[QUOTE="Goldfield Joe, post: 358174, member: 3537"] Hi Joe, I bought a TDI Pro OZ in 2014. It's a very good detector for what was then about $2200 but due to the value of the Aussie Dollar they cost more now. I found gold with it. When Minelab "re-released" the GPX 4500 in 2015 I bought one and have never looked back. I find it way more sensitive and it can run so quietly in comparison. They are two very different PI machines and both work but I love the 4500 and many other users out there do too. If you can afford to I would say jump in and buy a 4500 new, if you think you can't afford one look at interest free options online. The 4500 has a lot more settings and I find it to be more versatile on a range of soils than the TDI. I recommend hiring a TDI, and then a 4500, try them on the same ground, see how you go and make a decision based on what you find the better machine to be. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
