Mate enjoy your new toy ................... now remembering the pain you and your fingers went thru making an SDC coverWishfull said:paul_mac1 said:Wishfull said:My new gpx 4500 turned up today. Think I will be playing with it tonight.....maybe every day for quite a while

Nice work, wheres the 1st trip to?
Paul
I must have been playing too much then I have reading glasses :/
Off to Wedderburn sometime in April with my Wife.
Looked at the DVD at 6:00 pm unpacked 4500 at 6:30 pm assembled by 8:30 pm yep 2 hours, but I was very fussy. If you knew what you were doing probably 1/2 hr. or so. I like the way it's made it all fits together very well although if you were in hurry or heavy handed I could see someone breaking something. I have a fairly small frame so the harness is pretty much pulled up to max. The machine once setup properly is so light to swing it just floats. The SDC is quite heavy compared to it.
Put the external speaker on, charged the battery and turned machine on had a bit of a play to make sure all the bells and whistles worked and switched it off, didn't take it outside as it was dark and I was starving by then. Eating as I type this. Need to make a cover for it soon.
To compare the SDC to the 4500, Landcruser to a truck, the 7000 would have to be a Mack B Double. The SDC is so easy to set up and go though. My wife will be finding gold before I leave I recon
To be continued.
I happen to have a brand new cover in the bits n bobs box that I'm happy to donate to the cause (search for gold that is) shoot me a pm with address and will send it out to you Hope ya find the Yella fella :Y:

Worst thing is I would be very surprised if I actually get to test out the new 4500 this weekend. I know that sucks.

Bogger, you mate are a legend in my eyes. Hope you find a 50 ounce nugget :Y:
Wishfull said:
Mate it's just great to see someone so passionate about what they are doing :Y: ............... best of luck to you and the wife in the search.
There have been a few on this board that have helped me out heaps so it's just giving a bit back and hopefully Aust Post won't send it around the world and back before you receive it
By the way I'll certainly let you know if I stumble upon the fifty ouncer
The 4500 came with an 11 inch Mono coil and an 11 DD coildavent said:

Same as mine wishfull. The 11" mono is a great coil and over the years i reckon its found most of the gold of any other coil.
I have not tried my DD yet. Still learning the machine myself

I have 2 old steel trunks, an Alice Pack, bits of webbing, I actually bought an SLR when we changed over to the F88, but that went with the buy back.......(boo hoo!)
And my most valuable ex Army kit, is my 3 hootchies, you don't realise how good a piece of kit they are until you see other armies gear, and I use them all the time.
