[QUOTE="Hamsy, post: 643313, member: 17898"] G'day all, hey I know that a lot of people have upgraded to new detectors recently, but I am still trying to work out why people say that a 4500 is a good detector, I have found gold with mine, but it is inconsistent in varying ground conditions. Off to Clermont in Qld on Sunday, when I was there after Easter, it was damp and where I am based the ground is full of hot rocks and mineralised soil and add water to that and it made the detector very noisy with my 9" and 12" Monos. When I tried to quieten it down, I lost a lot of depth on the practice targets we have at the Camp. I have a GP series 11" DD Coil that came with the detector and my information says it combats wet and noisy ground better than the Monos. Has anyone found it worth while using that or similar coil in those conditions? I have been offered a loan of a GPX6000 but I hear they don't like wet ground much either? Any helpful info is appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
