[QUOTE="PeterInSa, post: 547070, member: 6627"] CR re the SD2200D, to me the best person to answer that question is a person who owns a 2200D and that is his/her main gold machine and is finding gold. Operators like myself can remember the good old days with the 22 and they were good. My 2200D Story: About 7 to 10 years ago, we were camped in the Bush North East of Leonora, and had a starter problem with my landcruiser and tracked down a starter in Laverton owned by a Landcruiser Tragic, he had x Cruisers in His yard. Drove from the Nambi road thru the bush to the Leonora/Laverton Tar and onto Laverton, got a good deal on a fully reconditioned starter along with Coffee for self/wife and mate/wife, and my new Landcrusier Friend suggested I install the starter in his yard which we did ( a semi driver was also working under his vehicle as well, along with the friend's dogs checking us out re progress. Wife and I did not bring our GPX 4500's since I though we would install the starter back at camp. On the way home we stopped at a spot(6 Oz patch) that the royal we ( SWMBO) had found some years previously. Mate used his 4500 and I used his wifes 3000. I loved the 3000 when I owned one. I used the mates wifes 3000 for 5 minutes, I could not stand the hot rocks ( it had the standard Minelab 11 Mono Coil) on every sweep, you would hear 5 or 6 sounds that on the 45 would be gold. I said I would rather sit in the Cruiser and watch. At the time we had a 2200D in the Van as a backup just in case of problems with one of our 4500's. We sold the 2200D when back in Adelaide, If I could not put up with a 3000, the 2200D was also a No No. That's what Technology does to you, If I never had the 45, I would have been happy with the 3000, ditto the 2200.. Note last year we went back to this patch, 4 of us with 45's, a 2300 and a 7K and found around 30 small pieces in a wide area. Peter [/QUOTE]
