G'day ,
New member based in East Gippsland but will probably do some exploring from anywhere in Gippsland . I understand soil types determine which type of technology is best for your area, and was wondering what detector type is best suited in Gipsland as I am unsure of the geology in the area and particularly hunting gold. My better half wants me to keep it under a grand if I can, and have noticed I can pick up a Gold Monster 1000 , second hand for under a grand, I was just unsure if I really need something with pulse tech or whether I can get away with VLF.

Thanks in advance-Gippsland Gold :)
 
VLF is a great way to start and from what I have seen of the GM it's a capable machine. I started with a Whites GMT (VLF)and still use it occasionally, they are more than capable of finding gold and you can occasionally find GMT's at good prices.
Nowdays I use my 2300 mostly, both are good machines.
Cheers
Mick

Would love to be able to give advice for there but have never set foot.
If your budget limits you though then a Monster under a grand is good and an Xterra 705 with an elliptical coil, should get one about $500 too $600, both good VLFs. Whites GMT too if cheap. Dont pay over the $500 to $600 for any of them second hand except for the Monster. But as far as VLFs go id back all 3.
Last word....Pulse with a Flat wound Coiktek or Nugget Finder coil.... :Y:
