Testing today 4500 1gm test weight was lead at 6 inches inches in soil easily audible. Is this acceptable. Soil fairly benign.

What coil size/type?
Old style Colltek14 inch DD in mono.
Settings in enhance with gain at maximum would be my preference could see a little improvement.
I like aluminium instead of lead.
Try a pop rivet without the stem... Reacts like gold.

Thanks. Various settings. No improvements in enhance. Now I have a start on what to expect of the capabilities of the 4500. 14 inch Coiltek Elite to come later when I can afford it. Will experiment with other coils next time I go. Thanks again.
In W.A with all my mono coils I rarely ever find grounds i can run in normal settings. Too hot.. You'll end up digging alot of ground noise if your new to WA.
Go with enhanced, standard settings.
When you experience Hot WA grounds you'll see why enhanced is an improvement there.
If your feeling like you do want to play with settings, if the grounds allow, bump up gain and stabiliser up by 1-2.
I like Gain 10, stabiliser 8.
Much better to have it nice and stable.
That's just my experience from the Kalgoorlie-Coolgardie region

You do realise only one half of your coil is doing the search?
Owned a 4500 for 10 years using the supplied mono in WA, mainly Leonora region. 20" NF mono when patch hunting.
Yes
