[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 618511, member: 10304"] Much depends on budget, then do your research on counterfeits particularly with Minelab, caution with Gumtree and stay away from eBay, good deals come up here. For something light and inexpensive the 1000 is worth serious consideration, great for small stuff but won't miss bigger nuggets either, then you're moving towards the 2300, 4500 or 5000 all have solid and well earned reputation, I have all three of the 4 so maybe a bit biased ;) Missing the 2300 For a beginner I think the 1000 is hard to go past, chuck it in a back pack with a pan and have fun checking gravel bars and scan the banks for a fun day in the bush.
