New member & not a gold hunter---yet!!!

Hello from central Virginia, USA. I am a long time relic hunter & recently acquired the 4500. In addition to being reported as the best gold machine I have found it to be far superior to any machine I have used for locating (Civil War) relics. I signed on to this site to learn more about the 4500 so I may ask a few questions of you veterans now & then. If they seem elementry bear with me I'm still learning.

Hopefully as I gain experiecne I'll give gold hunting a go. We do have several areas in the state that have produced in the past & I know some folks still do some panning in the small streams.

So far I have learned a lot from reading your posts but most of it is over my head at this point. Keep the good information coming & I thank you, GOOD HUNTING!

Welcome Don,
You have made the right choice to get into detecting for gold, the GPX-4500 is a magic machine coupled up to a mono coil. Feel sure if you search the banks of the streams where gold has been panned you will be onto nuggets.
Good luck with your new venture.

Happy hunting
Peter
