Thanks for all the input guys, Ive decided Ill stick with the 45 and save up for an sdc, after all the 45 is an awesome machine and has been finding me gold... as they say if it aint broke dont fix it
Yes I have also found damp soil can improve depth and sensitivity but also if its too damp/wet will create a lot of false signals and effectively reduce depth.
I have the 9 elite and Im very happy with its capabilities, I love the 45 its just the fact the sdc is compact and easier to pack for trips other then that I cant fault the 45 and tbh Id love to just have both lol
Thats not a bad deal, Ill check with the dealers on a trade in deal first, if its not worth it Ill sell privately and then add the extra to purchase the sdc ... I would like to just buy the sdc and keep the 45 but The missus wouldnt let me live long enough to use the 2300 once she found out hahaha
I purchased it new it August 2015 not sure if still has warranty but it is in good nick and great working order, only reason for thinking about letting it go is it takes up more space then a sdc would
So Ive been thinking about trading in the gpx4500 and going for an sdc2300.
The 4500 is a great machine but I just love the idea of the sdc being so compact and water proof.
Just wondering what sort of trade in value the 4500 would have and if its really worth doing.
What are your thoughts?
Cheers
Waved the 9 around a bit this week end with great results, 4 lil mugs to a total of 1.86 g
Smallest being 0.16g from about 4-6inches deep. Cant wait to get back out with it now
I was there last week end, the creek is very dry, no water flowing at all and is basically a few puddles in the deepest sections only, the good news is you can still pan and some great spots are accessible while the water is low :playful:
With my last few trips of detecting coming up empty handed Ill be happy with just one nugget.
466 just blows my mind ... kind of makes me think I been doing something wrong this whole time :lol:
Wow thats a fair few nugs and a lot of trash lol
I dont have an sdc but I do have a 4500 equipped with a 9 coilteck that seems pretty damn sensitive so I might be able to pin something small.
Thanks again shauno
Hi guys Im heading up to lake Burrendong at Easter and hope to break my drought and find a nugget or two.
Is there any members here that would like to give a few tips or stories about the eagle beagle creek? Or even be around the area at that time for a catch up and a bit of swinging?
Cheers greg
Sensitivity issues?
I took mine for a walk on the weekend , I found it to be very sensitive.... maybe a little too sensitive, even in enhance mode she was giving clean signals on small hot rocks, and small bits of wire or boot tacks absolutely screamed.
Maybe some adjustments on the settings to...
