[QUOTE="AussieTreasureDigger, post: 12564, member: 597"] Without going into good, better, best, i was recently on the verge of buying an Infinium, i own a Garrett AT Pro and a Minelab CTX, the 1st question i ask myself? is the machine waterproof. This may not matter to some, but i am out in all sorts of weather, i dont run from a storm, i keep hunting, unless of course there's lightning involved. I like to beach hunt and in summer i like to wade out to about chest deep and hunt the troughs. I am mainly a coin and relic hunter but i have a patch of pvt land that has alot of mullock heaps, so i made the decision i need a PI detector, but i cant cough the $6k for the GPX5000, so i was going to give the infinium a go over all sorts of terrain and see how it went on the gold. I pulled the pin on the Infinium because a little bird told me Garrett has a new PI machine due for release in August, so i put the hold in the Infinium for now. I picked up a PI machine this morning an old Minelab SD2200V2 (its actually newer than the GP Xtreme i used to own and bought new), and that will do me for now for the gold hunting, buuut i am soooo concious that its not water proof it bugs me already. So ask the question, do you now or maybe later require a waterproof machine, and if so tick that box and dont look at anything that isnt. Just another opinion in amongst a load of opinions :D All the best with it cheers Tony [/QUOTE]
