[QUOTE="Guest, post: 99055"] Any of the older machines will still punch down deep meaning some deep holes will be dug. Many regard the SD2200 as the top deep punching machine. If you were to get an older machine I would go after an SD2200 that has had a ground tracking button fitted. The GP3500 was the first model to have a ground tracking button fitted stock & is a good detector too. If I were to get an older machine again, even though I do have a soft spot for the SD2200, I would get a GP3500 with a light lithium battery set up. For the amount of time you would be detecting & for ease of use the SDC2300 would be ideal. It is an expensive option though for not a lot of usage. Keep in mind it may still be heavy for you if using for long periods of time so a harness & bungy cord may be required. Also a Black Al cover with straps is a good idea to protect it & keep the arm cuff open. These are an extra cost but with the harness you may be able to haggle on a package deal or even get one thrown in? If getting a SDC2300 I would ensure you get the newer ones that should now have headphones with a longer lead. The short lead on the headphones is a pain but usable. [/QUOTE]
