[QUOTE="the duck, post: 113763, member: 138"] I wonder who here on this forum have used a detector from 30 years ago, a compass, Red baron or the old garret, and if they have in percentage terms how much better are they than 30 years ago Ask all the old timers and have a look at what they found and at what depth VLF is a limited technology a lot of different brands have been made by the same designer, so bashing which is better is pointless it all depends on which one you are comfortable with and usually comes from a lack of knowledge PI detectors on the other hand have had some breakthroughs, but as we all know by the latest sale of aldi detectors, has led to parks and playgrounds being turned over and councils getting upset, if you made minelab 5000 detectors 500 dollars i think you would be battling to get a parking spot on the goldfields People have been bashing ford and holden for years and the part that makes me laugh is they were never Australian companies they just what we were sold, i personally couldnt care who bashes what just get out and detect [/QUOTE]
