[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 399192, member: 4485"] Any of them are good & different people will have different opinions on them. For example a lot of people swear by the SD2200D & still have them as a back up. IMO the older machines have good depth but can lack the sensitivity + ground handling of the GPX onwards but at the right price an older SD/GP series can be a good starting point. Another thing to keep in mind now is repairs if needed & Minelab may not or may not be able to repair anything older than a GPX4000 [url]https://www.minelab.com/anz/customer-care/product-notices/discontinued-products[/url] Generally most will likely advise you to get the latest Minelab model you can afford. Minelab timeline: [url]https://www.minelab.com/anz/metal-detectors/gold-detectors[/url] One other option might be to check out the QED. If in Victoria he may be able to check one out first. IMO the QED is close to the GPX series but at a more affordable entry price new. [/QUOTE]
