[QUOTE="Derka, post: 508070, member: 15091"] I played with an SDC 2300 for a week then decided on the GM1000 as a starter. My thoughts were that for limited use Id rather park $1k in the closet than $3k. Having bought the GM I see that it is a great way to get into detecting and learning different patches, before taking it serious with an upgrade. I still have the GM and am learning all the time about the detector and the grounds I detect. I found with the SDC I was digging everything including a lot of scrap but the GM offers the advantage of ferrous/non-ferrous which allows you to make a decision whether to dig or not. For the GT, the GM is a lot of work but once you understand it and are prepared to take the time to learn it you will find gold. With the SDC you can turn it on and go and it handles mineralisation better. It has better depth than the GM but may not pick up the tiny bits that the GM can. If I could, I would have both. [/QUOTE]
