GPX 4500 is not for beginners

Mal in AUS - good
I upgraded from a 3500 to a 4500 and found the machine to be very complex. It's easy to use if you just leave it in the factory settings, but that's only the same as a 3500 anyway. Definitely not a machine for the beginner.

Magnificent Minelab

Maurie Hazell in Victoria, Australia - best
Being a very keen prospector for the last twenty years, my first machine was a Minelab 1500. From then on, I have been upgrading very few models, and purchased my GPX 4500 about six months ago. Since then, I haven't looked back, it's a brilliant machine! Its ability to find gold in thrashed areas is fantastic. I have basically been using the factory settings - enhanced mode with a 14" Coiltek, with very good results. Not necessarily big gold but a lot of it! This detector handles hot ground with ease. The only drawback is the difficulty in using it with electrical interference sometimes. Initially the machine is a little complicated to understand, but once you have mastered it, the machine is simply very good. My question is has anyone experimented outside the factory settings and to what results?
