[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 589319, member: 3960"] It's a great hobby if you use it as an excuse to get out there in the bush and exercise. If you're buying a detector to make money you might do better with your money in the bank even on today's interest rates :) The SDC2300 is a good machine for small surface gold and that's all most of us find these days however a good used GPX4500 or GPX5000 is a much better all round machine. The biggest difference is that the SDC works right out of the box. The other machines can be optioned up with various search coils that sometimes improve the machines performance. We're from WA and visited Wattle Flat for an overnight stay and came away with a few little nuggets found both with the GPX4500 and the SDC2300. We had no local knowledge but we are experienced with metal detecting. There's still gold to be found there on the common. [/QUOTE]
