[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 555383, member: 2152"] Could take the weekend (or 2 consecutive days) and try hiring a machine from Coiltek in Maryborough, only a short drive further down the road. One or two days swinging around will give you a good feel for the gold detecting then you can consider your PI options. The Nox is hard work on gold (less so with the 6 inch), same for GM, never mind the sales hype. Neither are bad detectors, just hard to use in hot ground and are only good on shallow targets. Ive owned both and tested their mettle. Both machines require a lot of mental patience. The Nox is pretty darn good on coins though, and has more settings than youll ever need. If you spend time with it on the ground regularly you would recoup your outlay. I kept my 600 for that reason. Im not trying to go against the grain on the above advice only to say that gold is hard to find, and so Id advise giving yourself the best chance. I got my GM second hand for the same price I sold it for, plenty for sale if you are curious, a lot with warranty still. :perfect: Edit I just read the above reply, good luck mate :Y: [/QUOTE]
