Thank you for your kind welcome, Steve. I enjoy reading your posts and have learnt a lot from them.I have been following with interest reports on the SDC2300 on this and other forums and get the impression that it would eclipse the ATX in its ability to detect small gold. It would be interesting to try out an SDC in areas that I have previously worked with the other two machines.

G'day everyone, here's photos of some Tasmanian gold : #1 - 7gms found with GPX5000 #2 - 10gms found with ATX

Hi all, I am from Tasmania, Australia and new to this forum.I have a ML GPX 5000 and a Garrett ATX and despite the challenges of steep terrain, sometimes impenetrable vegetation and highly variable weather conditions, have managed to find a little gold with both of them. Recent finds include: 23 nuggets total weight 10gms ranging from 0.5gms to 2.6gms with the ATX and 4 nuggets total weight 7.0gms ranging from 0.15gms to 5.5gms with the GPX. I had my GPX5000 for some months before I found my first gold with it and the ATX three weeks due to it being more user friendly in tight conditions. Hope to post some photos soon as I figure out how to upload them. Cheers, Fox
