[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 509085, member: 3149"] Plenty of VLFs have found and are still finding gold in the Golden Triangle - it comes down to site selection, and operator skill. The guys that are getting gold regularly are using either the Gold Kruzer, Gold Monster and to a lesser extent Whites Goldmasters, Gold Racers, Equinox 800s. But yes, in a lot of areas their depth will be hampered by mineralisation, and/or you will be driven batty by hotrocks. Check out J & C Mining channel on YouTube to see what a VLF is capable of in Vic goldfields. But yes, if you want to be able to walk around virtually anywhere then you need a PI. Just be aware though that older PI's like the GP series are still good machines, they are just way behind when it comes to small gold sensitivity. If you are hitting areas that have been hit hard with 4500's/5000's and SDC's, there isn't going to be much left. Hire before you buy is a good way to find out for yourself. [/QUOTE]
