[QUOTE="jethro, post: 40412, member: 1297"] Got my first bit within 2 hours with[b] MY [/b] first detector bought brand new. A minelab XT17000, My Missus found a bit on the same heap 3 hrs later. You should have seen the look on the "sales & demo" guy's face when he turned up next day to give us a tutorial on how to find gold with the latest & greatest detector of the era. Needless to say, we thought we were going to clean up with that noisy plastic overpriced piece of electronic wizardry. Nine months later the SD2000 was released & that changed the detecting game for us as we couldnt afford the pricetag to get into the race for the gold that was now easily detectable that was way out of reach before. It was a long time between drinks with the XT Sqawrk box. BTW the first two bits were just pure luck & getting half lost out the back of whroo & pulling up at the right mullock heap at the right corner of the right track. Jethro. [/QUOTE]
