I think at this point if it were minelab I'd be leaning more towards an sdc 2300 if I were to go a pi machine as the 4500 is usually quite a bit steeper in price and the 5000 or the gpz are Waaay Moreton I can afford. Either way, lots of food for thought, though I think I'll be avoiding the QED...

Hmm. Lots to go with. Guess minelab are popular for a good reason. If I had the funds I'd be trying everything under the sun. Guess that's why I don't have them! :rolleyes: Thanks everyone.

Quite an informative article. Do these other companies have their own hardware or are they more of a copy of existing ideas that minelab came up with? And John, forgive me, but what's zvt compared with pulse induction or very low frequency? Is the gpz a zvt?

Hey guys, I'm after a bit of first hand experience as to other brands of metal detectors particularly for gold use. I'm curious about the tessoro logo supertrack with its lifetime warranty.. Or a garret of white? It's it that minelab are the best, or are they just the most popular/best...

Sure I'll do it. As long as you don't need experience or for me to supply equipment that's younger than myself.

Oh and it's a 5 pin. So I'll keep searching

Ah sweet. Thanks so much for the information guys. Yeah wasn't sure about what type the VLF uses. I'll get in touch with coiltech tomorrow. Might be able to go up there next time I'm up north.

Would that be a mono, do you know?

Thanks Peter, I might see if I can call them tomorrow. It works well enough with the 10 inch but it fades quickly with a little height. I'm sure somethibg will show up though. :)

Ugh. I didn't proof read. Plastic on the coil* 10 inch supersearch*

Hey everyone, My ancient goldseekers 15000 arrived today, I'm planning to repair the broken plastic on the coolant was wondering if anyone could tell me which coil I could get for it as a replacement? It has a 10 inch superstar's coil already, but I wouldn't know if that's a mono or a DD. Any...

Gidday lw26 I'm fairly new here too. So far everyone's been great. I've learnt a lot about detecting and the various machines to use from here. What part of Vic do you hail from? -Joe

I noticed that the Goulburn River is on the exempt list, but many of the titles go to the centre of the river. Is it still exempt to detect the river on the private property with the land owner's permission?

It's so exciting to read posts like this. I can't wait to be able to get out there and do all this myself! Keep it up! -Joe

Damn, can't see the link. :(
