    Metal Detector advice $500 to $1500

    Exactly right John :) Last thing I wanna do is rush and make a big mistake. The aim of my post was purely to get advice and recommendations on the correct machine for my needs. Since my post started, I have been able to rule out VLF machines to start with, I have ruled out other brands [even...

    Metal Detector advice $500 to $1500

    So true mate and that what I was thinking. I'm not the type of guy that starts a hobby and then walks away from it. I have been around prospectors in the past and totally love being amongst it.

    Metal Detector advice $500 to $1500

    IF I hold off buying maybe for a month or 2 longer and put a few more $$ up, then would the Deus be worth a look or would it be better to stick with the Minelab range? I've seen a few GP3000 for $1700 and a 2200 for $1700 .... I'm actually really peeved right now because I found a local selling...

    Metal Detector advice $500 to $1500

    Hi John, Thankyou for your input mate, much appreciated. Just out of curiosity, what is the Nokta Range like in comparison to Minelab models that you mentioned above? The Nokta FORS GOLD Pro Package actually looks quite good.

    Metal Detector advice $500 to $1500

    Hi All, After much thought I'm considering purchasing my first Detector. I have recently purchased 2 cheapies for the kids and waiting for those to arrive. I'm currently looking at the best Detector that I can get within my $1300.00 budget and will predominantly be prospecting for gold...
