Very quiet to the point of thinking if its on or not till you hit a bullet, no enthusiastic sounds from the machine, just an indication that something is there, you have to create your own excitement as to the size or whatever, where-as the Minelab would yell out what it had found. An occasional sound from a hot rock, its not until your magnet contacts the ground that you realise what your missing. I thought I wasn't getting enough responses as it made hard work of picking up a signal from my tester nugget (sub grammer) so I reverted back to the 4500 with a Sadie, the response to the tester nugget was loud and crisp but then the heat and the hot rocks made for hard going. The only true test would have been to put it over a target, but alas, there in lies our dilemma.</p></blockquote><p></p>
