Awesome thanks heaps for those tips

I was going to get an SDC however I haven't found in my price range as yet. I did see a GPX 4500 for sale at a very good price. The ad says its all good and ready to go. I was just wondering how do you test a used metal detector? I did a bit of search here and couldn't really find anything...

Getting to where the gold is I might only ever find a couple of grams but for me it's more about having something to do, if I find stuff great if I don't so be it. It's just about getting out If the house, going camping and having time to give my poor brain a break and do something physical.

Thank you, that was the the only reply that made any sense.

If the answer is treasure hunting, an equinox, shovel and finds bag would be just about ok to start with. You do not need a panning kit for that - This is not what I'm asking, I know what kind of equipment is required for that. If the answer is prospecting you need to ask a further question -...

Wow, I have to be honest. I wasn't expecting such amazing replies. I'm glad Ai found this forum. I was pretty set on an sdc from the research I had done and this pretty settles it. Thank you all for the amazing advice. I truly appreciate them all. Now onto finding a detector 😄

My budget is 3k. The models I mentioned are what I've seen in that price range and have all been mentioned as good gold detectors. How often do I expect to be out? Well at least once a month is the plan. I'd like tonget out one weekend a month and go camping and do some prospecting. That won't...

That's a great reply, thanks very much.

Hi all, After working out my budget and doing a little bit of research around that budget, Ai feel that it comes down to GPX4000/4500 (I have seen a few of the latter in the price range I'm looking at) GP3000 or SDC2300. So I'd like some opinions on which would be best for a beginner and why...
