How-to Setup Your Minelab GPX For Deep Relics!

Even though this machine is no longer being manufactured by Minelab, the GPX 4500 is one of the best machines I have ever owned that will punch deep even through highly mineralized dirt. However, it isn't the easiest machine to setup. Regardless, a couple of my Patreon members asked me to put this video together. In this video I'll walk you through (setting by setting) how I have this machine configured to hunt the red dirt in Culpeper, VA. If you decide to use my configuration keep in mind that ground conditions will highly impact your experience so if you use my settings they will only get you in the ball park for your conditions so (more than likely) you will need to fine tune your machine to get it quiet. Getting it quiet is the key.

If you want to see and hear the GPX 4500 in action check out the latest video I made using the GPX 4500 here: https://youtu.be/ZW0VtHgGkoE I dug some deep targets in this video!
