[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 530654, member: 12692"] to date Ive only picked up 1 tiny tiddler of 0.5gm with the GM that was about 40-50mm deep. I don't know what its max depth might be on a decent size target of say 1/2oz or more. (I don't get a lot of time in the gold-fields yet, so have only ever found a very small amount in total). I haven't actually had a hell of a lot of experience with it, & took a while to lose its virginity, as I also have a GPX4000 & SD2100+ The GM is good if you DONT use its discrimination (Iron Reject), but rather use the deeper All Metal mode & dig everything. The SD series can still be be picked up 2nd hand for around the same or a little more than the new price of a GM, & has far greater depth & the versatility of most of the GPX coils. Being a PI it can handle ground that the GM cant. [/QUOTE]
