[QUOTE="Dutchy, post: 83041, member: 2211"] If you have that much re a budget and mainly want to look for coins/relics you have several top class machines to choose from. Have you ever detected before and do you plan to only do it sporadically and give it up in a year or so? That's the hard questions as this hobby has a turn over rate of guys thinking they can find heaps as they see others doing. Be prepared to do the time swinging and more importantly reading/researching. I have a few good finds from time to time but I average about 2 hours a week reading and about 6 hours detecting. If you have never used a detector before, want to give the hobby a try, I would go for a mid range all around. Several good models such as Garret ACE 350, AT. Minelab Safari, 705. Fisher, Whites and the one I learned on was a Tesaro model. If your only going to look for gold at times and mainly coins/relics don't buy a solely gold machine as you will be digging a bunch while looking for coins/relics. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
