[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 83052, member: 1582"] Hi Martin, in layman's terms looks like you are looking for a VLF machine which provides a "reading" of what's under the ground so you can get an indication before you dig if its ferrous or non ferrous and where on the scale of things it sits. Perfect for relic hunting. Gold machines are Pulse Induction and don't provide much info on the target but handle mineralised soil. Not many machines could be said are Gold and Relic combined so be careful about being told a VLF will find gold. In real conditions you need a PI machine to find Gold Your $2500 spend will get you into the top section of machines, you may also consider a second hand VLF machine for a quarter of the price to get you started and then make a more serious decision later. My older Exterra 70 would be a couple hundred on Ebay yet is a pretty good relic hunter. My 2 cents worth. I use a waterproof coil so other than dropping it in the drink I can go 1m under water with it when required. [/QUOTE]
