I just watched a youtube video of some guys prospecting in the Australian goldfields using the SD2000 and looked like a 4500.
I noticed they were getting quite a few hits and a fair bit of gold for a weekends work.
What I also noticed is that 100% of the gold they found was laying on top, or just below the surface. Well within range of a 705 in prospecting mode and fitted with the DD 18.75 coil.
So my point being, in this area, they probably would have done just as well with a $1000 machine opposed to a $5000 one ?
