[QUOTE="TheSilentBugler, post: 174608, member: 1539"] G'day mate, metal detector choices can be a minefield, same as any toy people have their favourites, and will waffle on and argue about them until they run out of breath. A pinpointer won't save you panning if you're after tiny gold, it's only really useful for saving a little time finding a lump of metal in the hole you're digging. Panning and detecting are separate activities. You want a Pi machine, right now, because you mentioned match head sized gold and that you're obviously new to it I'd advise getting yourself a demo. I'd lean towards a demo if the sdc 2300 as others have said, it is simple to pick up and go with, you won't be bombarded with coil choices, settings, etc, and if the Gold is there, you'll find it reliably. It is a bit of a one trick pony, but it does that trick very well, it's whole purpose into find small gold in tricky ground. Take all this with a grain of salt though, I own one and am perhaps biassed. [/QUOTE]
