[QUOTE="Ballina1, post: 424581, member: 7146"] Think about a second-hand Minelab Eureka Gold. Gold Monster: Too small a coil to search anything but a small area. OK when on a patch but you have to find the patch first. A single frequency that is designed for small gold, about 47khz from memory. Probably better technology No clumsy control box Eureka Gold: 3 selectable frequencies 6, 20 and 60 kHz for shallow to deeper targets. 60 KHz for small shallow gold. A larger elliptical coil allowing for higher ground coverage Fine, normal and boost settings to modify signal I recently sold my EG for $475 so if you can pick up one in good condition for a similar price you might be surprised how good it is for gold / targets in the top 6" or so. My second-hand SDC2300 purchase was unplanned and I would not have otherwise sold EG. [/QUOTE]
