[QUOTE="Dron, post: 380997, member: 7074"] Questions: Are you planning this trip specifically to look for gold? Do you have any prior experience metal detecting? How long will your trip be, and will you sell the metal detectors once the trip is over? Is $1800 the budget for both machines? If you're serious about chasing nuggets I would suggest a Minelab with Pulse Induction, but with a budget of $1800 you would only be able to afford one second hand machine, maybe a GP3000 or GP3500. The Minelab GP series have a wide variety of interchangeable coils. The Minelab SDC2300 is beginner friendly but even second hand they are around $3000 and fixed coil size. You could always spend your $1800 on hiring machines, [url=https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=22783]training days or gold tours[/url], or some combination of. [/QUOTE]
