[QUOTE="davidwrunner2, post: 276219, member: 7375"] G'day Bowman, I was where u are - about 4 months ago. Firstly its a lot of fun - always something interesting happening. Secondly, it's not easy finding a spot where 235 other detectors haven't been before you. So with petrol and other costs if you are doing it to make money u might be disappointed. I started with a 2300 but it limits you to shallow/surface smaller bits - and even those are hard to find. My next strategy is a second hand 5000 or 4500. If u can afford it then the 7000 is obviously a great machine - but if u decide its not for u then its an expensive exercise. Maybe promise the missus some gold nugget jewellery with the first bits!!! Good luck anyway [/QUOTE]
