RafterW, I tried using my 4500 in the California motherlode around some old miner cabins. For me it's way to sensitive and the discrimination really sucks in these super trashy locations. I would get multiple targets per swing(small pieces of wire and rotten cans.etc..). When using discrimination the 4500 would null the signal so much that if there was anything good there you wouldn't hear it anyway because there is no separation of targets. In an area relatively free of trash they will go ungodly DEEP.
