GPX 4000 vs 4500

[KGB]

Hi All,

Just thought I would ask you all for your advice Finally convinced the wife to let me get a second hand detector and am trying to weigh up the pro's and cons of the 4000 vs the 4500. This is my first detector, I have only had minor experience detecting from what I have hired previously (and that was pulling out copious amounts of horseshoe nails and bullet heads out of the ground).

Unfortunately I have been told the Miners Den hire detectors were all stolen a couple of years ago hence the reason for me looking to buy one (maybe this is their crafty plan in getting me to buy one).

Other than the cost would I really be missing that much if I went with the 4000 rather than the 4500? Just trying to weigh up the benefits between the two and justify the additional cost for the 4500...

Thanks in advance!

Hi KGB, this will give you a little history of the different models.

I just went through a similar exercise and ended up with a 4000. For $3000 it was far better value than all bar one 4500 that I'd seen since the beginning of the year. Came with a CC Pick, a Nugget Finder 17x11 mono (pre-Advantage series) and an S upper shaft (very comfortable). The 4500 is a newer machine and undoubtably more capable in the right hands. I felt that my hands weren't $1000 more capable!

The only way to find the correct answer is to speak to experienced technicians from Minelab.

Fixed it for you bro.
