Minelab GPX-4500 Gold Metal Detector Review

Minelab metal detectors are known for quality and dependability. The GPX-4500 is designed for superior performance in locating valuables. This metal detector is one of the best for locating gold. This metal detector features a new technology called Smart Electronic Timing Alignment (SETA) that allows a person metal detecting to set a timing option that is conformed to a particular area's conditions where you can set precision alignment to focus on finding treasures. The Minelab GPX-4500 combined with the SETA technology allows a treasure hunter to control noise interference by using one of the six timing options. This allows you to eliminate trash and other debris that may give a false reading especially for gold. Each of the timing options with the SETA technology allows you to find the smallest buried gold nuggets at maximum depths.

The Minelab GPX-4500 is a stronger machine than other gold metal detectors and gives gold hunters more versatile functions to find gold. The multi-period pulse induction feature as well as the SETA technology offers a quieter operating gold metal detector with louder signals for potential gold. Also, the combined technology has improved signal discrimination to help control reading for trash.

The Minelab GPX-4500 gold metal detector has the following cool features:

The GPX-4500 has six pre-programmed search modes allow you to get hunting for treasure without much programming on your part. The six pre-programmed search modes are general, deep, hi-mineral, hi-trash, patch and test A. You can modify any of the six search modes and change the name as well. These six pre-programmed features will save you a lot of unnecessary digging as long as you adjust the setting to the potential area that you're hunting.

The ground balance feature is great for sandy soil areas. Also, when you turn it off in non-mineralized soils it gives you more increased depth readings.

The Minelab GPX-4500 gold metal detector has a backlight that allows you to read the LCD screen in day or night conditions. The metal detector even has an adjustable time-out to save the battery life of the gold detector.

Also, the gold detector has a fine tuner that provides you full control over the threshold stability. This is important to allow you to pick up the weakest signals that may be hidden in the ground at depths that may not be considered for gold.

One of the best features of the Minelab GPX-4500 is the target volume control where you can increase the strength of softer signals. Treasure hunters that suffer from hearing loss and winding conditions will benefit from this feature allowing you to hear signals more clearly.

The GPX-4500 has improved discrimination capability in areas full of trash such as old gold mining sites and creek banks. The metal detector has an iron reject feature that will allow you to set the desired level of discrimination from cautious to aggressive thus helping reduce unnecessary digging. By rejecting trashy areas the GPX-4500 will help find those gold treasures that once were passed over by other metal detectors.

The detector has a built-in amplifier that will detect soft signals from gold nuggets that are buried deep. The amplifier is built on the Lithium-Ion battery pack help provide stronger signals.

Minelab has created a great gold metal detector that will help improve your chances of finding gold. The battery life on the detector is around 12 hours. Minelab provides a 3-year warranty on the control box as well as a 1 year warranty on the coil.

The cost of the Minelab GPX-4500 is around $5,000 dollars and comes with some great features that will help you find gold if you're in an area that has the shiny treasure. The GPX-4500 is built for finding gold nuggets, but don't let it go to waste because you can find coins, jewelry and other items as well. The price is expensive compared to other metal detectors, but it would be hard to find a gold metal detector with the precision of the Minelab GPX-4500.
