[QUOTE="peakin, post: 63647, member: 2633"] Hi all. Im new to this, i haven't used a forum before. im also new to prospecting. My question is are the minelab f1a4 detectors any good for gold detecting? im not talking about the modified ones for $2200. The one i'm looking at has had the coil and headphone plugs modified to take other coils and headphones. my brother uses a gpx5000 i haven't got the money to buy a gpx. i have about $1000 to spend. the bloke i spoke to selling the f!a4 tells me it is equivalent to a sd2200, as i'm a newbie i wouldn't have a clue. i know they are a PI detector so are they worth it or should i go with something else. i've also been looking at the garrett ATGOLD would this be a better choice for me than the f1a4? I would be using the detector in victoria and iv herd the ground is very noisy here so stay away from VLF detectors. or can i buy the f1a4 for around $800 and get the modification done cheaper instead of paying $2200 for one already modified. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
