[QUOTE="PeterInSa, post: 546259, member: 6627"] Re (Would also depend on the area you plan to chase gold) Agree, The vid below shows an area that other detectors have most likely gone over and left small gold. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITSYb4Tts_8[/url] It seems that the Nox 800 is more successful using the 6 Inch Coil. ( I have yet to try mine out, as Easter is a non event) I cannot recall the size of the small nuggets I found with the SD2100 probably .5gm was the smallest but were mainly over 1gm from memory, and there are lot fewer bigger nuggets in the Triangle then when the 2100 first came out. So an additional outlay for a more modern coil could well be needed. An if you purchase a 2100 and are not finding anything ( which could happen with any detector you buy) will you regret not waiting/saving for a second hand 4500 or 2300. However, my memory of previous models of Minlab Detectors is fading and unless someone does a Nox 800 vs SD 2100 comparison similar to the above, its hard to say. Like Lord above a lot of Detector Operators have a Nox as well as their 4500/5000/7000. In your situation if I could not afford a 2nd hand 4500, I would buy the Nox 800 with a 6 inch Coil, and look at all the instruction Videos on You tube ( even B4 you buy/decide)as well as Nox800 in the Goldfields.
