[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 273668, member: 1916"] To be honest Ben, a good pan and/or sluice backed with a bit of research on where to try digging will yield more than an entry level detector. Although the entry level detectors are great for finding relics on the goldfields and, yes, if you are lucky enough to walk over a decent sized shallow nugget it will be yours.if you are treating this endeavour as a hobby, (or a bit of in with the kids King68, welcome) then it is all about getting out there and enjoying what comes, or doesn't. If you are more serious chasing the yellow, then a larger investment in technology is wiser. As for something for your kids King68, mine have interest capped at 20min intervals; was thinking of sending them back for a refund or returning them to creator for an interest upgrade. :rolleyes: when they are interested, looking at a dug up relic, panning for gold or specking for sapphires, feeding a sluice are memorable moments.
