[QUOTE="Dutchy, post: 87612, member: 2211"] Here is something I posted on another forum last week similar to this. A person asked which is the best detector for coins/relics. By the way I've paid for all my detectors a few times over with the below methods. Just don't get sucked in by the marketing crap that this detector is the "best and you will find everything with it with little to no experience" . The one you have is fine (the person had a Minelab 705). The key is getting a decent one (you already have) and learning everything about it. Your should become an expert with that detector and know what its telling you. At the end of the day the main thing is research and putting a decent detector in a target rich environment. The 'best' detector in the world will not find anything if no targets are there. Human nature is to always look for the easiest way to do things and buying a 'best' marketed detector is a way of just picking up a detector with little to no experience and finding heaps. ;) Afraid in the real world good consistent finds comes with time on the machine and research. Once you have 'mastered' your detector and you might think about upgrading. Saves you money and if you plan to spend a bit of time in the hobby then invest in the big machines. Just like using the most expensive fishing gear in the world and fishing in a barren lake. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
