Watch the video and make your own mind up, the GPX 4500 is less noisy than a 5000 and a detectormods.com modified GPX beats everything. #minelab #metaldetecting #metaldetector
I had a 7000 for a couple of years, I thought it was extremely sensitive on even the smallest specks of gold. I met an extremely successful prospector that used a 4000, in comparisons the difference between his machine and mine was very marginal, definitely not big enough to make up for our difference in experience. I sold the 7000 as I thought the cost was obscene for what it is even though I enjoyed finding the occasional piece, I am now waiting for something to come out at a reasonable price. :)
To me it seems it might be the rotary encoder, I have spayed contact cleaner in and down the shaft of the control and sometimes this can fix the problem.
Hi Woody in ur opinion 4000mod 4500mod and 5000mod which detector would be your go to because im convinced now not to purchase the newest models but recons its more beneficial to get 1 of the 3 mentioned
