell it second hand. [/QUOTE]
